Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

Circle Mint has announced that starting October 19 it will no longer charge overage fees on USDC and EURC redemptions. Standard redemptions will remain free of charge, while Express redemptions will keep a 0.05 % base fee before any conditional credits are applied. The credits vary from 25 % for eligible positive net minting to 100 % when the net minting volume reaches $100 million. This change removes the surcharge that had previously applied to overages, simplifying the fee structure for users of Circle’s stablecoins.
