33 trillion? Nah, I don't believe it. We need to look at the real on-chain data.

NGL stablecoins are really taking off this time, doubling from 33 trillion directly, USDC is the main course while others are just enjoying the soup.

$33 trillion? nah, dig deeper—how much of that's actual settlement vs circular arbitrage loops and sandwich attacks grinding through the dark forest? USDC dominance doesn't feel like adoption, feels like centralization theater when you know the MEV extraction happening underneath 👀

On-chain data shows that the figure of 33 trillion is a bit outrageous... I ran through the contract late at night, and there are interesting aspects of the USDC transfer mode worth noting.
