OpenUSD has launched on Tempo, a blockchain payment network, with roughly $468 million reported in circulation at the time of the announcement. That figure represents the total amount of OpenUSD tokens said to be in active supply across the network at launch.
Circulating supply is the number of tokens that have been issued and are available to use. Think of it like the amount of a new currency that has actually been printed and handed out, as opposed to what a central bank might hold in reserve.

The approximately $468 million figure gives a rough sense of the scale of OpenUSD’s debut. It does not, on its own, confirm details about reserves backing the token, how widely it is being used, or how liquid the market is. Those details would require separate disclosure from the project.

Why circulating supply matters for a stablecoin launch
Stablecoins are digital tokens designed to hold a steady value, usually pegged one-to-one to the US dollar. Circulating supply is one of the first metrics analysts watch when a new stablecoin enters the market, because it shows how much of the token has already been distributed and is actively in use.

A launch figure near $468 million places OpenUSD in a meaningful range at debut. Circle’s CEO has noted that OpenUSD must first break USDC’s network effect to gain wider adoption, which gives context to how competitive the stablecoin sector already is.
Circulation alone does not establish that a stablecoin is safe, stable, or backed one-to-one with real dollars. Readers evaluating any stablecoin should look for reserve audits or attestations from the issuer before using it. The broader stablecoin market tracked across chains shows how much competition OpenUSD enters alongside.
What to watch after OpenUSD’s debut on Tempo
The most telling signal after any stablecoin launch is whether circulation grows or contracts in the weeks that follow. A rising supply typically means more users are minting the token; a falling supply suggests redemptions are outpacing new issuance.
Verified details on where OpenUSD can be used within the Tempo ecosystem, whether it is available on exchanges, and what the reserve structure looks like would provide important context. Those disclosures, if made, would come from Tempo or the OpenUSD issuer directly. Payment integrations, like PayPay’s recent rollout of Binance Pay for overseas visitors in Japan, show how stablecoin utility often depends on real-world merchant and service adoption.
For now, the confirmed fact is that OpenUSD is live on Tempo with a reported circulating supply of roughly $468 million. Supply trends in the weeks ahead will offer the clearest early signal of whether users are actively adopting the token.
