dYdX Chain governance is currently considering software upgrade v9.9, according to Live 
Bitcoin News. The proposal would initiate an 
Injective 
USDC migration on dYdX Chain by redirecting the backing for USDC from Noble to Circle-issued USDC on Injective. The Operations subDAO published the relevant forum brief on November 13.
The existing USDC denomination on dYdX Chain has an on-chain supply near $68 million, Live Bitcoin News reported. That figure refers to the chain’s current USDC denom and is separate from the live USDC circulating-supply estimate of $69.24 billion published by DeFiLlama. The report did not provide an independent corroborating outlet for the proposal or the $68 million figure.
The development concerns the infrastructure behind a stablecoin position: the proposal would alter where USDC backing is held and connect dYdX Chain’s USDC denomination more closely with Injective. No final approval, migration date or implementation result was supplied in the coverage. The headline described more than $80 million as awaiting migration, while the reported on-chain supply for the existing denomination was near $68 million; the supplied material does not explain the difference between those figures.
Live market data show a cautious backdrop. USDC traded at $0.999643, up 0.01% over 24 hours and down 0.01% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $69.05 billion. INJ was priced at $7.63, down 6.21% over 24 hours and 7.68% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $762.55 million. Total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.3 trillion, Bitcoin declined 4.11% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index registered 13, labeled Extreme Fear. The proposal’s outcome and the treatment of the existing $68 million denomination are the main implementation points to monitor.
Since this brief published about 13 hours ago, USDC (USDC) has moved from $0.9996 to $0.9996 — +0.00%.
The chart plots USDC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDC ≈ ₦1,412 (about $0.9996), up 0.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 4.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
