  4. Injective Broadens USDC Use Across Cosmos and dYdX — this brief

TronWeekly reports that Injective is expanding its USDC infrastructure across Cosmos and dYdX through a stablecoin migration involving more than $80 million. The development links the two networks with a substantial shift in stablecoin activity and positions USDC more deeply within Injective’s ecosystem. The same report says INJ was holding near $8 while broader markets weakened, and attributes long-term price targets of $30, $50, and $100 to Crypto Patel. Live market data show a weaker current position: INJ is trading at $6.94, down 13.07% over 24 hours and 15.21% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $694.28 million. TronWeekly also separately reported that Tron Inc. has expanded its TRX treasury beyond 723.5 million tokens after acquiring 159,606 TRX. It cited selling pressure around $0.31 and a bearish pennant formation; TRX is currently trading at $0.307951, down 1.17% over 24 hours and 3.83% over seven days. Market conditions provide a risk-off backdrop. The total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.28 trillion, Bitcoin is down 3.28% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index is at 10, labeled Extreme Fear. USDC remains close to its dollar peg at $0.999733, while DeFiLlama reports a verified circulating supply of $69.26 billion and the live market capitalization is $69.06 billion. Further adoption across Cosmos and dYdX, alongside INJ’s ability to regain momentum, are the relevant areas to monitor.
