What to make of it
Treat the $24 billion total, the 560.8% growth figure, and USDC's 38.2% share as consistently reported; the attribution of the specific $9.2 billion figure—to USDC's deposit share or to combined Aave v3/v4 holdings—is unresolved pending the original Token Terminal data breakdown.
