The stablecoin was trading at $0.99 as of 7:37 pm ET on Sunday after losing its peg on Friday after its issuer Circle announced that it had $3.3 billion of USDC reserves stuck at SVB.

Circle Chief executive Jeremy Allaire said on Twitter that «100% of deposits from SVB are secure and will be available at banking open tomorrow.»
