TronWeekly reports that Ondo Perps increased its weekly USDC rewards to $280,000 for November 10-16. The allocation covers three pools: $125,000 for liquidity, $125,000 for volume and $30,000 for open interest. The program is available to eligible traders globally.

The 12% increase is intended to reward tighter quoting, active trading and the maintenance of positions in tokenized perpetual markets. Liquidity and volume account for $250,000 of the total incentive, while open interest makes up the remaining $30,000.

TronWeekly is the only outlet supplying coverage of the reward schedule, and no second outlet was available to corroborate its allocation or the reported increase. The cited figures therefore come from a single source, while independently verified on-chain data separately places USDC’s circulating supply at $70.26 billion.
