Squid Q3 2026

This quarter has brought new tokens, chains, and all-time-highs here at Squid. From the public sale and official launch of our native token, $QUID to record breaking monthly transaction numbers, Squid isn’t planning on slowing down anytime soon.

We hope you enjoy this recap of our Q3 (along with some hints for what comes next, at the end).

Squid Transactions Keep on Climbing

In July we had an ATH for monthly transactions on Squid, with 576k.

And just like that, August transactions almost surpassed those from July, with 498k making it our second highest month ever.

We’re nearly through September with 437k transactions and counting. Do you think we’ll have a new monthly record?

At the end of July, Squid reached 5m all-time-transactions. We’re now at 6.18m.

Squid Monthly Recap

July

Our Public Sale took place June 30 - July 3, 2026. It ended at $27m committed and 11.9x oversubscribed. With 3,542 participants and 78 countries represented.

Squid surpassed 1m transactions processed on Celo during this time!

We launched two official Telegram channels. One for community and one for official updates. You can join them below:

All of this was happening while we prepared for our new era.

August

$QUID launched August 4 on top CEXs, and available across top apps. Squid staking went live on stake.squidrouter.com and has a current APR of 80.8%, with no lockup.

By mid-August, there was 277m QUID volume since TGE, and by August 28th, volume reached 465m.

August was also a month of milestones! Squid has moved a total of $800m in and out of Celo since launch. Celo is the chain with the most transactions on Squid, reaching 1.5m transactions during August.

The highest volume chain on Squid is Ethereum, reaching $3b total volume during August as well!

September

September is still underway, with more exciting things to come (stay tuned)!

It’s been a great month so far at Squid. Coinbase tokenized stocks are now live on Squid at app.squidrouter.com/stocks

Squid added support for Canton and has been expanding connections across the entire ecosystem ever since. You can reach Canton from any asset and any chain with Squid, and start exploring 300+ apps building on the blockchain for institutional finance.

The releases don’t stop there! This month Squid was a day 1 launch partner for the Arc mainnet, bringing instant access to Circle’s new L1 and its growing ecosystem of apps.

And just last week, $QUID hit $500m in volume too.

What next?

The excitement is just beginning.

September brings the start of Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), and we can’t wait to see you there. Squid will be in Seoul for the whole week, celebrating new beginnings, meeting new friends, and welcoming $QUID holders into the family.

Check out our thread on X for all of the details, including where to find our booth (hint: it’s in the Upbit Zone) and information on our community events. Visit thread here to learn more.

But that’s not all…

There’s something else coming too. Something we’ve been waiting to show you. More details to come next week.

Being early is being lucky…

See you in Seoul ;)
