> 10B in cash was spread over 6 banks to diversify the bank risk

This is nonsense Treasury management. Fidelity spreads checking account deposits across twenty-six banks to reach $3mm FDIC coverage [1]. Beyond sweep, Circle’s assets should be in short-term, on-the-run Treasuries, repos and commercial paper.

They do hold 32B in short term treasury bills though

These funds appear to be specifically for short term redemptions, if they turn over 3B in redemption's every 7 days then how are they meant to keep less then that in the banks
