How quickly do stablecoin issuers publish attestations after month-end?

Stablecoin issuers tracked by ReserveBeat published their reserve reports 21 to 32 days after the date the reports cover, across 58 reports with a recorded issue date. Six July 2026 monthly reports landed between August 25 and August 28. This measures publication timing only; it is not a solvency judgment.

By ReserveBeat

This post measures one property of the reports behind the coverage board: how many days pass between the date a report covers and the date the issuer's document carries. Every date below is the document's own, read from the reports ReserveBeat has captured for the seven tracked stablecoins. Nothing here is a judgment of any issuer's solvency.

The short answer

Across the 58 reports on file with a recorded issue date, the gap runs from 21 to 32 days. The shortest gaps are 21 days: Circle's November 2024 and November 2025 USDC reports and the November 2025 RLUSD report. The longest is 32 days: Circle's August 2025 USDC report, which covers 2025-08-29 and is dated 2025-09-30. One report on file, USD1's April 2026 report, has no issue date in ReserveBeat's parsed record (the parser did not extract one from the document), so it is left out of the ranges below.

July 2026: six monthly reports in four days

The six monthly series all covered 2026-07-31, and all six documents are dated within four days of each other:

  • PYUSD, 2026-08-25 (25 days);
  • USDG, 2026-08-26 (26 days);
  • RLUSD, USD1 and USDC, 2026-08-27 (27 days);
  • USDtb, 2026-08-28 (28 days).

The attestation calendar lists each report on file on the date its document carries, and each report has its own page, such as USDC 2026-07.

Month-end is not always the last day of the month

Lag is measured from the date the report states, not from the calendar month-end. The two are not always the same. For May 2026, the USDC, PYUSD, RLUSD and USDG reports cover 2026-05-29, a Friday. The USD1 and USDtb reports cover 2026-05-31.

Some reports carry two as-of dates

Five of the July 2026 reports (PYUSD, RLUSD, USD1, USDC and USDG) each state two as-of dates: one earlier in July and the month-end date. USDC's, for example, carries 2026-07-08 and 2026-07-31. ReserveBeat measures lag from the later of the two.

The quarterly series

The Tether reports on file are quarterly, and their stated scope is a consolidated group rather than one token. The March 2026 report covers 2026-03-31 and is dated 2026-04-30 (30 days). The June 2026 report covers 2026-06-30 and is dated 2026-07-31 (31 days).

Reading the same dates yourself

Every date in this post is stored with its report, and the keyless API returns the same dates. GET /v1/board/attestations lists every report on file with its composition_as_of and issued_on, and GET /v1/board/coverage gives each token's publication_lag_days with the basis it was measured on (lag_basis). The methodology covers how a report is captured before it is parsed.

What this does not measure

Publication lag is a fact about a document's date. It says nothing about the reserves the document describes, or about the days between two reports. It also does not measure when ReserveBeat captured a report, which is a separate figure about ReserveBeat's own pipeline.

Frequently asked questions

How is publication lag measured here?

As the days between the latest as-of date a report states and the issue date the document itself carries. Both dates come from the captured report; nothing is estimated. A report with no recorded issue date is left out rather than given a guessed date.

Does a longer lag mean anything about an issuer's reserves?

No. Lag is a fact about when a document was published. It says nothing about the reserves the document describes, about the days between reports, or about any issuer's solvency.

Why is Tether's lag compared separately?

The Tether reports on file are quarterly and cover a consolidated group rather than one token. Their lag is measured the same way, but a quarterly cadence and a monthly cadence answer different questions, so the two are not ranked against each other.
