$USDC
USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. Dollar, offering a 1:1 value ratio with the dollar. It is an ERC-20 token, based on the Ethereum blockchain, and is widely used in cryptocurrency markets for trading, saving, and transferring funds without the volatility typically seen in other cryptocurrencies. USDC provides users with a stable digital asset that can be easily converted to fiat currencies. It is governed by the Centre Consortium, founded by Circle and Coinbase. USDC is increasingly popular in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and cross-border payments.
