USD Coin (USDC) is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. It was launched in 2018 by Circle and is managed in collaboration with Coinbase under the Centre Consortium. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, USDC is designed to maintain a stable value, making it useful for payments, remittances, and trading.
USDC is fully backed by cash and short-term US government bonds, ensuring its stability. It operates on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and Arbitrum, increasing its usability across different DeFi platforms.
Many investors use USDC to hedge against market volatility, transfer funds quickly, or participate in yield farming in decentralized finance (DeFi). Since USDC is regulated and audited, it is considered one of the safest stablecoins.
As crypto adoption grows, USDC plays a vital role in bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology, providing a reliable digital alternative to fiat currency.
