#StablecoinPayments is an alternative to usdt. Last big alternative was fdusd from first digital was hyped on Binance with zero fee trading pairs and other campaigns.
While first digital table coin fdusd didn't hold usdc which is older is gaining tracktion with EU ban on usdt.
Although usdt seems solid there are lots of parts in shadows. Audits of usdt didn't came out negative but neither did it convince verybody 100%.
As for me, I am mostly in altcoins but when I sell I consider usdc too
