#AirdropSafetyGuide USD Coin (USDC) is a type of stablecoin, a digital currency pegged to the U.S. dollar on a 1:1 basis. It was launched by Circle and Coinbase under the Centre consortium. USDC operates on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche. Every USDC in circulation is backed by an equivalent amount of U.S. dollar reserves, regularly audited to ensure transparency. Its primary use cases include trading, remittances, decentralized finance (DeFi), and payments. USDC combines the stability of fiat with the speed and accessibility of blockchain, making it a reliable choice for both individuals and institutions in the crypto economy.
