$USDC

A USDC/BTC trading pair allows users to exchange Bitcoin (BTC) for USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. This pair is popular on crypto exchanges (e.g., Binance, Coinbase) as it enables traders to hedge against Bitcoin’s volatility by converting gains into a stable asset. USDC’s liquidity and regulatory compliance (issued by Circle and Coinbase) make it a trusted counterpart to BTC. Traders use this pair to lock in profits, reduce risk during market swings, or arbitrage price differences between platforms. Unlike fiat pairs, USDC/BTC operates 24/7, bypassing traditional banking hours. High liquidity ensures tighter spreads, minimizing slippage. The pair also facilitates seamless transitions between crypto volatility and stability without exiting the crypto ecosystem.
