$USDC
As of May 8, 2025, USD Coin (USDC) is trading at approximately $1.00 USD, maintaining its peg to the U.S. dollar.
USDC is a fully collateralized stablecoin issued by Circle, designed to maintain a 1:1 value with the U.S. dollar. Its reserves are held in cash and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, managed by regulated financial institutions like The Bank of New York Mellon and overseen by BlackRock via the Circle Reserve Fund. Circle ensures transparency through monthly audits conducted by Deloitte.
Recently, a significant minting of 250 million USDC occurred, indicating a potential surge in crypto market liquidity. Such large USDC mints are often associated with institutional inflows or anticipated trading demand, which can lead to increased volatility and potential price movements in leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
