$USDC

A coin pair involving $USDC, such as USDC/BTC or USDC/ETH, represents the trading value between USD Coin—a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar—and another cryptocurrency. These pairs are widely used by traders seeking stability during market volatility. Since USDC maintains a 1:1 value with the dollar, it serves as a reliable medium for storing value, executing trades, and managing risk. Trading with USDC pairs allows users to move in and out of volatile crypto assets without converting to fiat. As stablecoins gain traction in decentralized finance (DeFi), USDC pairs play a vital role in liquidity, lending, and cross-border transactions.
