$USDC USD Coin (USDC) is a stablecoin designed to maintain a constant value of $1 USD. Created by the Centre Consortium — a partnership between Coinbase and financial technology firm Circle — USDC is a type of cryptocurrency that bridges the gap between traditional fiat money and blockchain-based finance.

Stablecoin: USDC is among the good ones on the market, but it's not like cash or like a deposit in an insured bank. It comes with its own technological, legal, and credit risk. Not significant but just as a by-side, it is price-wise often a little less than 1 USD on the Nexo Platform.
