$USDC

USD Coin (USDC) is a stablecoin, meaning its value is pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. Created by Circle and Coinbase, USDC is built on blockchain networks like Ethereum and others. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies, USDC offers stability, making it ideal for payments, savings, and trading. Each USDC token is backed by real assets, such as cash or short-term U.S. government bonds, held in regulated financial institutions. It enables fast, low-cost transactions globally, with transparency and regular audits to ensure trust. USDC is widely used in decentralized finance (DeFi), crypto exchanges, and digital wallets for seamless dollar-based transactions in the crypto space.
