$USDC

USD Coin (USDC) is a leading stablecoin issued by Circle and Coinbase, designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the U.S. dollar. As of May 2025, USDC’s supply has surged to nearly $61 billion, reflecting strong demand from both retail and institutional users. Its transparent reserve model-backed by cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries-ensures full backing and regular attestations by independent auditors, boosting user trust. USDC operates across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon, making it highly versatile for payments, DeFi, and cross-border transactions. Regulatory compliance has fueled its adoption, especially after Circle became the first stablecoin issuer to comply with the EU’s MiCA regulation. USDC’s stability, transparency, and global reach position it as a foundational asset in the evolving crypto landscape
