*USDC — one of the leading stablecoins in the crypto market, backed by real dollar reserves.*
Issued by Circle in partnership with Coinbase as part of the Centre consortium. Each USDC token is pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio and fully backed by liquid assets — bank deposits and short-term government bonds.
The main advantages of USDC are transparency, regular audits, a high degree of regulation, and trust from institutional players. Unlike some competitors, Circle provides asset reports that comply with U.S. financial reporting standards.
USDC is widely used in DeFi, trading, cross-border payments, and hedging against the volatility of crypto assets. It is not just a stablecoin — it is an infrastructural element of the digital economy.
