$USDC

USD Coin (USDC) is a regulated, fully-backed stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. Issued by Circle and governed by Centre, USDC offers a reliable bridge between traditional finance and blockchain technology. It's widely used for payments, trading, and decentralized finance (DeFi) due to its stability and transparency. Each USDC token is backed by equivalent cash or short-term U.S. government securities, with reserves regularly audited by third parties. USDC operates across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. Its fast, low-cost transactions and regulatory compliance make it a trusted digital dollar for both individuals and institutions in the crypto ecosystem.
