$USDC
USD Coin (USDC) is a regulated, fully-backed stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, developed by Circle and Coinbase. Each USDC token is backed 1:1 by cash or cash-equivalent reserves, ensuring transparency and stability. USDC is widely used for payments, remittances, trading, and decentralized finance (DeFi) due to its low volatility and fast transaction times. It operates on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon, enabling broad accessibility. Regular audits and compliance with U.S. financial regulations increase trust among users. As digital finance grows, USDC plays a key role in bridging traditional finance with the blockchain-powered digital economy.
