$USDC

USDC (USD Coin) is a stable digital currency (Stablecoin) pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio, meaning that each unit of USDC is backed by one dollar or equivalent assets in reserve. It was launched in 2018 by Circle in collaboration with Coinbase, aiming to provide a reliable means of transferring value quickly and securely across blockchain networks such as Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and others. USDC is used in trading, remittances, decentralized finance (DeFi), and digital payments. It is characterized by transparency as its reserves are regularly audited by independent entities. USDC is considered one of the most reliable and widely used stablecoins globally.
