$USDC

Recently, technology giants such as Apple, Google, X, and Airbnb are actively exploring the application of stablecoins and engaging with crypto companies, aiming to reduce transaction costs and optimize cross-border payment processes. Stablecoins, due to their price stability characteristics, are seen as a breakthrough for blockchain technology's entry into mainstream finance. The implementation of Hong Kong's 'Stablecoin Regulation' and the EU's 'Crypto Assets Market Act' provides regulatory support for the development of stablecoins. However, technology giants face challenges in choosing compliant stablecoins, such as Tether's compliance risks and the uncertainty surrounding USDC's issuer. The entry of technology giants may further mature the stablecoin market and accelerate the integrated development of financial technology and digital assets.
