$USDC

$USDC Polkadot (DOT) and Tether (USDT) represent contrasting roles in the crypto ecosystem. DOT, Polkadot’s native token, powers a blockchain protocol enabling interoperability among blockchains, with recent upgrades like Elastic Scaling boosting its appeal. Its price, around $4.18, faces market volatility but shows bullish potential. USDT, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, dominates with a $153 billion market cap, recently surpassing Ethereum in circulation on TRON ($73.8B). Despite regulatory scrutiny, like the GENIUS Act mandating 100% reserves, USDT’s stability and liquidity make it a key player. Together, they highlight blockchain’s diverse applications.
