$USDC USD coin was first announced in May 2018 and launched in September of the same year by Centre – a joint venture between peer-to-peer (P2P) payment service provider Circle and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. Like other stablecoins, USDC was created to serve as a safe investment asset, less volatile compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, and as a medium of exchange between fiat currency and cryptocurrency.🚀🚀🚀
