$USDC

#USDC Trading Pairs

$USDC is revolutionizing the stablecoin landscape! Three core advantages establish its position as the 'foundation of risk-free yield':

Institutional-level compliance moat

- 100% cash/Treasury reserve: Audited reserves reached $148 billion by Q2 2025, enjoying exemptions under the 'Payment Stablecoin Act'

- Daily trading volume of $64.2 billion accounts for 65% of the compliant stablecoin market, preferred for cross-border settlements by giants like BlackRock and Visa

DeFi Yield Revolution

- On-chain real yield explosion:

▶️ Aave V3 USDC pool APY reaches 5.8% (Federal Reserve rate 4.25% + protocol premium)

▶️ After the Curve Wars upgrade, USDC/DAI pool APY soars to 7.3%, with no impermanent loss risk

Global Liquidity Engine

- Cross-chain dominance: Covers 12 chains including Ethereum/Solana, with bridging speed <3 seconds (8 times faster than USDT)

- Crisis safe haven: During the volatility of U.S. Treasuries in March 2025, USDC saw a net inflow of $3.7 billion in a single day on-chain, with a premium of 0.15%

Ultimate Formula:

USDC Real Yield = Benchmark Rate + DeFi Premium - On-chain Friction Cost
