#Stablecoins #CryptoBasics #USDC
🔹 Pegged to the dollar 1:1
🔹 Issuer — Circle, regulated by US authorities
🔹 Fully backed by cash and short-term Treasury securities
🔹 Used in DeFi, CEX, NFT, GameFi, cross-chain payments
🧠 Unlike USDT, USDC aims to be as “transparent” as possible:
– Regular audits
– Partnership with BlackRock, Coinbase, Visa
– Supported on networks: Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and others
💡 Use cases:
– Storing stable capital
– Transfers without banks
– Earning through farming and staking
🔍 Interesting fact:
USDC is one of the main candidates for the role of “official cryptocurrency of the USA” if regulators eventually recognize stablecoins as the future digital dollar.
