$USDC
USDC (USD Coin) is a very popular stablecoin pegged to the value of the US dollar, issued by Centre, a consortium founded by Circle and Coinbase. Each USDC is backed by reserves in dollars or equivalent assets, ensuring stability and transparency.
In 2025, USDC continues to be one of the most used stablecoins for trading, payments, and DeFi applications, thanks to its reliability and regulatory compliance. Unlike some less regulated stablecoins, USDC is regularly subjected to third-party audits to ensure that each token is backed by real reserves.
The adoption of USDC has especially grown in decentralized finance platforms and centralized exchanges, offering a stable alternative in an often volatile crypto market. Additionally, USDC has expanded its use across multiple blockchains, enhancing interoperability and reducing transaction fees.
