A $USDC pair refers to a trading pair that includes USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. These pairs, such as BTC/USDC or ETH/USDC, allow users to trade cryptocurrencies against USDC on exchanges. Since USDC maintains a stable value, it offers a lower-risk option for traders to hedge against volatility. It is widely used in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, centralized exchanges, and for cross-border payments. The stability and transparency of USDC, backed by audited reserves, make it a preferred choice for those seeking dollar-equivalent liquidity without relying on traditional banking systems.
