$USDC The USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin issued by Circle and Coinbase, pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. It is designed to provide the stability of the dollar while benefiting from the speed and transparency of blockchains, primarily Ethereum. Each USDC is backed by reserves in dollars or equivalent assets, regularly verified by audits. Used in DeFi, cross-border payments, or as a digital store of value, USDC is widely adopted for its reliability. It is also supported by institutional partnerships, making it one of the most regulated and secure stablecoins.
