$USDC
A **\$COIN/USDC pair** allows you to trade a cryptocurrency (like ETH, BTC, or SOL) against **USDC**, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. This means you can **buy \$COIN using USDC**, or **sell \$COIN to receive USDC**. Using USDC pairs helps avoid the volatility of crypto-to-crypto trades, offers more stable pricing, and allows faster, cheaper transactions—especially on supported blockchains. Since USDC maintains a 1:1 value with USD, it’s popular for trading, holding, and transferring funds without exiting the crypto ecosystem. Most major exchanges support \$COIN/USDC pairs, making them a convenient choice for stable and efficient trading.
