$USDC
USDC is like a "digital dollar" that you can use on the internet. It is a **stablecoin**, which means its value is always equal to that of one US dollar, so 1 USDC is always worth $1. This makes it very stable, unlike other cryptocurrencies that can have large price fluctuations.
It is issued by companies that guarantee having cash or bond reserves for every USDC in circulation, which provides security. You can use it to send money quickly anywhere in the world, make payments, or even hold it as a digital store of value without worrying about volatility. Being backed by the dollar, USDC is a safer entry point into the world of cryptocurrencies for beginners.
