USDC (USD Coin) is a fully-backed, regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. Issued by Circle and supported by Coinbase, it’s designed for price stability, fast transactions, and transparency. Every USDC in circulation is backed by cash or short-term U.S. Treasuries, with monthly reserve audits ensuring trust and compliance.
USDC has become a vital part of the crypto economy — powering DeFi apps, remittances, cross-border payments, and on-chain commerce. Unlike algorithmic stablecoins, USDC maintains its peg through strict regulatory adherence, making it a go-to asset during times of market volatility.
