$USDC

In recent trades, I’ve actively used $USDC as a strategic tool. Rather than holding idle fiat, I park 15–20% of my portfolio in USDC, earning yield from stablecoin-native protocols and staying ready to react. During market dips, this allocation lets me deploy quickly—like entering ETH at $3.18K when BTC dipped below $65K. I also engage in USDC using DeFi platforms for lending and liquidity, generating passive income until volatility increases. This approach strikes a balance between capital preservation and opportunity readiness, ensuring I’m never fully out of the market and can swiftly capitalize on favorable entry points or market dislocations.
