$USDC
USD Coin (USDC) is a digital stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, meaning each USDC token is backed 1:1 by a corresponding dollar held in reserve. Issued by regulated financial institutions such as Circle and Coinbase through the Centre consortium, USDC offers a secure, transparent, and efficient means of transferring value on blockchain networks. It operates across multiple platforms like Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon, enabling fast, low-cost global transactions. Popular in decentralized finance (DeFi), USDC is widely used for trading, lending, and saving. Its stability and regulatory compliance make it a trusted bridge between traditional finance and the crypto world.
