$USDC

USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, meaning 1 USDC is intended to always be worth 1 US Dollar. This stability makes it a popular "coin pair" for trading in the volatile crypto market.

When you see a "coin pair" like BTC/USDC, it means you can trade Bitcoin (BTC) for USDC. USDC acts as the quote currency, allowing traders to easily value other cryptocurrencies in a stable, dollar-equivalent unit.

Common USDC trading pairs include:
