$USDC
USD Coin (USDC) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, issued by Circle. It's fully backed by cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries, making it one of the most trusted stablecoins in the market. USDC is widely used for payments, trading, and DeFi across blockchains like Ethereum and Solana. Recently, U.S. lawmakers passed the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins, boosting USDC’s credibility. Circle’s IPO and Coinbase’s support have further strengthened adoption. With growing institutional use—like proposed futures collateral—USDC is positioning itself as a regulated, transparent, and reliable digital dollar in the evolving crypto economy.
