$USDC

As a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the USD, it has become one of my favorite crypto assets when planning digital financial strategies. In the past few weeks, I have used $USDC as a protective asset during very volatile crypto markets. Its stability has also greatly assisted me in executing my DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) strategy towards several altcoins like ETH and BNB. Additionally, many DeFi platforms offer competitive passive interest for users who stake or lend $USDC. Compared to other stablecoins, I feel that the audit transparency and regulatory support from Circle provide a greater sense of security in holding $USDC in my portfolio.
