In a nutshell, the quirky thing and the main difference between them is:
USDT: the most popular and widely used in trading (massive liquidity), but it always faces question marks about the transparency of its financial backing and legal issues.
USDC: less widespread compared to USDT, but it's the most secure and compliant, subjected to strict monthly audits and oversight in the U.S.
Bottom line: traders prefer USDT for speed and liquidity, while corporations and investors lean towards USDC for legal safety.
