$USDC

USDC (USD Coin) is a regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, designed to combine the stability of traditional currency with the efficiency of blockchain technology. Launched in 2018 by Circle and Coinbase through the Centre Consortium, each USDC token is backed by dollar-denominated reserves held in regulated financial institutions, ensuring transparency through monthly audits by independent third parties. As an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, it also operates across multiple blockchains like Solana and Algorand, enabling fast, low-cost transactions. Widely used in crypto trading and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, USDC provides a reliable medium for trading, lending, and earning interest without exposure to volatility. Its trustworthiness and interoperability make it a cornerstone of the digital economy.#USDC
