$USDC USDC: The Stable Force in the Cryptocurrency Market
In the cryptocurrency market, USDC (USD Coin) is a prominent presence. It is an open-source cryptocurrency stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, co-launched by Circle and Coinbase, with each USDC backed by a corresponding US dollar held in a regulated account.
Its advantages are clear: strong stability, not significantly affected by major fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market; high liquidity, widely traded on mainstream exchanges; and good usability, applicable for various cryptocurrency transactions and payments. However, it also faces challenges, including centralization issues and significant impacts from regulatory changes. Recently, it received approval in Japan, with a market capitalization of $56 billion, and it may play an even greater role in areas such as payments in the future.
