$USDC

USD Coin (USDC) is a stablecoin designed to maintain a constant value of $1 USD. 

Created by the Centre Consortium — a partnership between Coinbase and financial technology firm Circle — USDC is a type of cryptocurrency that bridges the gap between traditional fiat money and blockchain-based finance. As a fiat-backed stablecoin, each USDC is pegged to the U.S. dollar, offering stability and trust in a notoriously volatile crypto landscape.

Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, which can fluctuate wildly, USDC is designed for predictability. That makes it an ideal option for payments, decentralized finance (DeFi), and reducing risk during crypto market swings.
