$USDC

#USD Coin (USDC) is a fully-backed, dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by regulated financial institutions. It’s designed to maintain a 1:1 value with the U.S. dollar, offering a stable digital asset for payments, trading, and decentralized finance (DeFi). Launched by Circle and Coinbase through the Centre consortium, USDC runs on multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche. It is regularly audited for transparency and backed by cash and short-term U.S. government bonds. USDC enables fast, borderless transactions and is widely used in crypto ecosystems, offering a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain-based applications without the volatility of typical cryptocurrencies.
