USDC is one of the stablecoins I use the most to protect my profits or hold value until I find a good entry point. Compared to USDT, USDC has a strong reputation for transparency and reserve auditing. Additionally, on platforms like Binance, I can use the USDC/USDT pair to scalp or even for Earn. Whenever I sell a memecoin with profit, I usually convert it to USDC while I analyze the market. It's a way to maintain value in dollars, but with more security and flexibility for future operations.
