$USDC

USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, meaning each USDC is backed by a corresponding dollar or equivalent asset held in reserve. It was launched by Circle and Coinbase through the Centre Consortium. Built on blockchain networks like Ethereum, Solana, and others, USDC enables fast, low-cost, and transparent digital transactions. It’s widely used in crypto trading, DeFi, and cross-border payments. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies, USDC maintains price stability, making it ideal for saving or transacting without risk of value loss. Regular audits and regulatory compliance aim to build trust among users and financial institutions.
