The core differences between #科技巨头入场稳定币 USDC and other mainstream stablecoins (such as USDT, DAI, etc.) are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Issuer and backing method

- USDC: Issued by compliant institutions such as Circle and Coinbase, claims to be fully backed 1:1 by USD reserves, short-term government bonds, and other assets, regularly undergoes independent audits, and has high transparency.

​

- USDT (Tether): Issued by Tether, the transparency of backing assets was questionable in the early days (some reserve composition has been gradually disclosed in recent years) and has been criticized for "over-issuance."

​

- DAI: A decentralized stablecoin, generated based on collateral on the Ethereum chain (such as collateralized ETH and other crypto assets), pegged to the US dollar, with no direct backing by real assets.
