#交易流动性 USDC's core differences with other mainstream stablecoins (such as USDT, DAI, etc.) are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Issuing entities and backing methods
- USDC: Issued by compliant institutions like 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, early transparency of backing assets was questionable (has gradually disclosed part of the reserve composition in recent years), and was once criticized for 'over-issuing'.
- DAI: A decentralized stablecoin generated based on collateral on the Ethereum chain (such as collateralizing ETH and other crypto assets), pegged to the US dollar, with no direct backing by real assets.
