$USDC

USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, designed for fast, borderless digital transactions. It’s issued by Circle and backed by fully reserved U.S. dollar assets, with regular audits to ensure transparency. Traders use USDC to hedge against volatility, move funds quickly between exchanges, or interact with DeFi apps without converting to fiat. Unlike some stablecoins, USDC is regulated and aims to meet high compliance standards. It’s available on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. For many, USDC offers the convenience of crypto with the stability of the U.S. dollar—making it widely trusted.
