$USDC : Expanding and Regulating Leading Stablecoin

USDC, a dollar-backed stablecoin at a 1:1 ratio, confirms its position as the leading choice among institutions. Its market capitalization has surpassed 61 billion dollars, representing nearly 30% of the total stablecoin market.

The recent IPO of Circle (CRCL) has bolstered confidence: its price surged nearly 168% on the first day, demonstrating investors' appetite for the regulated stablecoin. Meanwhile, the passage of the GENIUS Act regulatory framework by the US Senate now establishes a clear framework for stablecoins, further enhancing the credibility of USDC.

From a technological perspective, USDC is already deployed on 21 blockchains, from Ethereum to Solana, Arbitrum, Base... offering maximum interoperability. This spread, coupled with adoption by giants like Shopify (USDC payments expected this year), strengthens its role as a bridge between traditional finance and Web3.
