USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin backed 1:1 by US dollars, issued by Circle, a regulated fintech in the U.S. Its purpose is to provide a stable, transparent, and secure form of digital money. Each USDC is backed by cash reserves or U.S. Treasury bonds, audited monthly. It is available on multiple blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon, facilitating fast and low-cost transfers. USDC is used in payments, DeFi, remittances, and global trade. Unlike other stablecoins, Circle operates with high regulatory standards, and its transparency has been key to its institutional adoption.
USDC represents a solid bridge between the traditional world and the crypto ecosystem.$USDC
