$USDC

The USDC currency is a cryptocurrency known as a "stablecoin," meaning its value is directly tied to the US dollar. USDC was launched in 2018 by **Circle** in collaboration with the **Coinbase** platform, aiming to provide a secure and stable digital currency that can be used in digital trading, financial transfers, and electronic payments.

USDC is characterized by being backed 1:1 by the US dollar, meaning that each USDC coin corresponds to one US dollar held in banks. This gives users great confidence in its price stability, unlike other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which can fluctuate significantly in value.

USDC is widely used on digital trading platforms and can be easily and quickly transferred between individuals around the world without the need for an intermediary or bank. It also allows users to benefit from the advantages of cryptocurrencies, such as fast transfers and low costs, while maintaining value stability.

Thanks to these features, USDC has become one of the most popular stablecoins in the digital world, playing an important role in the modern digital economy and in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi).
