$USDC
USD Coin (USDC) is a fully-backed, regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. Issued by Circle and governed by the Centre Consortium, USDC offers stability, transparency, and trust within the crypto ecosystem. It is widely used for trading, remittances, DeFi, and as a digital dollar alternative. Each USDC is backed by equivalent cash or short-term U.S. Treasury assets, with monthly audits ensuring reserve integrity. Available on multiple blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche, USDC provides fast, low-cost transactions. As regulatory scrutiny increases globally, USDC remains a leading example of compliant, reliable stablecoin infrastructure for institutional and retail users alike.
