$USDC a very important role in managing both risk and liquidity. Whenever I complete a trade and take profit, I immediately convert a portion of the earnings into USDC. This helps me to lock in the value and protect it from the extreme volatility of the crypto market. One of the reasons I prefer USDC over other stablecoins is because it is fully backed by U.S. dollars and audited monthly, making it highly trustworthy. I also use USDC for participating in DeFi protocols where I lend it to earn passive income. It provides great flexibility when switching between trading pairs, especially in bear markets. Holding a stable asset like USDC gives me peace of mind and better control over my portfolio.
