What is

USDC

?

USD Coin (USDC) is a fully-backed, stable digital dollar designed to maintain a 1:1 value ratio with the US dollar. It is a stablecoin that offers the benefits of blockchain technology, including fast, secure, and cost-effective transactions. USDC is backed by liquid cash and cash-equivalent assets, with reserves held at regulated financial institutions and independently attested monthly. This ensures that each USDC can be redeemed for a US dollar at any time, offering reliability and stability in the world of digital currencies. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies, USDC provides a stable store of value, making it ideal for businesses and individuals seeking a consistent digital asset for global payments and financial transactions.
