What is USDC?

USD Coin (USDC) is a fully collateralised stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. Issued by regulated financial institutions and backed by cash and short-term US treasuries, USDC combines the trust of traditional finance with the speed of blockchain technology.

Why USDC Matters

Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, USDC is designed for price stability and everyday use. Its advantages include:

• Reliability: Backed by audited reserves held with regulated US institutions.
• Stability: Maintains a 1:1 peg with the US Dollar.
• Speed & Cost: Transactions settle quickly and cheaply across major blockchains.
• Utility: Widely used in payments, DeFi, and as a safe on/off-ramp between fiat and crypto.

This makes USDC one of the most trusted and widely adopted stablecoins globally.
