#USDC ๐ What is USDC?
USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar.
Each unit of USDC is designed to be worth $1.00, backed by reserves in cash and high liquidity assets.
It was launched in 2018 by the Centre Consortium (founded by Circle and Coinbase).
โ๏ธ How it works
For each USDC issued, there is 1 dollar or an equivalent asset in reserve.
It is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network, but it also works on various blockchains (Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, etc.).
Used for payments, international transfers, DeFi, and trading on exchanges.
โ Advantages
Stability: pegged to the dollar, avoiding the typical volatility of cryptocurrencies.
Transparency: Circle publishes audit reports of the reserves.
Speed and low cost compared to traditional bank transfers.
Widely accepted on DeFi platforms, brokerages, and fintechs.
โ ๏ธ Risks and points of attention
Dependence on reserves: trust in Circle and the auditors.
Regulation: may be impacted by government policies in the US.
Decoupling (depeg): in March 2023, it was worth ~ $0.88 due to reserves stuck at Silicon Valley Bank, but it returned to $1.
๐ Current status (September/2025)
One of the leading stablecoins in the market, alongside USDT (Tether).
Market cap in the tens of billions of dollars.
Strong presence in digital payments and the DeFi ecosystem.

You can buy USDC using BRL directly on Binance.
The most common ways are:

The price is always close to R$ 1 = $1 (plus the dollar exchange rate and fees).
