💵🔐 USDC – The Trusted Digital Dollar 🔐💵
USDC (USD Coin) is a regulated, fully-reserved stablecoin that is pegged 1:1 to the U.S. Dollar 💲. It was launched by Centre Consortium, founded by Circle and Coinbase — two of the most respected names in the crypto industry 🏛️.
This digital dollar is backed by 100% cash and short-term U.S. Treasury securities held in regulated financial institutions 🏦. These reserves are subject to monthly third-party attestations 🧾 to ensure full transparency and trust. USDC is not an algorithmic stablecoin — it’s fully collateralized, meaning for every 1 USDC in circulation, there is $1 backing it in reserves 💯.
