Here’s the latest update on USD Coin (USDC) — the major dollar‑pegged stablecoin — as of mid‑December 2025:
💵 Price & Market Data
USDC remains reliably pegged to the U.S. dollar at about $0.9999–$1.00 USD, as expected for a stablecoin. It currently ranks around #6 by market cap (~$78+ billion) with large daily trading volumes in the billions — typical for institutional and retail use.
Market Snapshot (approx):
🔹 Price: ≈ $1.00
🔹 Market Cap: ~$78.4 B
🔹 24h Volume: ~$8.9 B+
🔹 Circulating Supply: ~78.4 B USDC
Because USDC is designed to stay at $1 by backing every token with real assets, price moves are very small and short‑term deviations are uncommon.
🏦 Institutional Adoption & Growth
Recent developments are broadly bullish for USDC’s utility and adoption:
📌 Institutional products & banking:
JPMorgan launched a $100M on‑chain money market fund that accepts USDC for subscriptions and pays yields on‑chain — a first for traditional finance integration.
Visa introduced a stablecoin advisory service focused on USDC to help banks and fintechs adopt compliant stablecoin solutions for payments.
Proof‑of‑reserves results from exchanges like MEXC show over‑collateralization, boosting confidence in liquidity and backing. These trends point to deeper integration with regulated financial tools and services.
Cross‑chain activity & infrastructure upgrades:
USDC is expanding cross‑chain capabilities via upgrades like CCTP V2, enabling faster, lower‑cost transfers across multiple blockchains.
Native issuance on platforms like Sonic Labs improves security and DeFi liquidity. These upgrades improve scalability and institutional appeal.
#BTCVSGOLD Analysts said they expect gold prices to rise past $5,000/oz in 2026, citing increased haven demand on growing uncertainty over fiscal health in the developed world. “The bullish case remains intact for gold and silver in H1 2026. Easing monetary policy, fiscal concerns, geopolitical risk and waning trust in US assets continue to support investment in real assets,” ANZ analysts said in a note. They noted that a deteriorating outlook for global growth, renewed global trade tensions, and concerns over the Fed’s independence, as Chair Jerome Powell’s term ends, all present a largely bullish outlook for gold. But they said that after a stellar price rally in 2025, gold’s pace of gains is likely to moderate in 2026, with gains seen in a range of 12% to 15%. It seems like gold could more competetive on investing goals that everyone suspected!!!
