What is USDC?

USDC (USD Coin) is a digital stablecoin that is pegged to the United States dollar. For every USDC in circulation, there is one US dollar held in reserve, making it a fully-backed and transparent cryptocurrency.

How Does USDC Work?

USDC operates on multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum, Solana, and Base. When you hold USDC, you’re holding a digital representation of US dollars that can be:

Sent instantly to anyone in the world
Converted to local currencies
Used for payments without traditional banking fees
Stored securely in digital wallets
