USDC Descrição

USDC, or USD Coin, is a type of stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, designed to maintain a 1:1 value ratio with the USD. This digital currency was launched in 2018 by Centre, a collaboration between Circle and Coinbase. As a stablecoin, USDC provides a less volatile alternative to other cryptocurrencies, ensuring stability and reliability for transactions and savings. Initially released on the Ethereum network as an ERC-20 token, USDC has expanded to support other blockchains such as Solana, Algorand, and more, enhancing its interoperability within the digital ecosystem.
