  USDC, or USD Coin, is a stablecoin that is designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US dollar. It achieves this by being fully collateralized with US dollars held in reserve accounts. For every USDC token in circulation, there is an equivalent amount of US dollars held in reserve. This ensures that the value of USDC remains stable and closely tied to the US dollar.
