    USDC, also known as USD Coin, is a stablecoin that was created by Circle and Coinbase. It is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain. USDC is backed by a reserve of US dollars held in regulated financial institutions, which ensures its stability and redeemability. The main purpose of USDC is to provide a digital representation of the US dollar that can be easily transferred and used in the cryptocurrency market. It offers the benefits of blockchain technology, such as fast and secure transactions, while maintaining a stable value. USDC can be used for various applications, including trading, remittances, and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.
