USD Coin(USDC) is a cryptocurrency known as a stablecoin. It was launched in 2018 by CENTRE Consortium, a collaboration between Circle and Coinbase. USDC maintains a 1:1 value ratio with the US dollar, bridging the gap between traditional fiat currencies and digital currencies by keeping its value steady and tied to the US dollar. At all times, it is fully backed by corresponding dollar reserves, ensuring that every USDC circulated in the market has an equivalent US dollar in the reserve. This helps maintain its value stability and reduce the risk of price volatility.
What are the benefits of a USDC crypto account?
Stability for P2P transfers
Since USDC is tied to US dollar, it doesn’t go through drastic price swings like other cryptocurrencies. Thus making the crypto account a safe option for people looking for a stable blockchain payment and is one of the foremost advantages against other cryptocurrencies.
Accessible and transparent
USDC is not bound by banking hours or limitations and is accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Since USDC operates on blockchain technology, it also offers transparency and security tied to the technology. Each transaction is traceable, immutable, and secure.
Fast and low fees
Due to the blockchain payment technology underlying USDC, it is significantly faster and cheaper than traditional wire transfer or money remittance services. Transaction happens within minutes, sometimes even in seconds rather than days in traditional methods.
