USD Coin USDC

On 2025-03-08 the current USD Coin price/exchange rate is 0.924182 EUR.

The USD coin (USDC) is one of the largest stablecoins in the cryptocurrency market. 

The value of the USD coin is pegged to the value of $1 dollar in a ratio of 1:1 (the same concept Tether uses).

This is why the value of the USDC coin is always around $1 and it can’t reach a higher value, which is why it is not an investment asset.

People use USD coins to protect the value of their crypto portfolio in times of high market volatility.

USDC coin doesn’t have its own blockchain. 

It is a coin based on the ERC-20 protocol. 

Smart contracts based on the ERC-20 protocol ensure the issuing and redemption of USDC coins.

At the time of writing, there are 24,731,088,681 USDC coins in circulation. 

The maximum amount of USDC coins in circulation is not specified.

Thanks to ERC-20 smart contracts, you can instantly convert all USDC coins into fiat currencies and vice versa.

Thanks to stablecoins like the USDC, you can easily store your fiat currencies in the blockchain and send them anywhere in the world. 

Transactions in the USDC are fast and most importantly the fees are very low.

If the cryptocurrency market is going through high volatility, the USDC and other stablecoins are great tools for preserving the value of the portfolio.

USDC can also be used as a means of payment on various applications, exchanges, exchange offices, and blockchain games.

USD coin is a stablecoin, it doesn’t have its own blockchain network, which means it can’t be mined. 

On the other hand, a USD coin is not created out of thin air. If someone wants to buy USDC it has to convert fiat currency into USDC. 

A user sends USD to the bank account of the token issuer. 

The issuer creates an identical quantity of USDC using a USDC smart contract. 

The user receives the freshly issued USDC, but the replaced US dollars are retained in reserve.

CENTRE consortium is the company that established the USD coin. 

The consortium consists of two companies, Circle - a payment services company, and Coinbase - a cryptocurrency exchange platform.
