FAQ
USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin designed to maintain a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar, aiming to provide stability in the cryptocurrency market. Each USDC token is backed by reserves consisting of cash and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. Introduced in 2018 by the Centre Consortium, a collaboration between Circle and regulated financial institutions, USDC seeks to bridge traditional finance with blockchain technology. It is widely used for transactions, decentralized finance (DeFi), and digital payments across multiple blockchain networks.
USDC operates as a stablecoin primarily issued as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, ensuring compatibility with Ethereum-based applications. Each USDC in circulation corresponds to a U.S. dollar held in reserve, with new tokens minted as users exchange fiat currency for USDC through verified platforms. To maintain transparency, independent accounting firms regularly audit reserves, ensuring that the total USDC supply aligns with the corresponding reserve value. This system is designed to support price stability and reduce volatility.

Market Bytes: Circle’s post-IPO performance shows market demand is high
Last month, USDC issuer Circle debuted on public markets with one of the year’s biggest IPOs, raising more than $1.1 billion as the stock spiked from $31 to as high as $292 before correcting slightly to around $182 this week. (Disclosure: Coinbase has an equity stake in Circle.)
This week, analysts from a wide range of firms (including Barclays, Bernstein, and Needham) issued “buy” ratings for the stock, a signal that there could be pent-up demand among investors for exposure to the stablecoin sector. Currently, Circle is the only publicly traded stablecoin firm in the U.S.
"CRCL is building a market-leading digital dollar stablecoin network, with a strong regulatory edge, liquidity headstart and marquee distribution partnerships. This is hard to replicate, in our view," Bernstein analysts said in a note.
