About USD Coin

USD Coin (USDC) is a fully-reserved, dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Circle. USDC is regulated under US money transmitter laws and undergoes monthly reserve attestations by a Big Four accounting firm. Each USDC token is backed 1:1 by cash and short-dated US Treasury bills held in segregated accounts. It is widely used in DeFi, institutional payments, and cross-border settlements. Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) enables native USDC transfers across supported chains without bridging. USDC is the stablecoin of choice for regulated financial institutions and is integrated into payment platforms like Visa and Stripe.
