What is USDC (USDC)?
USD Coin (USDC) is a US dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Circle, a US-based financial technology company regulated as a money services business. It was originally launched in 2018 through the Centre Consortium, a joint venture between Circle and Coinbase that set technical and reserve standards for the token. Coinbase dissolved its formal involvement in the Centre Consortium in 2023, leaving Circle as the sole issuer, though the two companies remain commercial partners. Each USDC token is designed to be redeemable one-for-one for one US dollar.
Circle backs USDC primarily with cash and short-duration US Treasury securities held in segregated accounts at regulated US financial institutions, including custodians such as Bank of New York Mellon. It publishes monthly attestations from Grant Thornton confirming the reserve balances, making it one of the more transparent stablecoins in terms of regular third-party confirmation. This regulatory posture and reserve transparency have made USDC a preferred stablecoin for institutional users, DeFi protocols that want a compliant dollar asset, and applications in cross-border payments.
USDC runs on many blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche and others. Its integration into Coinbase's consumer products and the Base layer-2 chain has given it particular prominence in the US retail market. In March 2023, when Silicon Valley Bank failed and US regulators moved in over a weekend, a portion of Circle's reserves was held at SVB. USDC briefly fell as low as approximately $0.87 on secondary markets before recovering after it became clear the reserves would be made whole. The episode illustrated that even a well-managed stablecoin with transparent reserves carries bank counterparty risk.
A peg is a target, not a guarantee. Holding USDC exposes the holder to Circle's issuer risk, the solvency of the banks holding its reserves, and smart-contract risk on whichever chain the tokens are stored. The prediction model on this page is not meaningful for USDC in the same way as for volatile assets. This page is information only and is not financial advice; always do your own research.

Where to buy USDC (USDC)
Affiliate disclosure: some links below may be partner links. If you open an account through them, TheWeal may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects which exchanges we list or what we write. See our affiliate disclosure. Nothing here is financial advice – do your own research.
Always confirm an exchange operates legally in your country and supports USDC before signing up. Crypto is volatile and largely unregulated; never invest more than you can afford to lose.
How to store USDC
USDC can be held on a regulated exchange or in a self-custody wallet on the chain where you hold it (Ethereum, Solana, Base, etc.). For large balances a hardware wallet reduces custody risk. Holding USDC in self-custody still exposes you to Circle's issuer risk and the reserve banks.
Your recovery phrase is the master backup for any self-custody wallet — store it offline and never share it. This is general information, not financial advice.

USDC (USDC) FAQ
Is USDC safe to hold?
We don't give investment recommendations. USDC carries counterparty risk to Circle and its banking partners, plus smart-contract risk. A peg is a target, not a guarantee. Do your own research.
How is USDC backed?
Circle claims to hold reserves in cash and short-duration US Treasury securities in regulated US bank accounts. Monthly attestations from an independent accounting firm are published on Circle's website.
What happened when USDC depegged in 2023?
When Silicon Valley Bank failed in March 2023, part of Circle's reserves were held there. USDC briefly traded below $1 on secondary markets before recovering after US regulators intervened. The peg was restored, but the episode illustrated that even regulated stablecoins carry bank counterparty risk.
Where can I use USDC?
USDC is supported on most major exchanges and DeFi protocols and is one of the most widely integrated stablecoins for payments and settlement.
Can USDC lose its peg?
Yes. While USDC has maintained its peg through most market conditions, any stablecoin can depeg. Reserve quality, issuer solvency and market confidence all play a role. Never hold more than you can afford to lose in any stablecoin.
Is USDC the same as USDT?
Both target a $1 peg but they are issued by different companies with different reserve compositions and regulatory profiles. Circle (USDC) publishes attestations from a named accounting firm; Tether (USDT) has historically been less transparent. Both carry their own risks.
