What is USD Coin (USDC) on Ethereum?

USD Coin (USDC) on Ethereum is a regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, issued by Circle. Unlike algorithmic stablecoins, USDC is backed by cash and short-term US Treasury bonds, with regular attestations of reserves. USDC is widely used across DeFi protocols for lending, borrowing, and providing liquidity, and is accepted as payment by a growing number of merchants. As an ERC-20 token, USDC benefits from Ethereum's vast ecosystem but incurs gas fees for transfers.
