USDC

USDC is a tokenised form of the U.S. dollar designed for use on blockchain networks. Each USD Coin (USDC) is backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars or equivalent assets held in reserve by a regulated custodian. Crypto custodians securely hold and manage digital assets on behalf of users or companies. There are three different types of crypto custodians: centralised custodians, decentralised custodians, and hybrid custodians.
