USD Coin Value Remains Consistent

USDC, a stablecoin founded by Centre Consortium, is fully backed and pegged to the US dollar and has a set value of $1 per coin. It’s considered a great investment and passive income stream for many crypto investors because the value doesn’t change regardless of the market volatility or economic state.

Unlike other coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and the like, with prices fluctuating wildly by the hour, the value of the USDC Coin remains consistent and predictable over time.

Every USD coin is also collateralized by the US dollar in a bank. This means every USDC has an equivalent US dollar in storage. A fresh new coin is created and backed in a separate bank account by demand.

It is in fact the only stablecoin that is both crypto-collateralized and fiat-collateralized. Unlike Tether, USDC is completely backed by fiat assets which makes it extremely popular and widely accepted even by traditional investors who have risk aversions against the extreme volatility and uncertainty of most digital assets.
