About USDC

USDC is a fully collateralized US dollar stablecoin. USDC is the bridge between dollars and trading on cryptocurrency exchanges. The technology behind CENTRE makes it possible to exchange value between people, businesses and financial institutions just like email between mail services and texts between SMS providers. We believe by removing artificial economic borders, we can create a more inclusive global economy.

Guides

  • Stablecoins Explained: How They Work and What Can Go Wrong

    A stablecoin is a token built to hold a fixed value, usually one US dollar, and it holds that value either because an issuer keeps cash and short-term government debt in reserve against every token in circulation or because code adjusts supply to chase the peg, and it is the second design that has failed most often.

  • How to Send Crypto Across Chains Without Losing It

    Moving crypto between chains means either routing it through an exchange that accepts deposits on one network and withdrawals on another, or using a bridge that locks the asset on the source chain and issues a wrapped version on the destination, and in both cases the mistake that costs people money is picking the wrong network on the send screen.

  • Where Stablecoin Yield Comes From, and What Can Go Wrong

    Stablecoin yield is paid by borrowers who want leverage, by issuers sharing the interest earned on their reserves, or by trading strategies, so the rate you are quoted is compensation for credit, contract, and platform risk rather than interest on a deposit.
