what's usdc?

Circle is a financial technology company that issues USDC, the world's largest regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, providing stability and trust in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Founded in 2013, Circle focuses on building open infrastructure for global payments, commerce, and financial applications using digital currencies and blockchains. Key features include the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) for seamless USDC transfers across multiple blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and others, as well as Circle Mint for institutional onramps and treasury management. USDC is fully reserved with assets like US dollars and short-term government securities, with monthly attestations for transparency. Circle also powers innovations like Circle Gateway for unified cross-chain USDC balances and supports real-world applications in trade finance, DeFi, and payments. As of October 2025, USDC has over $75 billion in circulation, underscoring Circle's role in bridging traditional finance and crypto.
