USDC is changing the way people put their dollars to work.
Despite being based in the US, Chika and Eche knew they wanted to have their wedding in their home country of Nigeria, surrounded by friends and family. They also had a time limit — and they couldn’t let their money get jammed in the rails of traditional wire transfers. That’s where USDC came in.
USDC is a regulated digital currency established in 2018 and issued by Circle1, a regulated financial service business that follows strict US laws and standards to protect your money. Every USDC in existence is backed by a US dollar or cash equivalent asset that Circle has in its publicly visible reserves, with assurances issued monthly by a Big Four accounting firm.
That’s a lot of information, all to tell you that we don’t mess around — so you can count on proof, not promises.
Circle holds USDC reserves in highly liquid cash and cash-equivalent assets with premier global banking partners, which add an extra layer of security and compliance to USDC’s dollar equivalent backing.
Fintech apps, like payment service providers, digital banks, neobanks, and exchanges, seamlessly connect USDC to the ways you send, spend, and manage money.
Onchain technology, like digital wallets, DeFi apps, and blockchains, provides direct access to USDC, giving you financial freedom without borders or middlemen.
USDC is available 24/7 on some of the most loved platforms around the world.
USDC is built on blockchain technology. You don’t have to know what a blockchain is to use USDC. But if you do, here’s where you can find it.
