USD Coin (USDC) is a fully collateralized US Dollar stablecoin based on the open source fiat stablecoin framework developed by Centre, a consortium founded by Circle and Coinbase. USDC tokens are ERC-20 compatible and can be used with any ERC-20 compatible digital wallet or service.
Customers from around the world can tokenize US Dollars into USDC and / or redeem USDC back into US Dollars with Circle (https://usdc.circle.com) and Coinbase (https://www.coinbase.com). USDC is fully collateralized - every unit of USDC is only ever issued after a corresponding US Dollar is deposited in reserve bank accounts.
Reserve funds are held with multiple US-based banks. USDC is built on openness and accountability, enshrined in the governance and technology standards effort of Centre.

True financial interoperability requires a price stable means of value exchange. CENTRE’s technology for fiat-backed stablecoins brings stability to crypto. The initial implementation is USD//Coin (USDC), an ERC-20 token creating possibilities in payments, lending, investing, trading and trade finance — and the ecosystem will grow as other fiat currency tokens are added. As more goods and services are tokenized, smart contract platforms will become fundamental building blocks of value exchange.
Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency with reference to fiat currencies that is issued by Tether Limited Company. Using the technology of Blockchain, Tether allows the users to keep, send and receive digital tokens pegged to dollars, euros and yens*. *1USDT =/= 1USD - according to ToS (Terms-of-service) of Tether Limited Company - Tether tokens are not money, although they are backed by the currency used to purchase them at issuance.

After the crypto bull-run of 2017 and the havoc wrecked on the crypto-markets in early 2018, the crypto-community turned their attention towards the high-volatility issue of the crypto-currencies. It was high-time something was done to ensure that the markets are not manipulated in any way and to ensure that some mechanism is there to safeguard it against the rapid fluctuations in the crypto-markets. As a result, the concept of stablecoins gained momentum. A USD Coin tries to amalgamate the benefits of the cryptocurrencies with the stability of the fiat currencies. It lets its users transfer money quickly all around the world while maintaining its value to $1
4.2
The actual product is a crypto-token whose value is backed by the US Dollar. It is already being offered on different exchanges, including Coinbase. This doesn’t mean that the tokens are just created out of one’s own will. Rather, every USD token that is released into the markets must have a US dollar stored in the reserves at the back end. The reserves must be looked after by the issuing companies and audited frequently. This process is known as tokenization
4.5
USD Coin has some leading cryptocurrency giants backing it. It is a joint-venture between Coinbase and Circle.
4.7
Talking about the history of USD Coin, it is important to note that it is a relatively newer and fresher coin of the lot. This stablecoin cryptocurrency was specifically built to combat the high volatility issues linked with mainstream crypto-tokens while making a quick and easy transaction possible for the users. USD Coin became an instant hit largely due to the good reputation of its founding companies, Coinbase and Circle. The technology and the underlying framework were developed by Centre, while its distribution was first announced by Circle and Coinbase. What USD Coin has practically done is that it has brought the US Dollar on to the blockchain, allowing the movement of payments over the cryptocurrency network.
4.8
The technology and the underlying framework for the USD Coin were developed by Centre. Their stablecoin framework allows fiat currencies, like the US Dollar, to interact with smart contracts, thus providing a means for the developers to use real-world currencies in blockchain applications.

3.8
From the price valuation point of view, USD Coin will not show any variation in its price, because essentially it is only a reflection of a US Dollar. The price of USD Coin will, therefore, stay at $1 for years to come. Commenting on its usage, USD Coin will surely have its popularity increased in the coming years. This is largely because the crypto-community has seen a trend-shift towards the use of stablecoins recently.
3.8
There are no projects under USD Coin. This is because USD Coin, in itself, is not an operating company. Circle and Coinbase might announce some development projects to enhance the working of USD Coin and increase its user-base.
2.8
USD Coin is limited because it is a stable-coin. It does not hold much potential in terms of return on investment as its price will stay at $1 US. However, it has the potential to become the leading stablecoin that will be used in different applications.
3.0

3.8

USDC also has several banking partners, including Silvergate bank and US Bankcorp Asset Management (USBAM). Circle has also partnered with Grant Thornton LLP for a monthly check-up on the US Dollar reserve balances for the USDC tokens.
4.6
