USD Coin (USDC) is a dollar-pegged stablecoin. Its exchange rate is pegged to the US dollar at 1:1, which means 1 USDC equals 1 dollar. The project was launched in October 2018 by the fintech company Circle and the popular crypto exchange Coinbase. Circle holds responsibility for issuing tokens.
The USD Coin's main objective is to provide users with a convenient way to transfer and exchange money globally, offering a more efficient way than traditional fiat options.

If you finally decided to buy USDC, here we’ll show you how to create a wallet for USDC on TRON (USDC TRC-20) storage.
