Stablecoins are a fundamental piece of DeFi, and USDC continues to stand out for a few critical reasons:
Full backing audits — Circle releases regular attestation reports, increasing trust.
Massive adoption — DeFi protocols, centralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces — USDC is accepted almost everywhere.
Fiat on/off ramps — Easier to cash in or cash out directly into banks compared to many alternatives.
Regulatory readiness — Circle's recent IPO move hints they’re serious about compliance and longevity.
Even with newer algo-stables popping up, USDC feels like the safest bridge between crypto and TradFi.
That said — yield opportunities with USDC have dropped compared to last year. Farming 10%+ stable returns in 2021–2022 was easy; now you have to dig into structured DeFi strategies.
Are you still using USDC as your main stablecoin?
Or diversifying into things like DAI, GHO, or decentralized options?
Would love to compare setups!
