Let&#8217;s take a look at <em>2 of the top controversies<\/em> surrounding <strong>USDC<\/strong>, the <strong>CENTER Consortium<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Coinbase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Some Assets of USDC Carry Default Risk &#8211; <\/strong>Following the disclosure of USD coin assets by Circle, it was revealed that the &#8220;1 USDC = $1&#8221; that Coinbase had been promoting was not entirely true. Assets included <strong>corporate bonds<\/strong> and other assets that were susceptible to losses. This would have been evident if the majority of <strong>USDC had been redeemed by customers<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It Has De-Pegged Before &#8211; <\/strong>The entire point of a stable coin is to maintain <em>price stability<\/em>. However, in 2019 <strong>USDC briefly surged to $1.19<\/strong>. Most recently,<strong> USDC fell to $0.89 in May 2021<\/strong>. These price fluctuations have sparked <em>severe concerns<\/em> in the community.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_USD_coins_are_there\"><\/span><strong>How many USD coins are there?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>There are currently<strong> 51.88Bn USDC tokens in circulation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The USD coin (USDC) is the 2nd largest stablecoin on the market.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>supply of USDC fluctuates<\/strong> according to supply and demand.

When customers <strong>redeem USDC<\/strong>, tokens are <strong>burned,<\/strong> and the <strong>supply is reduced<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There will always be the need for equilibrium. The supply of <strong>USDC tokens<\/strong> must be backed by an <strong>equivalent amount of US dollars<\/strong> or dollar-denominated assets held in <em>US-regulated financial institutions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Although stablecoins are &#8216;<strong>pegged<\/strong>,&#8217; there have still been instances where stablecoins have <strong>moved off their peg<\/strong> due to <em>supply and demand.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>USDC had previously de-pegged<\/strong> in 2019 when it briefly <em>surged to $1.19<\/em>.

They are utilized because of their stability. Let&#8217;s look at the <strong>pros and cons of the USD coin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros\"><\/span><strong>Pros<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Price Stability &#8211; <\/strong>The fundamental function of the USD coin (<strong>USDC) <\/strong>is maintaining a stable value. Achieving<strong> price stability<\/strong> increases user <em>trust<\/em> and encourages user <em>adoption<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seamless Value Exchange &#8211; <\/strong>Individuals increasingly opt to make payments in USDC because of its speed and stability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More Exchanges Are Listing USDC &#8211; <\/strong>As USDC has grown in popularity, it has created a snowball effect that has led to more and more exchanges that accept USDC. This exposes more people to USDC and, in turn, drives up daily users.<\/li>\n<li><strong>USDC Can Be Redeemed &#8211; <\/strong>Individuals can <strong>redeem USDC<\/strong> and have funds s<em>ent to their bank account<\/em>. This is made possible by the <strong>backing of USDC<\/strong> by dollars and equivalent dollar-denominated assets. This establishes a sense of security and trust.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increasingly Being Used In Decentralized Finance &#8211; <\/strong>USDC is being used in<em> decentralized finance<\/em>, specifically <strong>lending protocols<\/strong>, where individuals can lend out their USDC and earn passive rewards in return.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Used As A Shield Against Price Volatility &#8211; <\/strong>Volatility in crypto markets can lead to individuals experiencing sharp declines in the <strong>value of their digital assets.<\/strong> Many individuals trade their assets into a stablecoin like <strong>USDC<\/strong> to shield them against <strong>negative price volatility<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons\"><\/span><strong>Cons<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>USDC Isn&#8217;t Necessarily A Profitable Investment &#8211; <\/strong>USDC and other stablecoins aren&#8217;t purchased because their price is expected to appreciate; they&#8217;re purchased because their <strong>price remains stable<\/strong>. The opposite is the case with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, for example.<\/li>\n<li><strong>USDC Not Fully Cash-backed <\/strong>&#8211; USD coin and Center consortium are surrounded by controversy, and many are concerned that stable assets do not entirely back USDC. According to a recent disclosure of USD coin assets, it was revealed that risky investments like corporate bonds were also backing assets of USDC. These risky assets can be subject to losses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>There Is A Lot Of Competition &#8211; The <\/strong>USD coin is currently the 2nd largest stablecoin on the market, and the <strong>competition among stablecoins is tough<\/strong>. Because these stable assets don&#8217;t appreciate, there is often a<strong> reduced interest in customers seeking a new stablecoin<\/strong>. Many individuals would choose the<em> #1 stable coin<\/em> and trust it because of its reputation.Garnering additional <strong>adoption for USDC is especially challenging<\/strong> due to these reasons, and it&#8217;s going to take <strong>significant partnerships<\/strong> and <strong>investments<\/strong> to maintain growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"USDC_User_Reviews\"><\/span>USDC User Reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Review_Summary\"><\/span>Review Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-site-reviews-summary\"><div class=\"glsr glsr-default\" id=\"glsr_oziihznr\" data-from=\"shortcode\" data-shortcode=\"site_reviews_summary\" data-assigned_posts=\"134\" data-schema=\"1\"><div class=\"glsr-summary-wrap\">\n    <div class=\"glsr-summary\">\n        <div class=\"glsr-summary-rating\"><span class=\"glsr-tag-value\">0<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"glsr-summary-stars\"><div class=\"glsr-star-rating glsr-stars\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Rated 0 out of 5 stars\" data-rating=\"0\" data-reviews=\"0\"><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-empty\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-empty\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-empty\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-empty\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-empty\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n        <div class=\"glsr-summary-text\"><span class=\"glsr-tag-value\">0 out of 5 stars (based on 0 reviews)<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"glsr-summary-percentages\"><div class=\"glsr-summary-bar\" data-level=\"5\"><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-label\">Excellent<\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-background\" style=\"--glsr-bar-percent:0%;\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-percent\" data-percent=\"0%\" data-reviews=\"0\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"glsr-summary-bar\" data-level=\"4\"><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-label\">Very good<\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-background\" style=\"--glsr-bar-percent:0%;\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-percent\" data-percent=\"0%\" data-reviews=\"0\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"glsr-summary-bar\" data-level=\"3\"><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-label\">Average<\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-background\" style=\"--glsr-bar-percent:0%;\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-percent\" data-percent=\"0%\" data-reviews=\"0\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"glsr-summary-bar\" data-level=\"2\"><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-label\">Poor<\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-background\" style=\"--glsr-bar-percent:0%;\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-percent\" data-percent=\"0%\" data-reviews=\"0\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"glsr-summary-bar\" data-level=\"1\"><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-label\">Terrible<\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-background\" style=\"--glsr-bar-percent:0%;\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-summary-bar-percent\" data-percent=\"0%\" data-reviews=\"0\"><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recent_Reviews\"><\/span>Recent Reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-site-reviews\"><div class=\"glsr glsr-default\" id=\"glsr_zxamhlvr\" data-from=\"shortcode\" data-shortcode=\"site_reviews\" data-assigned_posts=\"134\"><div class=\"glsr-reviews-wrap\">\n    <div class=\"glsr-reviews\">\n        <p class=\"glsr-no-margins\">There are no reviews yet.
