USDC (USDC)

USDC holds steady at $1.00 with a fractional daily gain, reinforcing its role as the second-largest stablecoin. With a market cap of $55 billion, it is 40% smaller than the runner-up USDT's $92 billion but maintains a 99.9% peg stability, better than the average for stablecoins. Its daily volume of $8.2 billion confirms liquidity nearly 2x that of #5 BNB's exchange activity.
