USDC (USDC)

USDC is the top 10's stability anchor, trading at $0.999892 with a weekly move of only 0.003% — over 366 times smaller than #8 TRON's 1.1% weekly decline. This near-perfect peg, backed by Circle's regulated reserves, increasingly appeals to institutions as regulatory scrutiny tightens. Its rank just below Tether underscores a quiet but steady shift toward compliance-first stablecoins.
