USDC (USDC)

USDC holds exactly $1.00, flat in 24 hours and up 0.02% weekly — a stablecoin workhorse for DeFi and cross-border settlements. Its 0.02% weekly change is tighter than the 0.8% swing of #5 XRP, underscoring its role as a reliable anchor. With a market cap of $28.5 billion, USDC processes over $4 billion in daily on-chain transfers. Compared to the typical stablecoin volatility, USDC's peg remains exceptionally firm, supported by full reserves. This consistency makes it a preferred settlement layer for exchanges and lending protocols.
