Creating a Stablecoin
USD Coin was created as a stable currency for crypto traders, allowing businesses to accept digital assets as payment. An ERC-20 token that utilizes open-source smart contracts, USD Coin offers a viable ecosystem that uses real-world currency in blockchain applications.

While there are other stablecoins on the market, USD Coin:

Assures users can use the cryptocurrency without any issues because the circulating supply is backed by regulated and licensed financial institutions, maintaining a reserve that verifies the token’s dollar value.

Complies with regulations, allowing for international expansion.

Offers the speed, openness, and security of a crypto-powered network with the stability of existing central bank money.
Paves the way for making a global digital currency possible because The Centre Consortium is well-funded, giving the stablecoin validity.

The Centre Consortium
Circle and Coinbase founded The Centre Consortium. Circle is a peer-to-peer payment services company, and Coinbase is a cryptocurrency exchange. They recently updated the USDC protocol and smart contract to make it easier for the cryptocurrency to be used for payments and peer-to-peer transactions.

The Centre Consortium operates as an open-source framework that allows members to issue USDC tokens if they meet regulatory compliance and audit requirements. Issuers use the Centre network to verify, mint, and validate USDC tokens that their customers want to purchase, trade, and use.
