USDC
USDCLive. Machine-drafted, not yet checked by a person.
USDC is a type of cryptocurrency called a stablecoin, built to hold a steady value close to one US dollar. Its pages make no dated promises we could check. It trades at $0.9998, #6 of all coins by size, 4% below its highest ever price.
This week in the news: upgrade or launch live.
No stated job or named backing. No dated promises on its pages. Nothing dated ahead. #2 of 8 fiat-backed stablecoins. Nothing to be careful of on the record.
Is it real?

- –A real-world jobDoes it say what problem it solves, in a category that is not a joke?
- –Real backingA named investor, an index, a major exchange, or a billion-dollar size.
- –Something aheadA dated step, deliveries on record, or demand showing up in the news.
- –Room to growWorth at least four times less than the biggest coin doing the same job, so the gap is real, not a guess.

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Fiat-backed Stablecoin ($4.59B). To match the leader, Tether ($183.37B), its price would need to rise 147%, to about $2.47.
Still to check
- No dated promise on record yet, so delivery cannot be judged
- No named investor among its tags
- Years younger than the group's leader
What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.
A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.
Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.
Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.
Does it deliver?
No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

Nothing dated
The project has not put a date on anything still open. That is a fact worth knowing.

Fiat-backed Stablecoin: this coin next to Tether, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.
- USDC says

- Tether says
- Tether is a platform that lets people use regular currencies, like the US dollar, in digital form on blockchains.
Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.
USDC is a type of cryptocurrency called a stablecoin, built to hold a steady value close to one US dollar.
Its listing puts it this way: USDC is a fully collateralized US dollar stablecoin. USDC is the bridge between dollars and trading on cryptocurrency exchanges.
Problem it says it solves: a stable digital dollar. 27 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $275,379,450,817.
Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.
Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.
What should make me careful?
Nothing printed today
None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

Meant to stay at one dollar
Holding it is holding a copy of a dollar. It is not built to rise.
- Nothing the project's own pages spell out.
That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.
