Circle Internet Financial has developed USDC, a leading stablecoin launched in 2018, to offer the benefits of digital currency with the stability of being backed 1:1 by US dollars, making it both trustworthy and efficient for payments. Corey Cooper, Circle's Developer Relations Manager, explains in a video how USDC operates within Circle's robust stablecoin infrastructure, which facilitates the seamless issuance and redemption of USDC through traditional banking systems and the USDC partner network using Circle's API. The stablecoin is available on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Algorand, increasing its liquidity and accessibility for developers. Additionally, Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) enhances blockchain interoperability by allowing developers to perform cross-chain swaps, thus simplifying user experience and unifying liquidity across the ecosystem. Circle's services focus on providing the technology for these transactions without engaging in regulated money transmission activities, aiming to transform financial accessibility and efficiency globally.
