OKEx, a Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency exchange, has added USD Coin (USDC) to its listings, marking a significant milestone just a month after USDC's launch. The rapid adoption of USDC highlights a growing global demand for open fiat standards on the internet, supported by a robust ecosystem of over 40 exchanges, protocols, platforms, applications, and wallets. USDC's trading volume has surged by 2,000% week over week, with its market capitalization exceeding $30 million, driven by the need for a transparent and compliant USD token among market participants. This stablecoin facilitates seamless fiat currency exchanges and provides a stable value for hedging against volatile crypto assets, enabling new financial opportunities and liquidity. Circle, the company behind USDC, expects widespread adoption of the token, which is foundational for developing global financial products and services online, and it is the first of several fiat tokens that CENTRE plans to introduce.
