  USDC, or USD Coin, is indeed a stablecoin. It is a digital currency that is pegged to the value of the US dollar, meaning that 1 USDC is always equal to 1 USD. This stability is maintained through a process called collateralization. For every USDC in circulation, there is an equivalent amount of US dollars held in reserve. This ensures that there is always enough backing for the USDC tokens in circulation, giving it its stability.
