USDC Price (USDC)

Circle issues USDC to track the US dollar. Eligible institutions can create or redeem native USDC through Circle Mint. A person trading through an exchange sees the price available in that market, which can differ from the one-dollar redemption rate.

Circle publishes the makeup of its reserves and monthly third-party reports on their value. Use those reports to look up the backing. The circulating supply above measures how many USDC are in the market, and the stablecoin dashboard lets you compare that supply with other dollar tokens.

Circle publishes the contract address for native USDC on each supported network. A third-party bridge can create another token representing USDC held elsewhere. Check the network and token address that the receiving wallet or exchange accepts, especially if a token is labelled USDC.e.
