Cardano Founder Highlights USDC’s Role in Crypto Landscape
Charles Hoskinson, Cardano's founder, recently emphasized USD Coin (USDC) as an early Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), highlighting the increasing importance of stablecoins like USDC in the cryptocurrency landscape.
USDC maintains a 1-to-1 peg with the U.S. dollar, making it attractive for users seeking stability amid digital asset volatility. The stablecoin’s open-source nature ensures transparency and community involvement in its development and maintenance.
