In USDC’s case, these dollar-denominated assets are short-term U. S. Treasury securities. How Does USDC Remain at $1!?

S. financial institution while USDC tokens in the same nominal value are minted. If the USDC is redeemed for the fiat currency, the tokens are burned and the dollars are transferred to investors’ bank accounts, according to USDC’s whitepaper. What is USDC Used For?
