I've been hearing a lot about stablecoins lately, and one that's often mentioned is USDC. But I'm still not entirely clear on what it is. So, can you clarify for me: is USDC a stable coin? I've seen it described as being pegged to the US dollar, but what does that really mean? And how does it maintain that peg? Is there a mechanism that ensures its stability? Also, what are the benefits of using USDC compared to other cryptocurrencies or even traditional fiat currencies? I'm really curious to learn more about this emerging trend in the crypto space.
