Circle issues USD Coin (USDC) with a target value of $1. Minting adds to the amount issued but does not show where tokens go or whether trading liquidity changes.

Circle issues USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin designed to track the U.S. dollar at $1.

Minting adds to the amount of USDC issued, but does not by itself show whether tokens were transferred to exchanges or other holders. It also does not establish a change in trading liquidity.

The USDC Treasury handles token minting and redemptions, managing supply in response to demand.
