USDT and USDC are both stablecoins, digital assets designed to maintain a stable value, typically pegged to a real-world asset like the US dollar.

The key difference between them lies in their issuer. USDT is issued by Tether Limited, a company that backs each USDT token with equivalent amounts of fiat currency.
