I've been hearing a lot about USDC recently, and I'm curious about its safety. Could you please explain how secure USDC is? I understand it's a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, but I'm interested in the underlying technology and the measures taken to protect investors' funds. Also, are there any known vulnerabilities or risks associated with USDC that I should be aware of? I'd appreciate a detailed explanation to help me make an informed decision about investing in it.

This perception is rooted in the fact that USDC is fully collateralized.

This means that each USDC token is backed by an equivalent amount of US dollars held in reserve.

In contrast, USDT is only partially collateralized.

This indicates that USDT's backing comprises a mix of cash, loans, and other assets, resulting in a less secure structure.
