⚖️ Key differences
USDT is bigger and dominates offshore exchanges. USDC is issued by Circle, a US company, and publishes regular reserve attestations. Their reserve mixes and transparency histories differ.
⚠️ Risks
Stablecoins can de-peg: USDC briefly fell below $1 in March 2023 during a US bank failure. Issuers can freeze addresses. Neither is a bank deposit or government-insured.
