According to Messari, USDC is all set to become the next governing stablecoin on Ethereum due to its rising popularity on DeFi.

According to the official reports of Tether Transparency, there has been an increase in USDT by 200% which amounts to approximately US$ 62.7 billion worth of USDT in circulation. A total of US$ 30.9 billion resting with Tether that has been falling incessantly in the market.
USDC that is launched in Ethereum has experienced a surge in prices of 1820% in 2021 and has facilitated a record supply of stablecoin at 25 billion on crypto trading and exchange app called Circle.
USDC Likely to Have a Stable Rise in Price
According to various market research data analysts, the trend that induces the rise in USDC prices is likely to rise further as the USDC has sought an active association with Compound Treasury. This association will further facilitate 4% interest on USDC to institutions. This will also encourage the DeFi API initiated by Circle to develop as a new platform to ease DeFi’s business operations.
Earlier this week, another prominent US-based crypto exchange Coinbase issued statements that they will actively provide 4% interest on USDC holdings adding a more progressive stance to the existing USDC popularity spectrum.
