USDC Gives Masterclass in Trustworthiness to USDT In contrast to the highly controversial stablecoin U.S. Dollar Tether (USDT), the U.S. Dollar Coin (USDC) token created by Goldman Sachs-backed Circle Internet Finance in May of this year has already proved itself financially sound with an independent accountancy firm. In a document sent from GrantThornton accountants to Circle, posted yesterday, the company states that the total balance in Circle&#8217;s bank account is $127,412,240.

This latest news from Circle shows that the payments processing firm is attempting to provide exactly the service that many thought Bitfinex&#8217;s USDT would. On Circle&#8217;s website, there is extensive, transparent information about all the functions possible with USDC.
