What moves the USD Coin price
USD Coin is a stablecoin, so its price is designed to stay very close to $1. Small moves above or below $1 come from supply and demand on exchanges. A large, lasting move away from $1 (a "depeg") is a warning sign about its reserves or redemptions. See what is a stablecoin.
What the numbers mean
- Price is the latest traded price in US dollars, averaged across exchanges. The price on your exchange can differ a little, and buying usually costs more than the quoted price because of spreads and fees (see the true cost calculator).
- 24h change compares now with the price exactly 24 hours ago.
- Market cap is price × coins in circulation. It's a snapshot of size, not money invested (market cap explained).
- Volume is how much was traded in the last 24 hours across tracked exchanges.
- All-time high is the highest price ever recorded and how far today's price is from it.
