Circle's USDC is pegged to the U.S. dollar and is less volatile than cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This makes USDC more suitable for regular payments and storing value.

Circle的USDC與美元固定在一起，比比特幣和以太坊等加密貨幣的波動性較小。這使USDC更適合定期付款和存儲價值。

USDC stablecoin reserves are held by regulated institutions. These reserves are regularly audited by third-party firms to verify their accuracy. This process helps to ensure that the stablecoin remains fully backed and transparent.

USDC Stablecoin儲備由受監管的機構持有。這些儲備會經常由第三方公司審核，以驗證其準確性。此過程有助於確保穩定劑保持完全支持和透明。

Some users in the Philippines expressed concerns about existing financial systems. One comment on X, formerly Twitter, described the country's payment networks as "some of the worst rails and ramps in the world."

菲律賓的一些用戶對現有金融系統表示擔憂。對X（以前是Twitter）的一評論將該國的支付網絡描述為“世界上最糟糕的軌道和坡道”。

The GCash USDC integration provides users with an alternative that avoids traditional payment delays. However, the adoption of Circle's USDC may still face friction.

GCASH USDC集成為用戶提供了避免傳統付款延遲的替代方案。但是，Circle USDC的採用仍然可能面臨摩擦。

Issues of transparency during transactions were also raised. Ignas, a DeFi researcher, stated, "Crypto payments failed for one small reason that needs fixing: When sending USDC, let the recipient see the transaction but not your address."

交易期間的透明度問題也提出了。 Defi研究人員IGNAS表示：“加密付款失敗，原因是需要修復的小原因：發送USDC時，讓收件人看到交易，而不是您的地址。”

This concern highlights the challenge of maintaining privacy while using public blockchain networks. For daily transactions, showing wallet addresses can discourage regular use.

這種關注凸顯了在使用公共區塊鍊網絡時保持隱私的挑戰。對於每日交易，顯示錢包地址可能會定期使用。

Circle的USDC現在直接與Tether（Crypto：USDT）等其他主要穩定股競爭，並由Crypto Exchange FTX使用。同時，像美國銀行（NYSE：BAC）這樣的傳統銀行巨頭正在進入Stablecoin服務領域。這些發展展示了金融科技領域和銀行業採用Stablecoin的活動的日益增加。

The GCash USDC integration allows users to buy, hold, and send the digital dollar without needing a separate crypto exchange. The feature is part of the GCrypto platform, which is accessible inside the GCash app.
