What's USDC?
USDC is a type of digital money called a stablecoin. It's like a digital dollar that lives on the internet. USDC is designed to always be worth one US dollar, making it easy to use for buying things online or sending money to friends. It solves the problem of price changes that other cryptocurrencies have, so you know exactly how much it's worth, just like the money in your wallet.
How can I buy USDC?

Why do people buy USDC?
People buy USDC because it offers stability and ease of use. It's widely accepted in the crypto world for transactions and can be used to send money quickly across borders. USDC is also useful for those who want to keep their money in digital form without worrying about price changes. It's a reliable way to hold digital dollars and participate in the growing digital economy.
Things to know before buying USDC in the United States
In the United States, cryptocurrencies like USDC are legal but regulated. You must complete KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks when using platforms like OKX. Be aware that any gains from selling USDC may be subject to capital gains tax. It's important to keep records of your transactions for tax purposes. Always comply with local laws and regulations.
What are other ways to own USDC?
You can obtain USDC without buying it directly through various methods. Some platforms offer airdrops, where you receive free tokens for participating in promotions. Learn-and-Earn programs reward you with USDC for completing educational tasks. You can also earn USDC by providing liquidity in certain crypto pools or through staking rewards. Each method requires different levels of effort and understanding of the risks involved.
How can I store my USDC?
To keep your USDC safe, you can choose between custodial and non-custodial storage. Custodial wallets, like those on OKX, are easy to use but require trust in the platform. Non-custodial wallets give you full control but require you to manage your own security. Hot wallets are convenient for frequent use, while cold wallets offer more security for long-term storage. Always back up your wallet and keep recovery phrases secure to protect against loss or theft.
