About

Monero is the most significant privacy-focused cryptocurrency on the market. It was created in 2014. The main feature of Monero is mixing of transactions in the blockchain. Third parties can't see amounts of money sent in transactions and addresses participating in operations, so all payments are untraceable. The developers are keeping it ASIC-resistant. It saves this network from centralization and gives an opportunity for GPU owners to earn something from mining Monero. Despite its lack of serious marketing campaign Monero has gained a strong following on different forums and social media platforms. In 2016 the price of Monero began to grow. Nowadays this currency is one of the top 15 cryptocurrencies by its market cap.
USD Coin (USDC) is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar (1 USD Coin = $1). This currency was founded in 2018 by the American company Centre Consortium associated with Coinbase and Circle. The support of the experienced team helped this project to reach high positions by its market capitalization (USDC is one of the top 30 cryptocurrencies). Each USDC is backed by one US dollar held by the company in a bank account. As USDC is an Ethereum-based token, it can be stored in the Ethereum-compatible wallets. The key feature of USDC is that it has the same value as USD but it requires no bank account, it doesn't charge high fees and works internationally. USDC is supported by several crypto exchanges and business enterprises.
