I'm quite new to the cryptocurrency world and am currently exploring stablecoins. I've heard of USDT and USDC and am trying to decide which one to invest in. Could you please explain the key differences between the two? Also, which one do you think has more potential in terms of growth and stability? I'm looking for a safe and reliable option to hold my assets. Would you recommend diversifying by investing in both, or should I stick to one? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is backed by a mix of cash, loans, and various other assets, rather than solely US dollars.

Because of its full collateralization, USDC is generally considered to be safer than USDT.

USDC is a cryptocurrency that is fully collateralized.

This means that for every USDC token in circulation, there is an equivalent amount of US dollars held in reserve.

In contrast, USDT is only partially collateralized.
