USDC is the dominant and preferred stablecoin within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, benefiting from strong user 'stickiness' and strategic entrenchment.

Being used by Visa for stablecoin settlement, a development which could drive increased adoption and utility.

Viewed with deep suspicion by regulators, it carries significant counterparty risk for users who trust the issuer to hold reserves without the protection of FDIC insurance.

While noted for its utility in products like Coinbase's lending, it is grouped with other centralized stablecoins as having significant counterparty and censorship risks, making the case for decentralized alternatives.
