What do you need from a wallet? Most crypto investors will tell you that you need security, accessibility, and flexibility. They’ll also tell you that the two rarely go hand-in-hand! Wallets are either highly secure (with protocols that make it hard to access your coins) or really flexible (with security flaws).
Zengo is a rare wallet that offers the best security measures without compromising on flexibility and ease of use. Here are ways you can use it:
Nobody can afford to spend hours combing through forums or outdated and contradictory portfolio trackers — especially not crypto investors who need to act quickly and decisively. Zengo allows you to view your USDC portfolio and market trends in the app. You can sell, trade, or send USDC in the same app as the tracker so that you never miss a lucrative trading window.
You can share USDC with friends, send it to exchanges, or send it to another wallet with a simple tap or swipe. Zengo allows you to receive or send USDC by tapping or swiping the USDC asset on your home screen. You’ll be informed as soon as coins land in your wallet.
Zengo is the easiest way to buy USDC, even if you’ve never bought crypto before. Zengo’s easy-to-understand and intuitive interface means that you can enter the cryptocurrency world by swiping or tapping an asset in the app. There are multiple crypto denominations to choose from and numerous convenient payment methods.
Zengo offers several simple and convenient ways to buy ETH. Through our trusted and fully vetted payment partners, you can use your credit card, SEPA, mobile payment apps, and even bank transfers (if you are based in the UK or EU).
You don’t have to stick to ETH when you use Zengo. Trade Ethereum for any of the other supported assets available in Zengo, including DOGE, Tether, Bitcoin, and Shiba Inu.
Most wallets only allow you to purchase USDC using other forms of cryptocurrency. Zengo allows you to purchase USDC with crypto and fiat currencies, like Euros, pound sterling, or US dollars.
Zengo has a comprehensive list of payment methods available, and we keep adding to it. Pay via selected credit cards, mobile payment apps, SEPA, or Swift bank transfer (EU and UK). Terms and conditions may apply to bank transfers, including minimum spend amounts.
USDC is exchangeable for any other asset supported by Zengo, including the most popular cryptocurrencies in the world — Ethereum, Bitcoin, Shiba Inu, Tezos, and more.
Zengo’s savings service provides better interest than leading banks! You can earn 5% APY on $50,000 for selected cryptocurrency held in your Zengo wallet, an industry-leading offer. New coins are added all the time, so keep an eye out.
Interested in USDC? Stablecoins are compelling investments, but it’s best to learn more about them before taking the leap. Here are some facts and insight about USDC for novices to help you get started:
USDC is a stablecoin backed 1:1 by dollars in a bank account. Cash makes up just over 60% of its reserves — more than leading competitor Tether.
USD was founded by Centre, founded by Circle’s Jeremy Allaire and Sean Neville.
USD Coin was founded in response to the launch of Tether, the world’s first stablecoin. The founders wanted to create a stablecoin with even stricter guidelines. USDC emulates Tether by providing a more stable and convertible cryptocurrency, but, in contrast to Tether, the company follows strict governance policies and explicit regulations for USDC creation and redemption. Members of the Centre consortium are required to meet stringent compliance guidelines.
Centre was founded in 2013, but USD Coin was only introduced to the market in 2018. It was announced in May 2018 and officially launched in September 2018.
A reported 41.1 billion USDC is in circulation as of Dec 2021, according to Circle. 1.4 Trillion USDC has been transferred on-chain since its inception.
USDC is natively supported on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token, on Algorand (ASA token), Solana (SPL token), TRON as a TRC-20 token, and Stellar (native asset).
Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary has publicly said he likes USDC as a crypto investment.
Yahoo Finance has an active forum that discusses the currency.
Coinbase merchants can accept USDC, and Visa has announced that they will support transaction settlement with USDC, so you’ll be able to buy a lot using your USD Coin in the near future.
USDC issuers must report their USD holdings every month. It is published online by an accountancy firm for anyone to view.
At its launch, USDC was the second biggest stablecoin globally and the sixth biggest cryptocurrency.
USDC operates within regulated frameworks and US money transmission laws, working with established banking partners and auditors. Only eligible financial institutions may become members of the Centre consortium.
A minimum of USDC is redeemable on business days only.
