Last October, Coinbase began paying fees for storing USDC to US customers. Rewards were accrued daily and distributed monthly.

The stablecoin USDC is supported by CENTER, a consortium of Coinbase and Circle. That is the second-largest stablecoin in the market with a share of more than 7% (Tether dominates the market with a share of over 85%).
