USDC PRICE HISTORY
USDC Price History
Explore the USDC price history from its launch in 2018 to today. The chart and tables track the USDC to USD exchange rate, including its yearly and monthly ranges and the periods when its market price moved away from its $1 target.
Because USDC is designed to maintain a stable value, its history is not measured through long-term price growth. Instead, it shows how closely the USD Coin price has remained aligned with the US dollar and how the market responded during periods of disruption.

USDC Price by Year
Compare the USDC price by year, including each year’s opening and closing price, annual high, annual low and overall change. The current year is shown as year to date and updates as new daily prices become available.
These figures provide a clearer view of USDC’s historical stability than a traditional annual return. A higher return is not the objective for USDC, since the token is designed to remain close to one US dollar.

How We Measure USDC Peg Performance
USDC is designed to track the US dollar, so its historical performance is measured by how closely it trades to $1 rather than how much its price increases over time. All figures use daily UTC closing prices from the same market data provider.
REFERENCE
$1 Reference Price
One USDC is compared with a reference value of one US dollar. Prices above $1 represent a premium, while prices below $1 represent a discount.
DAILY CLOSE
Daily Closing Price
Peg performance is calculated using one daily UTC closing price. This reduces the influence of isolated trades and short-lived price differences between exchanges.
PEG RANGE
Peg Stability Range
USDC is counted as trading within its peg range when its daily closing price is between $0.995 and $1.005. This represents a maximum movement of 0.5% in either direction.
DEVIATION
Peg Deviation
Peg deviation measures the percentage difference between the USDC price and its $1 reference value. A positive result indicates a premium, while a negative result indicates a discount.
