Why USDC barely moves

Across its whole history USDC has ranged from $0.7600 to $1.08. For a coin that is unusually little: this is not a bet on growth but an instrument meant to stay put. So the question to ask is not how much it will rise, but how precisely it holds.

From low to high

Over 7 years the price of USDC has moved between $0.7600 and $1.08. The low came in January 2024, the high in April 2019.

It has been 83 months since that high, and the price has not returned to it.

What the years show

The best full year was 2024 at +0.2%. The worst was 2020 at −0.5%. Of 7 full years, 3 closed up and 4 closed down.

Falling years outnumber rising ones — but the spread between the best and worst year matters more than the count: that is what tells you what to be ready for.

The current year stands at +0.0%, ranging from $0.9991 to $1.02.

Months: how many closed up

Of 88 closed months, 25 finished up and 63 finished down — 28% of months were rising ones. The average month returned +0.0%.

The strongest month on record was June 2019 at +1.1%; the hardest was July 2019 at −1.1%.

Does USDC have a seasonal pattern

On average USDC did best in April: +0.1% across 8 observations, 3 of them positive. It did worst in July: −0.2% across 8 observations.

We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 8 observations is 8 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.

How to use this

Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $0.7600 to $1.08.

What is useful right now is this: USDC costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner. Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer. And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.

How we count

Frequently asked

What is USDC worth right now?
$1.00 as of the last refresh. The live price from the exchanges we cover is shown in the board at the top of the page and updates on its own.
What was the USDC all-time high?
$1.08 in April 2019. The price is currently −7.3% against that level.
Where does the data come from?
From the exchange's monthly candles: each month's close, high and low since December 2018. A closed month never changes, so the history ships ready-made and renders instantly while the live price is fetched separately.
Can I decide whether to buy from this page?
No. The page shows what has already happened. Past returns do not carry into the future, and no chart changes that.
