There are different types of collateral (cash or other crypto assets), let’s explore it for a few stablecoins – USDC, UST, DAI, FRAX and LUSD.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;USDC&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://preview.redd.it/gnkmj6lpguz81.png?width=1684&amp;amp;format=png&amp;amp;auto=webp&amp;amp;s=135b652023acbfd2ae857786db7a890bc7d98662&quot;&gt;https://preview.redd.it/gnkmj6lpguz81.png?width=1684&amp;amp;format=png&amp;amp;auto=webp&amp;amp;s=135b652023acbfd2ae857786db7a890bc7d98662&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the chart above, USDC stands out of the crew. As of May 1, 2022, there was 49B USDC issued, fully backed by US dollars.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let’s zoom in to better see the rest of the picture.
