Is something amiss with USDC?

If it's even partially backed by other cryptos, it could implode pretty soon.



It's fully backed by cash held at US banks and by US Treasuries, per my understanding. And this disclosure did not pertain to those reserves, which are held in trust on behalf of customers as per state money-transmitter laws, which customers would presumably not be treated as unsecured creditors, but only to cryptocurrencies held in Coinbase-controlled wallets.
