Analyzed why recently $USDC is always at a premium compared to $USDT .
In summary, European and American users exited and converted USDC into fiat currency (reducing supply).
The remaining USDC has been withdrawn by these activities (reducing supply).
There is basically no USDC left in the market, and with the supply being quite limited, it has to be bought at a premium.
USDT is also not as good as USDC in terms of wealth management (intra-market demand).
By the way, the @baseapp wallet offers a long-term interest rate of 3.8%.
