USDC, a fully reserved stablecoin categorised as a type of cryptocurrency or digital dollar, is engineered to maintain value equivalence to the U.S. dollar.

Last year, Burnt Banksy, the founder of the business formerly known as Burnt Finance, announced his XION mainnet project and rebranded his firm to simply Burnt.

During Burnt’s exclusive performance in New York, the founder announced the news while setting XION on fire and setting himself ablaze.

According to the Burnt Banksy team: “The announcement was made as part of Burnt’s exclusive performance in New York, during which the founder lit himself on fire and subsequently set XION aflame, symbolising a new light for the crypto industry.”
