Why We Use USDC at NOAH

Operating within the intricate framework of global financial regulations, various jurisdictions grapple with distinct laws and restrictions. These complexities may be augmented due to geopolitical dynamics, limited access to major currencies like the US Dollar, or a range of factors influencing the ease of traditional banking transactions.

USDC offers a solution to these challenges by:

1. Acting as a universally recognized digital currency, simplifying the process of cross-border financial transactions.
2. Providing liquidity in areas where USD access might be difficult due to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions, without contravening any international norms or sanctions.
3. Enhancing financial inclusion by offering a viable financial tool to regions typically underrepresented in the global economic framework.

In the fast-paced world of finance and cryptocurrencies, volatility is a significant concern. Yet, USDC, with its 1:1 pegging to the US Dollar, provides a bulwark against financial storms:

1. It maintains a stable value, reducing exposure to fluctuating market conditions.
2. It allows for predictable financial planning, as its value won't dramatically shift overnight.
3. It provides a safe harbor in a turbulent market, often acting as a place of stability when other cryptocurrencies exhibit high volatility.

Traditional fiat currencies come with various strings attached - restrictions from financial institutions, central banks, etc. In contrast, USDC offers:

1. Easier international transactions without the need for intermediaries or traditional banking channels.
2. The ability to move funds more freely fosters greater financial autonomy.
3. An increased level of user control, since blockchain transactions, while fully adhering to Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, allow users to manage their funds directly.

At NOAH, we understand the pivotal role of secure and efficient transactions in today's global economy. In response, we leverage USDC to streamline our operations and deliver value to our clients:

1. By harnessing the benefits of blockchain technology, USDC enables us to execute cross-border transactions with greater speed and lower costs.
2. This digital currency facilitates smoother interactions with our clients, reducing the traditional financial system's bureaucratic red tape.
3. Lastly, USDC provides a secure medium of exchange, thereby instilling confidence in our transactions and processes.

Transacting with USDC also offers cost savings, which is critical in the financial world. Compared to traditional banks that often impose substantial fees for international transfers, USDC provides:

1. Lower transaction fees due to the decentralization inherent in blockchain transactions.
2. Savings that stem from fewer overhead costs associated with traditional banking procedures.
3. Increased financial power by ensuring more of your money stays in your pocket.

Time is a precious commodity in the world of finance. Here, USDC shines:

1. USDC transactions are completed in significantly less time than traditional banking transactions.
2. The 24/7 nature of blockchain means transactions can occur at any time, not just during "business hours."
3. USDC can be accessed and transacted from anywhere worldwide, increasing financial accessibility.

Crypto rails — the infrastructure that enables the swift and secure transfer of cryptocurrencies — sets USDC apart. They ensure:

1. Rapid transaction speeds, outperforming traditional financial systems.
2. Greater reach, with the potential for truly global transactions.
3. Increased security, as the blockchain's decentralized and immutable nature helps protect against fraud.

Our embrace of USDC at NOAH isn't merely a selection from a list of options. It's a strategic move toward harnessing cutting-edge technology for refined financial operations.

Choosing USDC isn't just about choosing a stablecoin. It's about choosing stability in an ocean of economic uncertainty. It's about opting for efficiency in a world where every second counts. But most importantly, it's about confidently stepping into the future of finance, armed with the power of technology. At NOAH, we're not just keeping up with the times, we're shaping them.
