    USDC being fully reserved means that for every unit of USDC in circulation, there is an equivalent amount of real-world assets held in reserve. This ensures that USDC is backed by tangible assets and can be redeemed for their value. It provides stability and trust in the digital currency ecosystem.

    When USDC is fully reserved, it means that the issuer of USDC has enough assets to cover the total supply of USDC. This is important because it guarantees the value of USDC and protects users from potential risks associated with unbacked or under-collateralized digital currencies.

    USDC being fully reserved is a fundamental principle of BYDFi. It means that BYDFi holds sufficient assets to back every unit of USDC in circulation. This ensures the stability and reliability of USDC as a digital currency, making it a trusted choice for users.
