Editor's Note: Since Circle announced its listing, a hidden boundary in the stablecoin market has been officially drawn: USDC and USDT are beginning to follow two different development paths. USDC, with compliance and transparency at its core, is gradually embedding itself into the US financial system, becoming a "permissioned dollar" serving institutional users and fintech scenarios; while USDT continues to play a key role in global trading, payment, and asset hedging scenarios, leveraging its extensive on-chain liquidity and deep market foundation.

[The rest of the translation follows the same professional and accurate approach, maintaining the original meaning while translating into English.]

  • Tether serves a broader user base, especially those who truly rely on stablecoins.

  • In other words, Circle wins in "tool attributes," while Tether wins in "survival necessity."
