As a freelancer in France working with international clients, having a secure and efficient way to handle payments is essential. USD Coin (USDC), a stable digital currency pegged to the U.S. dollar, offers a reliable solution for receiving and converting foreign currencies. Unlike traditional payment methods, USDC protects your earnings from exchange rate volatility, allowing you to store value digitally and convert it to euros when needed.
