Circle on the PowerMap
What our written rows say Circle can do to the holders of 2 coins: 5 rows, each in the words its coin page prints, with its source and the day we read it.
Can freeze 1
Block one address, or freeze the coins in it.
- USDC USDC
Be held without a company: Partly. You can keep USDC in your own wallet, but Circle can block an address and freeze the USDC in it, for a time or for good.

Decides redemption 2
Decide who may exchange it for what backs it, and on what terms.
- USDC USDC
Be redeemed for what backs it: Partly. Only holders of a Circle Mint account can swap USDC for dollars with Circle itself, and those accounts are for institutions, not individuals. Everyone else sells it on an exchange.

- EURC EURC
Be redeemed for what backs it: Partly. Businesses with a Circle Mint account convert EURC to euro with Circle itself. Everyone else sells it on an exchange.

Issues copies on other chains 2
Issue the copy that exists on another chain.
- USDC USDC
Be used on other chains: Yes. Circle issues USDC directly on dozens of chains. A "bridged" USDC is a different token, issued by a bridge and not by Circle.

What this page is not. It lists what our written rows say. It is not a complete account of what Circle can do, it says nothing about whether a power has been or will be used, and it is not a view of Circle or of any coin.
Something here wrong, or out of date? How to ask for a correction. We reread the source and fix the row, or show why it stands.
