What this page shows
The USDC price from December 2018 to today, broken down by month and year, alongside the live price from exchanges right now. The chart is built from monthly closes, so it shows the shape of the move rather than the noise inside a week.
The history in numbers
Across 7 years of observations USDC has ranged from $0.7600 (its low, January 2024) to $1.08 (its high, April 2019).
The best full year was 2024 at +0.2%; the worst was 2020 at −0.5%. Of 7 complete years, 3 closed higher and 4 closed lower.
The current year stands at −0.1% so far, ranging from $0.9991 to $1.02.
Historical patterns
Of 87 closed months, 25 finished higher and 62 finished lower — 29% of months up. The average month returned +0.0%.
The strongest month on record was June 2019 at +1.1%; the weakest was July 2019 at −1.1%.
82 months have passed since the all-time-high month on a closing basis.
Month-of-year seasonality
The strongest month on average has been April at +0.1% across 8 observations, 3 of them positive. The weakest has been July at −0.2% across 8 observations, 0 positive.
We print the observation count beside every percentage on purpose. 8 observations is 8 observations, and on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from a coincidence. Interesting to look at; not something to build a plan on.
