USDT vs USDC: what's the difference, which is safer, and how to choose (2026)

What's the difference between USDT and USDC, and which should you choose? In one sentence: use USDT for everyday trading (more trading pairs, wider circulation), and use USDC in wallets and DeFi (transparent reserves, monthly third-party attestation reports).
