[Crypto] Add USDC

[SamsungGalaxyPlayer]

• [x] I confirm there are no other issues about this asset (open or closed)
• [ ] I understand that Haveno expects the project applying for being listed to take care of the PR for the actual implementation
• [x] I understand that adding the asset is at discretion of the Haveno Core Team and applying doesn't necessarily imply acceptance

What's the ticker symbol of the project?

USDC

Why should it be added to Haveno? How would it benefit the project and the community?

USDC is a centralized stablecoin that has a high rate of USA and Canada acceptance in particular. Since most major US exchanges do not support XMR, this would provide easier access to a highly-liquid trading market.

Is it an Ethereum token (ERC-20)?

• [x] Yes
• [ ] No

USD Coin (USDC) is available as an Ethereum ERC-20, Algorand ASA, Avalanche ERC-20, Flow FT, Hedera SDK, Solana SPL, Stellar asset, and TRON TRC-20. Ethereum gets the most use by far. Solana USDC is strategically important imo because fees are low, and USDC_SOL is available on FTX.US.

Was the coin pre-mined before public launch?

• [x] Yes
• [ ] No

USDC issuance is entirely centralized.

Is there a dev fee for the project maintainers?

• [ ] Yes
• [x] No

While there is no dev fee, Circle can invest the USD deposits in various qualifying investments to earn interest.

Please provide resources about the project (Website, Twitter, etc)

Additional notes

USDC is entirely centralized, but it's an extremely common and useful asset for exchanges in particular. I believe it would be a powerful inclusion to support efficient markets.

Even though USDC is too centralized, it is a good pair to swap with XMR.
