Should I keep money in USDC?

I've been hearing a lot about USDC recently and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to keep some of my money in it. Could you please explain what USDC is and how it works? Also, what are the risks involved in holding USDC? I'm particularly concerned about its stability and whether it could potentially lose value. I'd also like to know if there are any benefits to holding USDC, like earning interest or having better transaction speeds. Overall, I'm just trying to make an informed decision about whether to invest in USDC or not. Could you help me with that?
