# Why Crypto?
> Why Polymarket uses crypto and blockchain technology to create the worlds largest Prediction market.
Polymarket operates on Polygon, a proof-of-stake layer two blockchain built on [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org). All transactions are denominated in USDC, a US-dollar pegged stablecoin.
This architecture offers several advantages over traditional prediction markets:
## Why USDC?
### Stable Value
Polymarket denominates trades in USDC, which is pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. This shields you from the volatility associated with other cryptocurrencies and offers a stable medium for trading.
### Regulated Reserves
USDC operates in adherence to regulatory standards and is backed by reserved assets.
### Transparency
Blockchain technology facilitates transparency, as all transactions are recorded publicly.
### Global Reach
Research has shown that wide availability of prediction markets increases their accuracy. Using decentralized blockchain technology removes the need for a central authority in trading, which fosters fairness and open participation around the globe.
