  No, USDC is not considered a security by regulators. It is a stablecoin that is backed by a reserve of US dollars, and its value is pegged to the US dollar. As a result, it is treated as a digital currency rather than a security. This means that USDC is subject to the regulations and oversight that apply to cryptocurrencies, but it is not subject to the same level of scrutiny as securities.
