Aave community proposal recommends adding native USDC to the V3 Base market

Aave community member EzR3aL initiated a temperature check proposal on the governance forum to add native USDC to the Aave V3 Base market. Currently, the Aave V3 Base market only supports the bridged version of USDC called "USDbC". As of November 23, the supply of USDC on Base was 159 million, while the supply of the bridged version was approximately 74 million. Coinbase supports both assets and converts USDbC to USDC when users withdraw from Coinbase, causing the supply of USDbC to decrease over time.
