Step-by-step: swap ETH to USDC

  1. Step 1

    Pick the ETH → USDC pair

    Select ETH as the asset you're sending and USDC as the asset you want to receive. Confirm the network on each side — USDC on the wrong network can mean lost funds.

  2. Step 2

    Get a live aggregated quote

    Monivo polls every connected provider and shows the best ETH/USDC output for your amount, including the network fee and the exact USDC you'll receive.

  3. Step 3

    Paste your USDC wallet address

    Enter the wallet that should receive your USDC. Double-check the first and last 6 characters — it must be a valid USD Coin (USDC) address.

  4. Step 4

    Choose fixed or floating rate

    For a stablecoin payout, a floating rate is usually cheapest. Use a fixed rate if you want the USDC amount locked before you deposit.

  5. Step 5

    Send your ETH deposit

    Send the exact ETH amount to the one-time deposit address shown. ETH typically confirms within 5–20 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Receive your USDC

    Once confirmed, the swap executes automatically and USDC is pushed directly to your wallet — no withdrawal step.

Fees, rates, and safety

A ETH→USDC swap has two cost layers: the Ethereum network fee, and the provider spread baked into the quote. Aggregated routing shows the all-in USDC you receive up front, so compare the net payout — not the headline rate. Use a fixed rate to lock the price before depositing, or a floating rate to settle at market when your deposit confirms. Always verify the destination network and the first and last 6 characters of your USDC address before sending.
