Fixed rate or floating rate for BTC → USDC?

Fixed rate

The USDC amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your BTC deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote as long as you send on time and within the quoted limits. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.

Floating rate

The swap executes at the market rate when your BTC deposit lands. It can pay out more USDC than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.

What to check before swapping BTC to USDC

Bitcoin confirmations and the USDC network are the two things to plan for.

Bitcoin confirmations take time
The provider waits for your BTC to confirm before paying out, so a floating estimate can move meanwhile. A fixed quote holds the amount until it expires.
Choose the USDC network
Pick a USDC network your wallet supports and paste a matching address.
Compare the USDC payout, not the headline rate
Judge quotes by the estimated USDC you receive and read the fixed or floating terms. A floating estimate can move while your deposit confirms; a fixed quote has an expiry.
