Swap Ethereum (ETH) to USD Coin (USDC)

ETH → USDC routing details
Monivo requests quotes from every connected liquidity provider for this route and shows the one that pays out the most USDC. The amount shown is an estimate that depends on the rate type you pick and the provider's own terms; it is confirmed in the widget above before you send anything, with zero added fees on top of the rate you see. The selected provider receives your deposit and settles the payout.

Fixed rate or floating rate for ETH → USDC?
Fixed rate
The USDC amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your ETH 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 ETH 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 ETH to USDC
Check the ETH deposit network and the USDC payout network before confirming.
- Send ETH on the quoted network
- Mainnet ETH and L2 ETH are separate routes. Send on exactly the network named in the quote.
- Choose the USDC network
- USDC exists on several chains. Pick one 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.

Network fees explained
Sending ETH
Your wallet charges Ethereum gas when sending ETH. ETH on an L2 such as Arbitrum or Base is a different deposit route from mainnet.
Receiving USDC
