Swap USD Coin (USDC) to Tether (USDT)

Swapping USD Coin (USDC) to Tether (USDT) moves between the two largest dollar stablecoins. They are issued by different companies (Circle and Tether), so a swap is a real trade with provider and network costs — the amount you receive is shown in the quote, not guaranteed 1:1.

Fixed rate or floating rate for USDC → USDT?

Fixed rate

The USDT amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your USDC 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 USDC deposit lands. It can pay out more USDT than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.

What to check before swapping USDC to USDT

Because both sides aim for one dollar, costs and networks decide the outcome more than price movement.

Expect less than 1:1
Provider spread and network costs mean you usually receive slightly less USDT than the USDC you send. Check the estimated payout before confirming.
Match networks on both sides
Send USDC on the network the deposit address expects, and receive USDT on a network your wallet supports.
Compare the USDT payout, not the headline rate
Judge quotes by the estimated USDT you receive and read the fixed or floating terms. A floating estimate can move while your deposit confirms; a fixed quote has an expiry.

Sending USDC

Sending USDC costs the gas token of its network, for example ETH on Ethereum or SOL on Solana. Keep enough in the sending wallet.
