Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much USDC to send and enter your Ethereum address on Ethereum mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer USDC to the address on your order — after confirmations, ETH is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- ERC-20 USDC follows Ethereum confirmation times.
- Send USDC on Ethereum mainnet only for this route — not Polygon, Base, or Solana USDC.
- Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending USDC.
- ETH not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
USD Coin — regulated dollar stablecoin
USDC on Ethereum mainnet is a widely trusted stablecoin for DeFi and transfers — always use ERC-20 on Ethereum unless stated otherwise.
USDC on Ethereum mainnet
Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. L2 USDC is a different asset on-chain.
Gas fees apply to token transfers — ensure sufficient ETH balance.
Ethereum — programmable money on-chain
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.
What if my ETH hasn't arrived?
Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.
Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.
How fast is the ETH payout?
Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.
Receiving ETH on the correct network
- Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.
Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts
The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.
- Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
- Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap USDC to ETH?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for USD Coin to Ethereum swaps.
How long does USDC to ETH take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on ERC-20 on Ethereum and Ethereum mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is USDC to ETH non-custodial?
Yes. You send USDC from your wallet and receive ETH directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send USDC on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (ERC-20 on Ethereum for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
