USDC is the regulated US-Treasury-backed stablecoin issued by Circle. For users who specifically prefer Circle's compliance posture over Tether's, USDC is a 1:1 alternative for funding CryptoCardy. The dollar value, settlement time, and gas economics are essentially identical to USDT-ERC20.

USDC vs USDT for top-ups

For cost optimisation, USDT TRC-20 beats both USDC and USDT-ERC20 on fees (by ~20x). For value stability, both USDC and USDT-ERC20 are equivalent.

Step by step

  1. Click Deposit, pick USD Coin (ERC-20).
  2. Send the displayed USDC amount to the Ethereum address (starts with 0x).
  3. Wait for 12 Ethereum confirmations (~3-10 minutes).
  4. Balance credits. Issue a card.

Chain matching reminder

USDC exists on multiple chains (Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, others). Our USDC deposit address is Ethereum-only. Do NOT send USDC from Solana or any other chain to our ERC-20 address — funds will be lost. We cannot recover cross-chain mis-sends.

Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions

Why use USDC over USDT?

Some users prefer Circle's regulatory posture and full attestation reports. For the 5-minute card-funding flow, the difference doesn't meaningfully manifest. Pick whichever stablecoin you already hold.

Can USDC freeze my deposit?

Circle can freeze USDC at the smart-contract level for specific addresses (typically following law-enforcement requests). Once your USDC has hit our deposit address and credited your balance, the funds are off the USDC chain — they live in your CryptoCardy balance and Circle can no longer affect them.

What if gas spikes?

Your tx confirms slower. We credit on 12 confirmations, however long that takes.

Is USDC on Solana / Polygon supported?

Not via the USDC menu — only ERC-20. We support USDT on multiple chains (ERC-20/TRC-20/Solana/BSC) but USDC is ERC-20 only for now.

Minimum?

$5 equivalent. Practically, with ERC-20 gas costs, don't go below $50.
