About USD Coin
USDC is issued by Circle, headquartered in the US and under US banking-adjacent regulation. Reserves are held in cash and short-duration Treasuries, audited monthly. Circle has the technical ability to freeze USDC balances at specific addresses (used historically at OFAC request and in response to exploits). This centralisation risk is well-understood and is the main reason some users prefer USDT or decentralised stables.
How to swap USDC without KYC
- Hold USDC on Ethereum (or Solana, Polygon, etc.) in a self-custody wallet.
- Open the widget, USDC as send, pick destination.
- Verify both networks. Send, receive.
