USDC to OP

Live USDC to OP rate and quote

This route converts USD Coin (USDC) into Optimism (OP) with non-custodial execution. Use the live quote above to account for current market liquidity, network load, and route availability before you confirm.

Step-by-step: complete your swap

1. Choose how much USD Coin (USDC) you want to send and select a flow type. Fixed helps with predictability; standard can be better during calm books.
2. Enter a valid Optimism (OP) receiving address and confirm the network context shown in the selector.
3. Create the swap to generate a one-time deposit address and any extra fields (memo/tag) required for settlement.
4. Send USD Coin (USDC), wait for confirmation rules on that chain, then Optimism (OP) is released to your destination address.
