About USD Coin
What USD Coin is, and why people buy it
USD Coin (USDC) is a stablecoin: a digital token designed to hold the value of one US dollar. It is issued by Circle, which publishes monthly reserve reports from an independent accounting firm showing the cash and short-term US Treasury holdings behind the tokens in circulation. USDC runs on Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polygon, and other networks, so it moves as fast as those networks do, around the clock.
People buy USDC to hold dollars in a wallet they control, to move dollars across borders in minutes without a bank in the middle, to park value between trades without leaving crypto, to earn on lending and DeFi platforms, and to pay for things priced in dollars. On this site, USDC is also one of the assets you can pay bills from directly.
Buy USDC from Coin Nerds, or sell it to us, online and across branch counters. Every purchase settles at the live rate on this page and is delivered to your own wallet within minutes of your payment clearing.
How to store USD Coin
USDC is delivered to a wallet you control, such as MetaMask or a hardware wallet. Because USDC exists on several networks and tokens sent to the wrong one are hard to recover, confirm the network with us on chat before you order and give us an address on that network. Write down the recovery phrase and keep it offline.
- Ticker
- USDC. Each token is designed to be worth one US dollar and divides into cents like a dollar.
- Launched
- September 2018, issued by Circle. It is one of the largest stablecoins by circulation.
- Reserves
- Backed by cash and short-term US Treasuries held with regulated financial institutions, with monthly third-party attestation reports published by the issuer.
- Networks
- Issued natively on Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and others; the same dollar, delivered on the network you choose.
- Peg
- Designed to hold one US dollar, with the issuer publishing the reserves behind it; on the open market it trades within a fraction of a cent of a dollar in normal conditions.
- Custody
- You hold USDC with a private key. Coin Nerds delivers to the wallet address you provide, so the dollars are yours from the first minute.
Protocol facts are public and current as of August 18, 2026. Prices on this page are the live Coin Nerds market feed.
Questions people ask
Buying USD Coin, answered
Anything not covered here, a real person is on chat 24/7.
Chat with a human, 24/7How do I buy USDC with Coin Nerds?
Three ways. Online: open an account, verify, enter the amount in the widget on this page, pay with any of 100+ methods, and the USDC lands in your wallet within minutes of the payment clearing. In the app: the same flow on your phone. In person: walk into a Coin Nerds branch with your ID and your wallet, pay in cash or by card or transfer, and leave with the coins already in your wallet.
Can I buy USDC with cash, near me?
Yes. Buy USDC with cash across the counter at any Coin Nerds branch, or through our agents in every major city worldwide, any amount, arranged over chat or by phone.
Do I need my own wallet to buy USDC?
Yes, and that is the point. Coin Nerds is non-custodial: your USDC is delivered to a wallet whose keys you hold, not to an exchange balance. If you do not have one yet, a real person is on chat to answer questions before your first order.
How much USDC can I buy, and how fast does it arrive?
Any fraction of a coin. Small orders go through the widget or the app at the live rate and arrive in your wallet within minutes of your payment clearing; orders of $50,000 or more go through the OTC desk for one locked price and a dedicated account manager. Same-day signup to first trade is standard.
Is it safe to buy USDC through Coin Nerds?
Coin Nerds, Inc. is a registered money services business regulated in multiple jurisdictions, with $3B+ settled since 2018 and 100K+ customers. Because purchases are delivered to your own wallet, there is no exchange balance to be frozen or lost. Every registration is published on our licenses page.
Is USDC always worth exactly one dollar?
It is designed to be, and its issuer publishes the reserves behind it every month. On the open market the price can move by a fraction of a cent in normal conditions, and it has traded below a dollar briefly during past market stress. The live rate is what you see in the widget when you buy.
Which network does my USDC arrive on?
USDC exists on several networks (Ethereum is the most widely accepted; Solana, Base, and Polygon are cheaper and faster to send on) and the same address format can exist on more than one. Confirm the network with us on chat before you order and give us an address on that network; tokens sent to the wrong network are hard to recover.
Why buy USDC instead of holding dollars in a bank?
It moves 24/7 anywhere in the world in minutes, it sits in a wallet you control, and it plugs into crypto markets and applications directly. It is not a bank deposit and is not insured like one; the trade-off is speed and control.
Can I pay bills with USDC?
Yes. Coin Nerds bill payment lets you pay utilities, phone, internet, and credit cards from USDC and other assets, with the biller receiving dollars. See the bill payment page.
