Swapping Tezos for USD Coin: what you need to know
Exchanging XTZ for USDC ERC20 locks in the dollar value of your Tezos and takes price swings out of the picture. At ROVEN exchange you receive USDC straight to your own wallet at a rate known in advance.
Tezos (XTZ) is a smart contract blockchain that upgrades through holder votes, without hard forks. USDC ERC20 is Circle’s regulated stablecoin on Ethereum, with reserves attested monthly.
Why swap XTZ for USDC ERC20
Moving into USDC ERC20 protects your capital from a drop in XTZ and makes settlements simpler: dollar amounts are clear to everyone involved. USDC is convenient for settlements, storage and moving funds between platforms.
Networks and addresses

What to watch out for
