USDC
Accept USDC (USD Coin) payments on your website
Add USDC and receive regulated, fully-reserved dollar stablecoin payments directly to your own wallet — no volatility, non-custodial, with no chargebacks.
Why accept USDC?
USDC (USD Coin) is a dollar-pegged stablecoin known for its emphasis on regulation, transparency and full reserves. Like USDT it removes volatility — a payment of 50 USDC is worth about $50 and stays that way — but it appeals particularly to businesses and customers who prioritize a stablecoin with regular attestations and a compliance-first reputation.
If your customers or your own accounting prefer a transparent, audited stablecoin, USDC is the natural choice. With Crypto IPG it settles non-custodially, straight to a wallet you control.

USDC on Ethereum vs Tron
USDC is issued on multiple networks. The two you'll most likely accept are:
- USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) — the most established home for USDC, widely supported across wallets and exchanges, but subject to Ethereum gas fees.
- USDC on Tron (TRC-20) — fast and very cheap to send, a good option when low fees matter.
