Swap USDC to ETH

Exchange USDC from Ethereum into ETH on OP Mainnet. The provider waits for the USDC deposit before arranging the ETH payout on the destination network. Track those as separate transactions rather than using a sending-chain confirmation as proof of receipt.

Address and network checks

Both Ethereum and OP Mainnet use EVM-style addresses. An identical address string cannot confirm the network. Check Ethereum in the sending wallet and OP Mainnet in the receiving wallet separately.

Sending USDC

Choose Ethereum mainnet in the wallet. Base, Arbitrum and OP Mainnet use separate balances even when the account address looks identical. Confirm the destination supports the exact USDC version returned by the provider. In particular, do not assume USDC, USDC.e and Binance-Peg representations are interchangeable.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Ethereum, allow for network fees in ETH, separately from your USDC balance. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving ETH

Select OP Mainnet, often labeled Optimism. Its ETH balance and token balances are separate from those on Ethereum mainnet. Native ETH and wrapped Ether (WETH) are different assets. Use the ETH balance on the selected network; do not substitute WETH for an ETH deposit. This listed ETH/Optimism option has no separate memo field. If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

Refund address for this pair

SENDING ASSET

USDC on Ethereum

USDC is Circle’s dollar-referenced stablecoin. Native USDC and bridged representations can coexist, so a familiar ticker alone is not enough to identify a deposit asset.

RECEIVING ASSET

Ethereum on OP Mainnet

Ether is used for transaction fees and staking on Ethereum. ETH is also available on several separate networks in this directory, so the network is part of the asset you select.

Native ETH and wrapped Ether (WETH) are different assets. Use the ETH balance on the selected network; do not substitute WETH for an ETH deposit.

How much ETH will I get for USDC?

Does a confirmed USDC deposit mean my ETH has arrived?

No. Deposit confirmation on Ethereum, provider processing and payout on OP Mainnet are separate steps. Use Track swap to see the order status, then check the ETH balance on the receiving network. A live quote or historical route check does not guarantee completion time.
