How the USDC Optimism → ETC order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 200 USDC Optimism.
- Enter a ETC address in Ethereum Classic and a way to reach you.
- Send USDC Optimism in Optimism for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Ethereum Classic leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending USDC Optimism
- The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 200 USDC Optimism.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

Common questions: USDC Optimism → ETC
What rate does USDC Optimism to ETC run at?
As of Nov 1, 2026 02:19 it is 1 USDC Optimism = 0.141497 ETC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1.01.
What amounts does USDC Optimism → ETC accept?
From 200 to 10,000,000 USDC Optimism per order. The lower limit is roughly $200.00.
Where does the 200 USDC Optimism floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 200 USDC Optimism the swap stops making sense for either side.
What else is taken on top of the rate?
The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending USDC Optimism, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does USDC Optimism to ETC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Optimism confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is.
Which network will ETC arrive in?
Ethereum Classic leaves in its own Ethereum Classic network — a plain ETC address is all you need.
What if the rate moves while I am paying?
The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the USDC Optimism to ETC rate do this month?
The month came in at plus 25.42%. Low 0.111018, high 0.141005, middle 0.123942 ETC per USDC Optimism.
Can I go back, ETC to USDC Optimism?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETC = 7.1241 USDC Optimism. The link sits right under the calculator.
