How the USDC Optimism → ETH order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 200 USDC Optimism.
- Enter a ETH address in Ethereum 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 leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending USDC Optimism
- The address network is Ethereum. 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 → ETH
What rate does USDC Optimism to ETH run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 21:23 it is 1 USDC Optimism = 0.000407247 ETH. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1.00.
What amounts does USDC Optimism → ETH accept?
From 200 to 10,000,000 USDC Optimism per order. The lower limit is roughly $199.92.
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 ETH 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 ETH arrive in?
Ethereum leaves in its own Ethereum network — a plain ETH address is all you need.
Where is receiving ETH cheaper?
The cheapest is usually ETH BEP20, ETH Arbitrum, ETH Optimism. Still, the network is chosen by what the recipient supports, not by the fee.
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 ETH rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 22.22%. Low 0.000395963, high 0.000522765, middle 0.000414709 ETH per USDC Optimism.
Can I go back, ETH to USDC Optimism?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETH = 2,475.26 USDC Optimism. The link sits right under the calculator.
