Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to OP Mainnet (Optimism).
To move USDC on later, put a little ETH at the same address.
Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

What lands at your address	USDC in OP Mainnet (Optimism)	The same stablecoin; turning USDT into USDC is a separate step
Wallet and signatures	Not needed: the coins go to the address from the order	Needed: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions
A coin for fees in OP Mainnet (Optimism)	Not needed to receive	Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on
Timing	After confirmations in Solana; the order page tracks it	Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks
Who holds the funds meanwhile	RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check	The bridge contract or its validators
