Swap USDT from BNB Chain to USDC on Avalanche C-Chain

Swap USDT from BNB Chain to USDC on Avalanche C-Chain. You send Binance-Peg USDT on BNB Chain and you receive Circle's native USDC on Avalanche C-Chain.

Approve 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, the 18-decimal Tether peg. BscScan shows it on chain id 56. Gas is BNB. Blocks are about 3 seconds. Native USDC on C-Chain is 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E. Match the full string on Snowtrace. Chain id 43114, not the X-Chain. It is not an older bridged copy. Gas after arrival is AVAX. USDC will not pay it.

Diagram for Swap USDT from BNB Chain to USDC on Avalanche C-Chain
USDT leaves BNB Chain. USDC is what can arrive on Avalanche C-Chain.

Only the Tether peg is approved

0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 is the input. The USDC peg and native BNB are different routes. You also change issuer, from Tether to Circle. If you needed Tether to stay Tether on C-Chain, this page is the wrong tool. Keep BNB for the fee. Do not compare raw integers across 18 and 6 decimals.

Circle's contract on Snowtrace

0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E is native USDC on Avalanche C-Chain. A bridged copy can share the ticker. Snowtrace is where you compare the full address. The X-Chain will not list it. AVAX has to sit in the wallet or the USDC cannot move. BNB will not cover that fee.

AVAX is a different ending from this peg

So is staying on BNB Chain. This page is only Circle USDC on C-Chain. BNB Chain is the network you leave. The quote does not lock the Circle dollars and does not name a finish time. An X-Chain address is the wrong tool even if someone calls it Avalanche.

Issuer change, then an AVAX problem

BscScan proves the peg left. Snowtrace proves which USDC arrived. BNB pays the first side. AVAX pays the second. Read the minimum USDC before you sign. A 3 second block is not the whole route. If the floor is short, do not sign. Settlement stays on C-Chain only, chain id 43114 exactly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap USDT from BNB Chain to USDC on Avalanche C-Chain?

Approve 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, the 18-decimal Tether peg. BscScan shows it on chain id 56.

How do I tell this USDC from a bridged copy?

Match 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E on Snowtrace, chain id 43114. That is Circle's native USDC on C-Chain. A bridged copy can share the ticker and still be the wrong token. The input was 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 on BscScan. You need AVAX afterward. The X-Chain is not the network.

Does this keep my balance in Tether?

No. You sell the Tether peg and receive Circle USDC. If a desk asked for Tether on C-Chain, this route is the wrong tool. BscScan and Snowtrace will not show one shared balance. Gas out is BNB on chain id 56. Gas on C-Chain is AVAX, and USDC cannot pay it.

Can I move the USDC with no AVAX in the wallet?

No. Circle USDC at 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E does not pay gas. AVAX does, on chain id 43114. Snowtrace can show the token while a transfer fails. BNB left on BNB Chain does not help, and an X-Chain AVAX balance does not either. Add AVAX on C-Chain.
