Swap USDC from Ethereum to USDT on BNB Chain
Swap USDC from Ethereum to USDT on BNB Chain. Traders who need Tether on chain 56 send Circle USDC from Ethereum and receive BSC-USD.
This page is for a BNB Chain wallet that must hold Tether. A mainnet pool is the right tool when you only want to rotate Circle dollars into Tether on Ethereum, because that book already exists. You approve 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Etherscan. You receive 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, which BscScan lists as BSC-USD. That token uses 18 decimals. Circle USDC on Ethereum uses 6. Gas to send is ETH on chain id 1, where blocks land about every 12 seconds. Switch the receiving wallet to chain id 56 before you look for BSC-USD.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDC from Ethereum to USDT on BNB Chain?
This page is for a BNB Chain wallet that must hold Tether. A mainnet pool is the right tool when you only want to rotate Circle dollars into Tether on Ethereum, because that book already exists.
Why does the USDT balance look huge or tiny on BNB Chain?
BSC-USD at 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 uses 18 decimals. Circle USDC on Ethereum uses 6, and Ethereum Tether uses 6. A wallet pointed at the wrong decimal count will shift the displayed amount by many zeros. Open the contract on BscScan and read the decimals field before you send it onward.
Can I pay the BNB Chain fee with the USDT I receive?
The received token is Tether, an ERC-20. Gas on chain id 56 is BNB. If the destination wallet has no BNB, the USDT can sit there until you add gas. Fund a small BNB balance, or choose a route whose output is native BNB, before you plan a second transaction on that chain.
Is this the same trade as USDC to USDT on Ethereum?
The tickers look alike and the job is different. On Ethereum you would swap Circle USDC for Tether at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7. This route spends the Ethereum USDC contract and delivers BSC-USD on BNB Chain. Use it when that destination contract is the balance you need.
