Swap USDC from Solana to ETH on BNB Chain
Swap USDC from Solana to ETH on BNB Chain. Circle's SPL mint leaves Solana, and Binance-Peg Ethereum Token is what can arrive. That token is not native ETH and it does not pay gas.
You spend EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v in Phantom, with Solscan as the explorer and no ERC-20 approval. The arrival contract is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 on BNB Chain, chain id 56. BscScan is the check. Blocks are about 3 seconds. Gas is BNB, the sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, not this peg. Ethereum mainnet ETH is chain id 1, about 12 second blocks, on Etherscan, and this route does not deliver it.
The ticker ETH here is a pegged ERC-20
Three second blocks belong to BNB Chain alone
SOL out, BNB in, and the peg is neither

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDC from Solana to ETH on BNB Chain?
You spend EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v in Phantom, with Solscan as the explorer and no ERC-20 approval. The arrival contract is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 on BNB Chain, chain id 56.
Is ETH on BNB Chain the same as ETH on Ethereum?
No. The arrival is Binance-Peg Ethereum Token at 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 on chain id 56. Native ETH on Ethereum is chain id 1, about 12 second blocks, explorer Etherscan. This peg does not pay gas. BNB does. Circle's mint left Solana. Check BscScan, not Etherscan. A block interval is not a delivery time for the bridge.
Can this pegged ETH pay BNB Chain fees?
No. Gas is native BNB, quoted as 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. The peg is an ERC-20. Hold BNB before you move it. About 3 second blocks describe chain id 56, not the bridge. Phantom will not display the peg. There is no ERC-20 approval on the Solana USDC mint.
When should I avoid this ETH route?
When you needed native ETH on Ethereum, WETH on mainnet, or BNB for fees. The peg will not satisfy those jobs. It is also wrong if you needed a dollar token such as pegged USDT. Read the minimum before you sell Circle's mint EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v, and confirm the contract on BscScan.
