Preliminary figure: the final amount is locked in the order.

Right now 1 ETC gets you 6.8605 USDC Optimism; the other way round, 1 USDC Optimism is 0.145761 ETC. Over 24 hours ETC/USDC Optimism came in at plus 2.75%. Over the week, minus 0.93%.

The weekly range ran from 6.5471 to 7.4543 USDC Optimism, a spread of 13.86%. One order takes from 10.8538 to 1,460,000 ETC. In dollars that is roughly $74.24.

The robot sends the payout in the Optimism network, so the address has to belong to that network — a transfer to another one will not arrive. Market capitalisation puts Ethereum Classic at No. 70 ($1.09 B) and USD Coin at No. 5 ($70.09 B). Over 90 days the daily moves of ETC and USDC correlate at 0 (they travel apart).

Which network USDC arrives in

The same USDC goes out in several networks. Each has its own rate and its own floor, and the fee is charged by the network itself.

How the ETC → USDC Optimism exchange runs

Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 10.8538 ETC.
Give a USDC address on Optimism and a contact for the order.

Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends USD Coin to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap ETC for USDC Optimism

Check this before sending ETC

The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
The transfer must not be smaller than 10.8538 ETC.
Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

Common questions: ETC → USDC Optimism

What rate does ETC to USDC Optimism run at?

As of Nov 10, 2026 13:29 it is 1 ETC = 6.8605 USDC Optimism. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $6.86.

What amounts does ETC → USDC Optimism accept?

From 10.8538 to 1,460,000 ETC per order. The floor is roughly $74.24.

Why can I not swap less than 10.8538 ETC?

The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 10.8538 ETC they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.

Is anything charged on top of the rate?

No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending ETC, and the blockchain takes that one.

How long does swapping ETC for USDC Optimism take?

The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Ethereum Classic confirms your transfer, the order goes out for payout with no operator involved. After that the timing is set by how busy the network is — which is the difference between quick and instant.

Which network will USDC Optimism arrive in?

The payout goes out on Optimism. Check that the receiving wallet supports that network.

Which network is cheaper for receiving USDC?

Usually USDC SOL, USDC Arbitrum, USDC BEP20, USDC AVAX C, USDC Optimism, USDC Polygon works out cheaper. Still, the network is picked by what the recipient accepts, not by the fee.

What happens if the rate moves while I am paying?

Nothing: the rate is locked in the order and holds for as long as the order is alive. It is recalculated only if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.

What did the ETC to USDC Optimism rate do over the month?

Over the month, minus 20.69%: a low of 6.6411, a high of 8.4918, an average of 7.5979 USDC Optimism per 1 ETC.
