Common questions: USDC Optimism → USDT BEP20

What amounts does USDC Optimism → USDT BEP20 accept?

From 100.67 to 10,000,000 USDC Optimism per order. The floor is roughly $100.67.

Why can I not swap less than 100.67 USDC Optimism?

Not to receive. BNB comes in handy later, when you decide to move USDT from your address.

Which network is cheaper for receiving USDT?
