How the swap works
-
Type the USDC amount and paste your Stellar payout address on Stellar mainnet.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast USDC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, XLM is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- ERC-20 USDC follows Ethereum confirmation times.
- Send USDC on Ethereum mainnet only for this route β not Polygon, Base, or Solana USDC.
- Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending USDC.
- If XLM has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
USD Coin β issued dollar stablecoin
USDC on Ethereum mainnet is a widely trusted stablecoin for DeFi and transfers β always use ERC-20 on Ethereum unless stated otherwise.
USDC on Ethereum mainnet
Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. L2 USDC is a different asset on-chain.
Gas fees apply to token transfers β ensure sufficient ETH balance.
Stellar β fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network β built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.

Frequently asked questions
Does USDC to XLM require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for USD Coin to Stellar.
How long until XLM arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. ERC-20 on Ethereum deposit confirmations and Stellar mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold USDC or XLM for me?
No. You send USDC from a wallet you control and XLM is paid to the address you provide β PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send USDC on the wrong chain?
Use ERC-20 on Ethereum exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
