Whether you are rebalancing, taking profit or moving into a new asset, swapping Ethereum Classic (ETC) to Tether USDT (ERC-20) on SecureShift takes just a few clicks. There is no sign-up and no identity verification — you send ETC from your own wallet and receive USDT ERC20 in yours, at a real-time market rate.
Converting ETC to USDT ERC20 is the most common way to lock in profits or step out of market volatility without cashing out to a bank. You keep your funds on-chain, pegged to the US dollar, and can swap back into ETC whenever you choose. Because Tether USDT (ERC-20) runs on Ethereum (ERC-20), future transfers only cost an Ethereum gas fee paid in ETH.
How to Swap ETC to USDT ERC20 on SecureShift
- Choose the pair. Select ETC in the “You send” field and USDT ERC20 in the “You get” field, then enter the amount of ETC you want to swap. The estimated USDT payout updates in real time.
- Pick a rate type. A floating rate follows the market and is usually slightly better; a fixed rate locks your USDT ERC20 amount for the duration of the swap so price swings cannot affect it.
- Enter your Tether USDT (ERC-20) address. Paste the Ethereum (ERC-20) address (0x…) where you want to receive USDT. Optionally add a refund address for ETC.
- Send your ETC. SecureShift generates a one-time Ethereum Classic deposit address. Send the exact amount from your wallet.
- Receive USDT ERC20. After the required network confirmations, the swap is executed and USDT is sent to your wallet. Track every step on the order page and in a block explorer.
What Is Ethereum Classic (ETC)?
Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum chain that kept running unchanged after the 2016 DAO fork, secured by Proof of Work and committed to the “code is law” principle. SecureShift supports ETC on its native Ethereum Classic network, so you send and receive it with a regular ETC wallet address.
What Is Tether USDT (ERC-20)?
USDT on Ethereum is the original and most liquid ERC-20 version of the world’s largest stablecoin. It is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and is accepted by virtually every DeFi protocol, wallet and exchange on Ethereum, which makes it the go-to stablecoin for on-chain trading and lending.

Once the swap is executed, USDT is broadcast on Ethereum (ERC-20), where blocks arrive every about 12 seconds.
