USDC Historical Data Price Chart
Whether you are rebalancing, taking profit or moving into a new asset, swapping Stellar (XLM) to USD Coin (USDC) on SecureShift takes just a few clicks. There is no sign-up and no identity verification — you send XLM from your own wallet and receive USDC in yours, at a real-time market rate.
Converting XLM to USDC 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 XLM whenever you choose. Because USD Coin runs on Ethereum (ERC-20), future transfers only cost an Ethereum gas fee paid in ETH.
How to Swap XLM to USDC on SecureShift
- Choose the pair. Select XLM in the “You send” field and USDC in the “You get” field, then enter the amount of XLM you want to swap. The estimated USDC 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 USDC amount for the duration of the swap so price swings cannot affect it.
- Enter your USD Coin address. Paste the Ethereum (ERC-20) address (0x…) where you want to receive USDC. Optionally add a refund address for XLM.
- Send your XLM. SecureShift generates a one-time Stellar deposit address. Send the exact amount from your wallet and include the memo / destination tag shown on the order page.
- Receive USDC. After the required network confirmations, the swap is executed and USDC is sent to your wallet. Track every step on the order page and in a block explorer.
What Is Stellar (XLM)?
Stellar (XLM) is the native asset of the Stellar network, built for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and asset issuance. SecureShift supports XLM on its native Stellar network, so you send and receive it with a regular XLM wallet address.
What Is USD Coin (USDC)?
USD Coin is a fully reserved, dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Circle. USDC publishes regular reserve attestations and is widely integrated across DeFi, payment apps and institutional platforms, making it a favourite for users who want a transparent, regulated-style digital dollar.

How Long Does a XLM to USDC Swap Take?
Most XLM to USDC exchanges complete in about 5–30 minutes. The biggest factor is how quickly your XLM deposit is confirmed: the Stellar network network has a block time of varies by network, and SecureShift waits for the required network confirmations before releasing funds. Once the swap is executed, USDC is broadcast on Ethereum (ERC-20), where blocks arrive every about 12 seconds. Busy network periods or a low fee on your deposit can add some time — you can always follow progress live on the order page.
XLM to USDC Fees and Rates
SecureShift has no hidden charges. The service fee is already included in the rate you see before you confirm, so the USDC amount shown is what you should expect to receive (on a fixed rate it is guaranteed). The only other costs are the blockchain fees: a network fee paid in XLM when you send XLM, and the Ethereum (ERC-20) fee for delivering your USDC, which is also built into the quote.
Tips for a Safe XLM → USDC Exchange
- Copy your XLM address directly from your wallet and verify the first and last characters before confirming the order.
- USDC exists on many chains — check that the network shown on SecureShift matches the network of your receiving wallet.
- Send XLM only on the network shown on the order page (Stellar network). Deposits on another chain are not detected automatically.
- Send the deposit within the order time window, especially if you chose a fixed rate.
- Always add a refund address — if anything goes wrong, your XLM can be returned without contacting support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. SecureShift is non-custodial: you send XLM from your own wallet and receive USDC directly in yours, so your funds are never held in an exchange account. Every order has a unique deposit address and can be tracked on-chain from start to finish.
Usually 5–30 minutes. The main factor is the confirmation time of your Stellar deposit (the required network confirmations); after that the USDC payout is sent immediately on Ethereum (ERC-20).
No. You can swap XLM to USDC without registering and without identity verification. All you need is a USD Coin wallet address to receive your funds.
The SecureShift fee and the Ethereum (ERC-20) payout fee are already included in the rate shown before you confirm. The only extra cost is the network fee your own wallet charges to send XLM.
A fixed rate locks the amount of USDC you will receive for the duration of the order, protecting you from price moves. A floating rate follows the market until your deposit is confirmed and is usually slightly better, but the final amount can change a little.
Use the network shown on the SecureShift order page — Ethereum (ERC-20). Make sure your wallet supports that exact network, because stablecoins sent on the wrong chain may not be recoverable.
