Swap Lightning to USDC

Pay one invoice, receive USDC where you want it.

Paying from Lightning is the quickest way in. You get an invoice, your wallet pays it, and the swap moves on immediately without waiting for Bitcoin confirmations.

Choose where the USDC should land before you pay. Arbitrum, Ethereum and Polygon settle directly, and the other networks are bridged from Arbitrum with Circle's transfer protocol.

The invoice is for an exact amount, so what you pay is what the quote showed.

How it works

  1. 1Enter an amount and the address that should receive the USDC.
  2. 2Pay the Lightning invoice we show you.
  3. 3We lock the matching tBTC on Arbitrum.
  4. 4The claim converts it to USDC and delivers it.

Questions

How long does a Lightning swap take?
The payment itself is instant. The USDC follows within about a minute, plus one or two minutes more when it is bridged to another network.
What if I pay after the invoice expires?
An expired invoice cannot be paid, so nothing leaves your wallet. Start a new swap for a fresh one.
Is there a minimum?
Yes, and the card shows it with the quote. Very small amounts are not worth the fees.
