Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the XLM amount and paste your USD Coin payout address on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send XLM to that deposit. After confirmations, USDC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
- A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
- Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
- USDC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
Sending XLM on Stellar
Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.
If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.
USD Coin — regulated dollar stablecoin
USDC on Ethereum mainnet is a widely trusted stablecoin for DeFi and transfers — always use ERC-20 on Ethereum unless stated otherwise.
USDC not credited?
Verify your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and the token contract matches official USDC on Ethereum.
When will USDC arrive?
ERC-20 USDC payouts follow Ethereum block times — usually minutes after your deposit confirms.
- Confirm your wallet is set to Ethereum mainnet, not Polygon, Base, or another L2.
- Add the official USDC token contract in your wallet if the balance does not appear automatically.
- Check the payout tx hash on Etherscan if your wallet shows no incoming transfer.
Why traders swap into USDC
USDC is widely used in DeFi and on exchanges that prefer a regulated dollar stablecoin.
On Ethereum mainnet it pairs naturally with ETH gas and most ERC-20 trading pairs.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade XLM for USDC?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Stellar → USD Coin.
How long is a XLM → USDC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Stellar mainnet and ERC-20 on Ethereum confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody XLM or USDC?
No. You send XLM yourself and USDC is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong XLM network?
Match the network printed on the order (Stellar mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
