We accept USDC: fast, private, and future-proof payments
Why USDC?
USDC is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Its main feature is stability: unlike other cryptocurrencies subject to wide fluctuations, USDC maintains a constant value thanks to the reserves backing it. This makes the payment experience much simpler and more predictable for both buyers and sellers.
One of the reasons we decided to introduce USDC in our store is its growing use in the world of e-commerce and international payments. More and more users choose stablecoins like USDC to avoid high fees, long waits, and banking restrictions.
Benefits for you
Choosing to pay in USDC offers you numerous concrete advantages:
- Speed: payments are almost instantaneous, even if coming from abroad.
- Privacy: paying with USDC requires less personal data than traditional methods.
- Global accessibility: those living outside Europe can shop on our site without worrying about unfavorable exchange rates.
- Reduced fees: often lower than international bank transfers or traditional gateways.
- Value stability: USDC does not experience the typical fluctuations of more volatile cryptos.

Why we chose to accept decentralized payments
Decentralization is a value we care deeply about. We believe in a future where customers have more control over their data and payment methods. USDC allows us to:
- offer a modern and international solution;
- reduce dependence on traditional banking systems;
- ensure greater transparency in transactions;
- to give customers a smoother and up-to-date experience.
Moreover, accepting USDC makes our store more accessible to global communities who prefer or need to use cryptocurrencies for logistical, economic, or privacy reasons.
Security, traceability, and guarantees
Security is an absolute priority. That’s why we use reliable providers compliant with international standards. Blockchain transactions are public and verifiable, yet at the same time do not reveal sensitive customer data. This balance represents one of USDC’s main strengths.
