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 e-commerce and international payments. More and more users choose stablecoins like USDC to avoid high costs, long waits, and banking restrictions.

-
