Swap USDC to ETH

Convert USDC into ETH while keeping the sending and receiving sides on Base. The two balances are different assets: transferring USDC to your own ETH receiving address does not perform the exchange. Fund only the provider’s generated order address.

Quote checked on 2026-10-09 with 130.295 USDC. Enter your amount to check current availability.

Address and network checks

Use the order’s Base deposit address for USDC, and your own Base receiving address for ETH. Keep the refund address on Base; the payout address is not automatically a valid refund destination.

Sending USDC

Switch the wallet to Base. ETH on Ethereum mainnet cannot pay the normal gas fee for a separate token transfer on Base. Confirm the destination supports the exact USDC version returned by the provider. In particular, do not assume USDC, USDC.e and Binance-Peg representations are interchangeable.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Base, allow for network fees in ETH, separately from your USDC balance. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving ETH

Switch the wallet to Base. ETH on Ethereum mainnet cannot pay the normal gas fee for a separate token transfer on Base. Native ETH and wrapped Ether (WETH) are different assets. Use the ETH balance on the selected network; do not substitute WETH for an ETH deposit. This listed ETH/base option has no separate memo field. If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

Refund address for this pair

Enter a refund address that accepts USDC on base. The refund is sent in USDC on base; verify that your refund wallet supports this exact asset and network.

SENDING ASSET

USDC on Base

USDC is Circle’s dollar-referenced stablecoin. Native USDC and bridged representations can coexist, so a familiar ticker alone is not enough to identify a deposit asset.

RECEIVING ASSET

Ethereum on Base

Ether is used for transaction fees and staking on Ethereum. ETH is also available on several separate networks in this directory, so the network is part of the asset you select.
