Coinbase Encourages Users to Switch USDT for USDC
By:C, FionaCoinbase wants customers to use its own stablecoin USD Coin (USDC) instead of Tether (USDT).
Coinbase is waiving the conversion fees for users that wish to switch to a “trusted stablecoin” in a new campaign that highlights the quality of reserves that back Circle-owned USD Coin (USDC).
“The events of the past few weeks have put some stablecoins to the test and we’ve seen a flight to safety,” Coinbase said in blog post published Friday morning Asia time. “We believe that USD Coin (USDC) is a trusted and reputable stablecoin.”
Coinbase said starting today it’s waiving fees for global retail customers to convert USDT to USDC.
Coinbase is a co-founder of USDC.
On-chain data shows that USDT is the third-most widely traded digital asset on Coinbase, representing 5% of the volume on the exchange, where it currently trades for 99 cents.
Days after the FTX collapse, Tether (USDT) was knocked off its peg and traded as low as 93 cents. The majority of trading pairs on exchanges have returned to $1, though CoinGecko data shows that it continues to trade at 99 cents on some pairs at Binance.
In late September, Tether was ordered by a U.S. judge in New York to produce financial records relating to the backing of USDT. This is separate from the lawsuit before the New York Supreme Court that’s asking for the New York Attorney General to release documents it gathered in its investigation into Tether’s reserves.
Lately, crypto exchange Binance has stopped supporting USDC, auto-converting customer holdings into its own stablecoin, BUSD.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
