USDC (USDC)

my process for getting USDC on Base off Metamask and onto Coinbase to send to @blend_capital: > try to send on Coinbase via Base, told I don't have enough eth even though there's $1 of eth in my acct and the transaction is sub penny > spend $10 buying more eth just in case > still don't have enough eth > swap some eth to Base token to see if I can get it to send > failed transaction, still not enough eth > wonder if I have to buy eth on Base but that doesn't exist > mean to swap to USDC on eth to see if I can send it to Coinbase but accidentally swap into straight eth on base > try to send eth on Base to Coinbase twice, failed transaction twice > swap eth on Base to eth on eth > send eth to CB on eth finally things get easier > sold eth for USD (I was considering putting straight into my bank acct but ultimately decided not to and to put it onto defi) > converted to USDC > sent to G address on Stellar > put into Blend the @MetaMask / @base experience was for real terrible. there's a reason why centralized exchanges wind up winning. I don't even know whose fault it was but I feel like I needed several degrees to get through that. we're still in the "we need products that work" phase of crypto

The debate about enterprise stablecoins usually focuses on USDC and USDT. But stablecoins not tied to the dollar —such as euro, Mexican peso, or Australian dollar— are gaining ground in specific markets. Polygon accounts for more than 43% of the volume in this segment. https://t.co/mjWaUzkabI

💸 Nium integrates Coinbase for USDC-powered global payments. Nium has integrated Coinbase's infrastructure to enable cross-border payments using $USDC, according to Cointelegraph. The move allows businesses to settle transactions in fiat or stablecoins without requiring prefunded accounts.

End of day thought. While everyone chases the next farm with a 200% APY and a 4-day window, the quiet compounding on 10-16% self-custodial stables adds up way more over a year. → USDC vault: base 8%, up to 12% with boosts → AUSD vault: base 12%, up to 16% with boosts Boring wins quietly. That's a lesson I keep relearning. https://t.co/RHKxgWqNXC
