If you are new and do not hold any USDC, you will first need to buy USDC and here’s what you need to do:
Select crypto exchanges that support fiat-to-crypto exchange:
Binance
PancakeSwap
Gate.io
KuCoin
In this example, we will use https://www.gate.io/buy_crypto for demonstration purposes.
Under https://www.gate.io/buy_crypto, there are 3 ways to buy selected cryptocurrencies, that is, via credit card, bank transfer and P2P trading.
Note: It is best recommended to purchase USDC via credit or bank transfer if you are a first-timer since P2P trading is a peer-to-peer trading between users.
Create an account on the chosen exchange by providing the necessary personal and financial information.
After verifying your account, fund your account with fiat currency (such as USD) or cryptocurrency (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum) to purchase USDC.
Navigate the trading platform and search for USDC in the list of available cryptocurrencies.
Place an order to buy USDC using the funds you have deposited in your account.
Once the transaction is completed, you will receive USDC in your exchange wallet.
