Okcoin becomes the first U.S. exchange to offer USDC deposits and withdrawals on Stellar, enabling faster and cheaper stablecoin transactions with near-zero fees and 5-second settlement times.
Okcoin announced it is now the first exchange in the U.S. to support USDC deposit and withdrawal via the Stellar blockchain. USDC on Stellar offers near-zero transaction costs and 5-second settlement finality, making it significantly faster and cheaper than traditional alternatives. The integration provides a critical on-ramp for retail and institutional customers across Okcoin's 190+ countries of service. This marks a key step in expanding access to faster, cheaper stablecoins and enabling new payment pathways on the Stellar network. The Stellar Development Foundation highlighted that this integration will help more users leverage USDC on Stellar for borderless payments and expanded use cases.
