Okcoin becomes the first US 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, a major global cryptocurrency exchange serving 190+ countries, has launched Stellar USDC, becoming the first US exchange to enable USDC deposits and withdrawals via the Stellar network. The integration provides retail and institutional users with access to USDC on Stellar, which offers near-zero transaction costs and approximately 5-second settlement times compared to traditional stablecoin transfers. This partnership with the Stellar Development Foundation expands access to faster, cheaper cross-border payments and represents a critical on-ramp for US customers seeking to leverage Stellar's payment infrastructure. The move reflects growing adoption of USDC on Stellar by businesses and wallets across the network.
