Cambio delivers the most here — 0.33% more than ChangeHero, and it stated its network fee, so this figure is after that fee rather than before it. It is also the fastest, at about 5 minutes.

Network fee — a stated amount is what the exchange returned, and the figure shown is after it. “included” means the exchange’s own price already contains its network fee, not itemised. “not stated” means its API returned no fee, so that amount is a ceiling rather than a promise.

Every row is what that exchange would pay for this exact size, quoted live from its own API at the time shown and ranked by what lands in your wallet. The bar is each row’s all-in cost against the market rate at that moment, drawn to one scale — ours included.

THIS CORRIDOR, IN NUMBERS

ETH on Ethereum → USDC on Arbitrum

What ETH → USDC actually costs

  • You send 0.1 ETH on Ethereum.
  • You receive 254.906896 USDC.
  • The smallest swap this corridor accepts is 0.066 ETH.

Why this pair behaves the way it does

Ethereum confirms in seconds per block, and 4 confirmations is enough to make a reorganisation impractical without leaving your ETH sitting there.

USDC on Arbitrum is a token, so sending it also needs Arbitrum's own coin for gas. Cambio funds that separately, which is why the USDC side is capped by what the wallet holds rather than by a policy number.

Floor on Arbitrum: 0.35%. Below that the corridor stops covering settlement.

USDC on Arbitrum carries 6 decimals, so every amount on this page is quoted to that precision and no further.

How long ETH on Ethereum takes to clear

Cambio waits 4 confirmations on Ethereum, then sends the payout immediately. End to end this corridor typically takes ~5 min.

The two coins

What you’re actually swapping.

Two different assets, two different on-chain stories. Here’s the minimum you should know before you send anything.

ETH
Ethereum native

ETH is the gas coin and settlement asset of Ethereum. Sending ETH is an ordinary native transfer — no token approval, no contract interaction. Ethereum confirms in well under a minute, and you need ETH on L1 to move ERC20 tokens there.

  • NetworkEthereum
  • Confirmations needed4
  • Average block time~12-second blocks
USDC
Arbitrum ERC20 (Arbitrum)

USDC on Arbitrum is issuer-native USDC (not a bridged wrapper). The network confirms in seconds, with L2 fees — a fraction of Ethereum L1 gas — and Circle mints it directly on Arbitrum rather than bridging it over.

Questions

ETH to USDC on Arbitrum — frequently asked.

Does this route use a bridge?

No. Your ETH goes to a Cambio deposit address on Ethereum as an ordinary transfer, and you receive USDC on Arbitrum as an ordinary Arbitrum transaction. No bridge contract, no wrapped assets, no cross-chain messages.

What’s the end-to-end time?

The deposit side on Ethereum confirms in well under a minute; the payout on Arbitrum confirms in seconds. The status card tracks every stage live — detection, confirmation, payout — so you are never guessing which side you are waiting on.

Do I need to verify my identity?

No account or sign-up is needed. Every swap is screened against sanctions and on-chain risk lists before a deposit address is issued; in line with applicable law and our risk-based AML policy, identity verification may be requested where screening flags elevated risk.

What is the maximum I can swap?

There is no fixed per-swap cap. The most you can send on this pair is shown in the table above and recalculated on every quote, so it always reflects what we can settle right now.

Can I receive the USDC into an exchange account?

Yes — on the exchange’s deposit screen pick USDC and make sure the network is Arbitrum (ERC20 (Arbitrum)), then paste that deposit address into the Cambio composer as your destination. If the network on the exchange side doesn’t match, don’t send — ask the AI and it will walk you through it.

What makes Cambio better on this route?

Every quote ships with a live comparison against the biggest instant exchanges — including when we lose — and the number on the card is the number that settles. Pricing is chain-aware, the route has no bridge exposure, and screening happens before your deposit, never after.
