Same USDC, different network — without a bridge. Deposit on Ethereum, and the payout settles to you directly on Arbitrum. No wrapped tokens, no bridge contract, no funds in transit.
Live rate, no account, and an order ID to track it — or skip the form and just tell our AI the swap you want.
USDC → USDC
Live rateNo accounts, no waiting. Tell Cambio what you want, send your USDC, and the USDC lands in your wallet in under a minute.
Type "swap 100 USDC to USDC on Arbitrum" into the composer. The AI parses your intent, confirms Ethereum as the source and Arbitrum as the destination, and returns a live quote with the full competitor comparison alongside it.
You get a single-use Ethereum deposit address. One ordinary transfer of USDC — the network confirms in well under a minute — and the status card walks through detection and confirmation as it happens.
Once your deposit confirms, the payout goes out to your Arbitrum address directly — Arbitrum confirms in seconds. No bridge hop, no wrapped assets, no waiting on a second protocol.

Cambio delivers the most here — 0.20% 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.
Ethereum confirms in seconds per block, and 4 confirmations is enough to make a reorganisation impractical without leaving your USDC 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.
It is the same USDC on either side, but not the same object: what you send lives in Ethereum's ledger, and what you receive is issued separately on Arbitrum.
Worth checking before you send: on Ethereum the token is 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48, and the USDC you receive on Arbitrum is 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831.
Ethereum needs 4 confirmations before Cambio releases your USDC; that wait, not the Arbitrum payout, is what you spend time on.
People move a dollar token between chains to reach something only one side has: a protocol, an exchange deposit, or a cheaper onward transfer. Cambio does it as a swap — send USDC on Ethereum, receive USDC on Arbitrum, no account.
Cambio waits 4 confirmations on Ethereum, then sends the payout immediately. End to end this corridor typically takes ~5 min.

Two different assets, two different on-chain stories. Here’s the minimum you should know before you send anything.
USDC on Ethereum is the canonical, issuer-native USDC. The network confirms in well under a minute, with gas is the price of L1 — it rises when the chain is busy — and this is the issuer-native home of USDC.
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.

No. Your USDC 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.
You receive USDC issued on Arbitrum (ERC20 (Arbitrum)) — the same asset, on the network you asked for. Wallets and exchanges treat it as ordinary USDC on that network.
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.
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.
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.
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.
