Buying USDC: common questions
How do I buy USDC?
On any exchange (KYC there) or on a DEX with a self-custody wallet (no KYC). Minting and redeeming 1:1 runs through Circle Mint, which is open to approved institutions only. The token runs on Ethereum / Solana / Hyperliquid L1 (+152).
Do I need KYC to buy USDC?
Not on the secondary market: USDC can be bought on a DEX without identity verification. Minting it directly with the issuer does require KYC.
Can I buy USDC in the EU?
Yes. USDC is authorised under MiCA — issued in the EU by Circle Internet Financial Europe SAS, supervised by ACPR (France) — so EU-regulated exchanges and brokers may offer it.
