Trade USD₮ for USDC.
Zero fees.

Go to Trade in your Ledn account, select the USD₮/USDC pair, enter the amount you want to trade, and confirm. The exchange happens instantly at the quoted rate — no order book, no waiting. Your USDC lands in your Transaction Account immediately.

Same process in reverse. Select USDC/USD₮ in the Trade tab, enter your USDC amount, review the rate, and confirm. You can trade any amount — there is no minimum trade size beyond the platform minimums.

Ledn charges zero trading fees. You trade at a 0.5% spread on the mid-market rate — the same transparent spread across all 10 trading pairs. For context, many exchanges typically charge 1–3.5% on similar trades. The rate you see quoted is the rate you get, with no hidden fees added at checkout.

Both USD₮ and USDC are pegged to the US dollar, so the rate between them stays close to 1:1. Ledn applies a flat 0.5% spread on the mid-market rate — the same as every other pair on the platform. There are no hidden fees added at checkout.

Potentially, yes. Even though both assets are dollar-pegged stablecoins, most jurisdictions treat a trade between two different crypto assets as a taxable disposal. In practice the gain or loss may be minimal given near-identical prices, but the event may still need to be reported. Ledn recommends consulting a tax professional familiar with your jurisdiction.

The most common reason is utility: a specific Ledn product, loan repayment, or external transfer may require a particular stablecoin. USDC is issued by Circle and subject to US regulatory oversight; USD₮ is issued by Tether and is the most liquid stablecoin globally. Trading on-platform lets you convert instantly without withdrawing funds or paying network fees.

When you trade on Ledn, your assets stay within your Ledn Transaction Account throughout. Ledn does not lend out assets held in Transaction Accounts to generate interest, and has a perfect record of protecting client assets since 2018. The same custody standards apply to every asset on the platform.

Yes. Both USDC and USD₮ in your Transaction Account can be used directly to repay a Ledn loan. Loan disbursements and repayments in both stablecoins are fully supported.

Trades are instant. Once you confirm the trade, your USDC appears in your Transaction Account immediately. There are no settlement delays, no pending periods, and no gas fees — it is an on-platform trade, not an on-chain transaction.
