Find out where you can do it. We compare live order books of 10 exchanges and show how much USDT you really get for your USDC, after all costs.
Splitting the order across exchanges brings no benefit here. Best to buy everything on Binance.
For 2,500 USDC you currently get the most USDT on Binance: 2,499.57 USDT. The least favourable exchange (Coinbase) gives you the equivalent of 13.59 USDC (0.54%) less.
Exchanges with a direct USDT/USDC market: Binance, OKX, Kraken, Bitstamp, Kanga Global, Coinbase. Elsewhere you need a currency conversion or an intermediate currency, which usually adds cost.
Binance wins both on trading costs alone and with deposit and withdrawal included.
Binance leads both for 250 USDC and for 25,000 USDC, so it also has the deepest market for this pair.
Even for 25,000 USDC, splitting the order across exchanges brings no benefit, so one exchange is enough.
You deposit USDC with a crypto transfer from another wallet or exchange; the sender pays the network fee.

Tether (USDT) is the largest US-dollar stablecoin. In the EU, under MiCA, licensed exchanges restrict USDT trading (e.g. Bitvavo does not list it and Bybit EU has no USDT pairs), so you have fewer exchanges to choose from. When withdrawing, pick the network your receiving wallet supports (e.g. Tron, Ethereum): network fees can differ more than tenfold.
Paying with USDC means depositing it by crypto transfer; all the compared EU exchanges support it. The deposit network affects cost and speed: Ethereum is the most expensive, while networks such as Base or Solana are usually cheaper. On some exchanges USDC markets have lower fees than fiat markets.
