We’re excited to announce support for USD Coin (USDC) on OpenSea! Users can now use USDC to make offers, create listings, and buy items.

When we first built OpenSea, we decided to construct the experience around Ethereum, as a dapp platform and as a currency. It was the simplest option. Because most users already had some ETH, if only to pay gas, it provided an economic lingua franca. And it allowed us to streamline a new and unfamiliar buying experience. But all along, we’ve been excited about the entire token economy and we intend to grow with the maturing ecosystem and userbase.

Now, users in the US can buy USDC on Circle or Coinbase and use it on OpenSea, along with the Dai stablecoin. We’ll be adding support for other ERC-20 tokens soon, so be sure to join us in our Discord server to request your favorite token.
