How to Add USDC to Metamask Wallet? 6 Easy Methods You Can Try!

USDC is an Ethereum-based native coin that you can add to your Metamask wallet. This will enable you to send an exchange or swap the USDC token with your Metamask wallet. This article will show you how to add USDC to the Metamask wallet in a super easy way.

Things You Should Know About USDC on MetaMask

• If your network is Ethereum-compatible, you can add USDC to your Metamask wallet (e.g. Polygon and Cronos). However, if your network is not Ethereum-compatible, you will not be able to add USDC to your Metamask wallet (e.g. Solana, Terra, or Algorand).
• You can check all of the available exchanges for USDC on the USDC page of CoinMarketCap.
• Although USDC is not native to the Bitcoin network, it does function on others like Solana and Tron (TRC20). Since Metamask does not support these versions of USDC, you cannot add them to your Metamask wallet.
