How can I trade with USDC in Pro Mode?

Updated

Summary: This article explains what trading pairs are and how you can trade with USDC trading pairs in Pro Mode.

In Pro Mode, you can choose between EUR and USDC trading pairs (for example, BTC/EUR or ETH/USDC). Selecting a USDC trading pair lets you trade crypto against USDC (USD Coin) instead of euros.

What is a trading pair?

A trading pair is a market where two assets are traded against each other – for example, BTC/EUR or ETH/USDC. The second asset in the pair determines the price and settlement currency. USDC pairs allow you to trade crypto against USDC (USD Coin), a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar.

How to trade with USDC in Pro Mode

  1. Open Pro Mode
    Switch to Pro Mode in the Bitvavo app or on the website to access advanced order types.
  2. Select your trading pair
    In the top-left corner, you’ll see the currently selected trading pair (for example, BTC/EUR). Click it to change.
  3. Find your preferred USDC pair
    Type the asset you want to trade in the search bar. If a USDC market is available, you’ll see the option to select the USDC trading pair.
  4. View USDC markets
    Click the USDC tab to see all assets that have a USDC trading pair.
  5. Place your order
    Choose your order type (market, limit, or stop-limit), enter the amount, and click “Buy” or “Sell” to submit your order.
Tip: If you can’t find a USDC trading pair for a specific crypto, that pair may not be supported yet.

Common issues and tips

Warning: Low liquidity in some USDC markets can affect the price you receive. Check the order book and recent trades before placing a large order.
Tip: Each market has a minimum order size. If you receive an error, try increasing your order amount or reducing the number of decimals in your order.

FAQ

How do I know which USDC markets are available?

You can find an up-to-date list of all supported markets in the Bitvavo Help Center article “Which crypto are available on Bitvavo?”.

Why can’t I find a USDC trading pair for my crypto?

Not all assets have a USDC market. If no USDC option appears, that trading pair is not yet available. You can still trade the asset using the EUR pair instead.

What’s the difference between EUR and USDC pairs?

EUR pairs let you trade directly against euros, while USDC pairs use a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. Prices may differ slightly due to liquidity and conversion rates.

Can I convert USDC back to EUR?

Yes. You can trade in the USDC/EUR market in Pro Mode to convert USDC back into euros.
