USDT vs USDC for off-ramping

A practical framework for comparing liquidity rather than choosing by brand alone.

Liquidity is market-specific

The deeper asset can differ by fiat currency, payment rail, exchange and time of day. Compare the market you can actually access.

Measure the whole route

Consider executable price, available size, settlement rail and merchant quality. A small headline premium may disappear when limits and payment constraints are applied.
