Decide by what you want
| If you want | Why |
|---|---|
| Money in a payment app you already use | A buyer pays through an eligible payment route you choose; no exchange-to-bank withdrawal round trip. |
| To keep custody of your USDC until it sells | USDC stays in a public Base contract and releases only after the buyer's payment is proven. |
| Exchange withdrawal | An exchange account withdrawal pays out from the exchange account's balance. |
