Sell USDC for US Dollar (USD) through Wise.
Wise USD is the route for holding US dollars in a multi-currency Wise account rather than a US-only payment app. It suits international sellers who keep a USD balance, or anyone who already settles invoices through Wise. Fiat moves directly between buyer and seller through Wise; the USDC leg settles through ZKP2P smart contracts on Base.

Demand and timing
USD has deep buyer demand overall, but US-domestic buyers often prefer Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle. On Wise specifically, USD fills depend on buyers who hold and send Wise USD, so size and price accordingly.
Your Wise account must be able to receive USD. Corridor and verification rules are set by Wise, not by the protocol.
Common questions

USDCtoFiat lets you sell USDC on Base for money in Venmo, Cash App, Chime, Revolut, Wise, Zelle, PayPal, Monzo, N26, and Luxon. You keep control of your wallet, and trades settle through non-custodial ZKP2P smart contracts on Base.
Does USDCtoFiat hold my funds?
No. You sign every transaction from your own wallet. Your USDC is locked in a public Base contract and releases to the buyer only after their payment is proven. You can withdraw any unfilled deposit at any time.
Can I sell USDC for USD on Wise?
Yes. Create a Base deposit, choose Wise and USD, and a buyer pays your Wisetag (no @). Whether a specific payment reaches you depends on your Wise account, region, and limits.
How fast does a deposit fill?
Fill speed depends on buyer demand for your payment method, currency, and rate. Liquid routes like USD via Venmo or Cash App, or EUR/GBP via Revolut or Wise, move fastest. You can withdraw unfilled deposits whenever you want.
