Swap Catecoin (CATE) to USD Coin (USDC)

Selling CATE for USDC fixes the dollar value of what you hold: once the swap settles, the next move in CATE no longer changes it. Memecoin liquidity tends to thin out exactly when many holders sell at once, so the price impact of selling CATE for USDC can be larger than it was on the way in.

How to swap CATE to USDC

  1. 1

    Connect a wallet holding CATE

    Connect Phantom, Solflare or Backpack in the swap panel; the wallet also needs a little SOL for the network fee, even though you are paying in CATE.

  2. 2

    Check the CATE you are selling

    The panel sells the CATE at mint Ai66…pump for USDC; if the CATE in your wallet shows a different address, it is not the token this page trades.

  3. 3

    Size the CATE side

    Enter the CATE amount and read the quote: it shows how much USDC you receive and the price impact of the route before anything is committed.

  4. 4

    Sign, and receive USDC

    Approve the CATE swap and the USDC lands in the same wallet in about a second, with no deposit address and nothing to withdraw.

How deep the CATE/USDC market is

The figure above is the mid-market rate. What you receive depends on the size of your order: a swap large relative to the pool moves the price as it executes, which is the price impact shown in the quote. Jupiter reduces this by splitting an order across several venues, but it never disappears.

Beyond price impact, a CATE-to-USDC swap costs the Solana network fee and the Privacc fee, both already inside the quote. Full fee breakdown

What moves the CATE/USDC rate

Against USDC, this rate is simply the dollar price of CATE, so whatever moves CATE moves it one for one.

Which network is your USDC on?

USDC exists on several networks: Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20), BNB Chain (BEP-20), Arbitrum, Base and Solana. They are separate tokens that share a name, and a Solana wallet can only hold the Solana one. This page is the Solana pair.

If your USDC is on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base or Polygon, you do not need an exchange to bring it over: choose that network above the swap panel, set Solana as the destination, and LI.FI bridges and swaps it in one route. Tron is the exception. TRC-20 USDC is not supported here and has to come through an exchange.

CATE to USDC questions

How much USDC do I get for 1 CATE?

The swap panel quotes the live rate as soon as you enter an amount of CATE. The USDC you receive reflects the price impact of your order size and the fee, both shown before you sign.

Why sell CATE for USDC rather than SOL?

USDC holds its dollar value and SOL does not, so selling CATE for it fixes what the position is worth today. Selling for SOL would keep you exposed to the Solana market.

Do I need SOL to swap CATE to USDC?

Yes, a small amount for the network fee, even though neither CATE nor USDC is SOL.
