Swap Meta xStock (METAx) to USD Coin (USDC)
Selling METAx for USDC fixes the dollar value of what you hold: once the swap settles, the next move in METAx no longer changes it. Outside stock-market hours nothing ties METAx to what it tracks, so a sale into USDC made then is priced by the on-chain market alone.

How to swap METAx to USDC
- 1
Connect a wallet holding METAx
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 METAx.
- 2
Check the METAx you are selling
The panel sells the METAx at mint Xsa6…o5Zu for USDC; if the METAx in your wallet shows a different address, it is not the token this page trades.
- 3
Size the METAx side
Enter the METAx amount and read the quote: it shows how much USDC you receive and the price impact of the route before anything is committed.
- 4
Sign, and receive USDC
Approve the METAx swap and the USDC lands in the same wallet in about a second, with no deposit address and nothing to withdraw.
How deep the METAx/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 METAx-to-USDC swap costs the Solana network fee and the Privacc fee, both already inside the quote. Full fee breakdown
What moves the METAx/USDC rate
Against USDC, this rate is simply the dollar price of METAx, so whatever moves METAx 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.

METAx to USDC questions
How much USDC do I get for 1 METAx?
The swap panel quotes the live rate as soon as you enter an amount of METAx. The USDC you receive reflects the price impact of your order size and the fee, both shown before you sign.
Why sell METAx for USDC rather than SOL?
USDC holds its dollar value and SOL does not, so selling METAx 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 METAx to USDC?
Yes, a small amount for the network fee, even though neither METAx nor USDC is SOL.
