USDCCATE

Swap USD Coin (USDC) to Catecoin (CATE)

Buying CATE with USDC turns a fixed number of dollars into a position that rises and falls with CATE. Catecoin is a memecoin: nothing but attention and the depth of its pools holds up the price, so large daily swings are normal rather than news. CATE in one line: Cat-themed memecoin launched on pump.fun.

How to swap USDC to CATE

  1. 1

    Connect a wallet holding USDC

    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 USDC.

  2. 2

    Confirm it is the real CATE

    The panel is set to swap USDC into the verified CATE mint, Ai66…pump; a token with the same name at any other address is not CATE, whatever its logo.

  3. 3

    Size the USDC side

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

  4. 4

    Sign, and receive CATE

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

How deep the USDC/CATE 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 USDC-to-CATE swap costs the Solana network fee and the Privacc fee, both already inside the quote. Full fee breakdown

What moves the USDC/CATE rate

Against USDC, this rate is the dollar price of CATE turned upside down: the more CATE costs, the less of it each USDC buys.

For a memecoin, what moves it is attention: listings, social momentum and large holders moving in or out.

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.

USDC to CATE questions

How much CATE do I get for 1 USDC?

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

Does it matter whether I pay for CATE with USDC or SOL?

The CATE price is set by the pools at the moment you ask, not by which token you pay with. The real difference is what you give up: paying in USDC spends dollars that were holding still, while paying in SOL gives up an asset that moves.

Do I need SOL to swap USDC to CATE?

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