Coinbase is waiving the conversion fees for users that wish to switch to a "trusted stablecoin" in a new campaign that highlights the quality of reserves that back Circle-owned USD Coin (USDC). Coinbase said starting today it's waiving fees for global retail customers to convert USDT to USDC.
"The events of the past few weeks have put some stablecoins to the test and we’ve seen a flight to safety," Coinbase said in blog post published Friday morning Asia time. "We believe that USD Coin (USDC) is a trusted and reputable stablecoin."
Switch to a trusted stablecoin: USD Coin (USDC). Now convert Tether (USDT) to USDC with zero fees.https://t.co/OObSqNWdpj

If you view Coinbase as a shadow proxy for the US government, USDC can be viewed clearly as an indirect attack vector on offshore crypto bad actors like Tether and Binance. Encourage large USDT to USDC conversions, redeem USDT for USD in large quantities, crash Tether.

So @coinbase has advised their customers to switch their $USDT to $USDC and @Binance basically delisted $USDC having a large majority of their assets in $USDT and $BUSD. The season finale is coming up soon. https://t.co/fq0AggQrhp

Coinbase issued an article calling for the conversion of USDT to USDC, and will waive the fees for global users to convert USDT to USDC. Previously, Binance delisted all USDC trading pairs, and the war between stablecoins and their supporters continues. https://t.co/QQDON1Fixs

#USDC repeated failures at adoption, being delisted on #Binance and @Circle failing to go public meant that @coinbase had to come to the rescue.

You can now swap #USDT to #USDC for free!
But there is an issue: You can't swap USDC to USDT for free.
