How the USD Coin ranking is built
This page does not reuse the global overall model. The asset context reweights toward liquidity, fees and fiat rails, then blends in a USDC-fit score built from withdrawal cost, network coverage, spread and asset-specific features. That is why the order here can differ from the main ranking: a venue with great custody but expensive USDC withdrawals loses ground, and a venue with tight books and cheap networks gains it.
USDC economics by exchange
Spread estimates, cheapest withdrawal network and minimums for USDC (reference price $1). Withdrawal fees assume the cheapest supported network on each venue.

Best exchange for a $100 / $1,000 / $10,000 USD Coin purchase
Effective cost = taker fee + estimated spread, plus a slippage allowance on thin books for the $10,000 ticket. Card and instant-buy surcharges are not included — deposit with a bank rail and buy on the spot book to keep these numbers real.
