How Long Does USDC Take to Transfer on Avalanche?

A standard USDC transfer on Avalanche typically takes 1-2 minutes to be confirmed. With higher gas priority, you can reduce this to approximately ~30 seconds.

Avalanche requires 1 confirmation before a transaction is considered finalized. Note that some exchanges and services may require additional confirmations beyond the network minimum, which can add to the total wait time.

What Can Slow Down Your Transfer

  • Cross-chain bridge delays (not same as C-Chain transfers)
  • Subnet congestion

What to Do If Your USDC Transfer Is Stuck

If your USDC transfer on Avalanche hasn't arrived:

  1. Check on Snowtrace
  2. Avalanche has sub-second finality so delays are rare
  3. Verify the recipient address and network are correct: sending USDC on the wrong network is a common mistake
  4. Check if the receiving platform requires additional confirmations beyond Avalanche's standard

Track Your Transfer

You can track your USDC transfer on Snowtrace by searching for your transaction hash or wallet address.
