Coinbase Users Can Now Enjoy USDC Rewards Via Their Wallets

Coinbase Wallet has unveiled an exciting new opportunity for users to earn 4.7% APY on their USDC holdings, marking a significant expansion of its global rewards program. This new feature, announced in their latest press release, allows users to earn rewards on their USDC assets without the need for lock-up periods, offering flexibility and convenience.

Easy And Accessible

Rewards are paid out monthly and are delivered directly to the wallets through the Base network, making the process seamless and accessible. The rewards program is now available in most regions around the world, with U.S. users set to join the program this week.

This means USDC holders can enjoy the benefit of sending and receiving payments with zero transaction fees on the Base network, all while leveraging the reliable 1:1 peg of the stablecoin to the United States Dollar (USD) for instant, cross-border settlements.

A Much Needed Feature

The program supports USDC balances held in Coinbase Wallet across a wide array of blockchain networks, including Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche C-Chain, Polygon, and Optimism. This broad support provides users with enhanced flexibility in how they manage their assets while still earning rewards on their holdings.

To take advantage of this feature, users simply need to download Coinbase Wallet and activate the USDC rewards option on their asset page, provided they are eligible. The rewards rate may vary depending on the user&39s region, but eligible users can easily view the current rates directly in their wallets.

This new initiative not only enhances the utility of USDC but also brings a new level of financial empowerment to users, offering a simple yet rewarding way to grow their holdings while enjoying the benefits of a decentralized, fee-free payment network.
