Which stablecoin should I use?

For most people USDC is the broadly-supported, regulation-forward default; USDT is larger and more liquid, especially in emerging markets. The right answer depends on where you transact and your regulatory needs — the selector suggests one based on your priority.

How do you choose the chain?

The selector ranks Tron, Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Tempo against the priority you pick — lowest cost, fastest settlement, regulatory fit, or liquidity — and surfaces the top match plus a runner-up. It is a neutral starting point, not financial advice.

Is this financial advice?
