USDC vs USDT for private swaps
USDC and USDT both keep value near one dollar on transparent ledgers. Choosing between them for an Anonymous Swap is mostly about which network and wallet balances you already have.
Liquidity and networks
USDT is ubiquitous on Tron TRC-20 and many CEXes. USDC is common on Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and others. Match the specific code on the order (for example usdt_trc20 or usdc_eth).
Privacy outcome
Neither stablecoin is private on-chain. The privacy step is receiving Monero. Issuer and compliance differences between USDC and USDT matter less once value is in XMR you control.
Practical pick
Use whichever token and network you can send cheaply and correctly today. Wrong-network risk outweighs small fee differences.
