Coinbase to levy 0.1% fee for USDC to US dollar swaps over $5M

Coinbase will impose a 0.1% fee on USDC to USD conversions exceeding $5 million net in a 30-day period starting August 13, following missed Q2 revenue and earnings. The fee aims to cover USDC management costs and deter arbitrage from Tether to USDC conversions. Coinbase is experimenting to assess fee impacts, amid rising stablecoin market caps.
