Why swap USDC to XMR?
USDC is issued by Circle, and every transfer is public on its blockchain. The issuer can also freeze USDC at any address — a power regularly used at the request of authorities. Monero (XMR) hides sender, receiver and amount by default and has no issuer that can freeze it. Swapping USDC to XMR moves value from a monitored, freezable token into private self-custody.
