Trade crypto with USDC as your stable foundation. Automate strategies across BTC/USDC, ETH/USDC and other pairs while eliminating base currency volatility. Your bot executes systematic trades and locks profits into the digital dollar, protecting gains from market swings. Connect via API keys with no withdrawal permissions required.

A USD Coin (USDC) trading bot is software that automatically trades cryptocurrencies using USDC as your base currency. Since USDC stays pegged at $1, the bot can buy volatile assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum when prices dip and sell them back to USDC when prices rise, locking in dollar-value gains. 3Commas connects to your exchange through API keys without withdrawal permissions, so your funds stay completely secure in your own account while the bot handles trading execution.

Dollar cost averaging bots use USD Coin to systematically purchase volatile cryptocurrencies at regular intervals, smoothing out your average entry price over time. This approach removes emotional decision making and timing pressure from your investment strategy. It works exceptionally well when accumulating high volatility tokens while managing downside exposure.
Learn moreGrid bots capitalize on sideways price action by placing multiple buy and sell orders across defined price ranges. Using USDC as your quote currency provides stability while capturing profits from natural market oscillations. This strategy performs best during consolidation phases when assets trade within predictable boundaries after significant price movements.
Learn moreSignal bots execute trades automatically when technical indicators reach predetermined thresholds. Your USDC remains stable between signals, protecting capital until conditions align with your strategy. These bots respond to popular indicators including RSI levels, MACD crossovers, and moving average patterns from TradingView and other analytical platforms.

Learn moreThe USD Coin SmartTrade gives you advanced manual trading options like take-profit, stop-loss, trailing, and multi-target exits. The USD Coin Public Presets are ready-made strategies from traders that you can launch instantly or customize to fit your needs.

Manual trading exposes you to costly emotional decisions. When Bitcoin's ETF approval sent prices soaring in January 2024, FOMO traders bought at $48,000 only to watch it crash 20% days later. Automated bots ignore hype and follow technical signals instead. Your bot monitors markets around the clock. During April's weekend SOL/USDC flash crash, the pair dropped 25% while traders slept. Automated systems protected capital when humans couldn't react. Trailing stop losses lock in gains automatically. If your position rises then reverses 5%, the bot converts back to USDC immediately. Manual traders hesitate and lose profits they've already earned.

USDC offers native cross-chain transfers through its burn-and-mint protocol, eliminating risky bridge vulnerabilities and liquidity splits.

Monthly attestations from Grant Thornton verify full dollar backing, providing transparent reserve confirmation that exceeds most stablecoin standards.

Deep institutional liquidity enables large trades over $1M with minimal slippage, thanks to robust order books on major trading pairs.

Set stop losses on your trading pairs (like BTC/USDC or ETH/USDC), not on USDC itself, since volatility comes from the crypto asset, not the stablecoin.
Monitor traditional banking news and major DeFi protocols closely. USDC briefly dropped to $0.87 during the March 2023 Silicon Valley Bank crisis, proving stablecoins aren't immune to external shocks.
Check the blockchain network status before large trades. USDC operates across multiple chains, and network congestion or outages can temporarily affect your ability to move funds.

Backtesting in 3Commas just makes life easier. I can try out ideas, see what works, and avoid dumb mistakes — all without losing any money. I bought Expert plan to make more backtests.
For a long time I used a strategy that I considered profitable, but over the long term I was slowly losing money. With the help of 3Commas backtesting feature I realized that I just needed to make small changes in strategy to become profitable trader.
I've been with 3Commas for a couple of years now, and its powerful bots, once you understand their mechanics, can generate good returns with minimal risk (if you know what I'm doing, I'm making 15–30% pa with little risk and no leverage). You can earn money while you sleep and continue to learn as you progress.
The team is always available, focusing on customer needs, improving the app and website, and adapting to all developments. Pretty excellent job!
I have used other trading bots, but this one is much better, and I am able to control my losses and maximize my profits much better. I'll keep using this more and more.
I am new to crypto trading and have been able to use 3Commas easily. I learned a lot from paper trading and feel safe using the site.

No trading bot can guarantee profits. USDC bots automate your strategy and execute trades faster than manual trading, but they operate in volatile markets where losses are possible. Success depends on market conditions, your strategy choice, and risk settings. Bots help by removing emotions and running 24/7, but you're still responsible for monitoring performance and adjusting settings. All crypto trading carries risk, regardless of automation.
Setting up a USDC bot on 3Commas takes about 10-15 minutes. You'll connect your exchange via API keys, choose a bot type like Grid or DCA, and configure basic parameters like investment amount and price range. 3Commas offers preset templates for beginners that work right away. You don't need coding skills. The platform guides you through each step with explanations, and you can start with small amounts to learn before scaling up.
Yes, when configured correctly. 3Commas is non-custodial, meaning your funds never leave your exchange account. The API keys you create only grant trading permissions, not withdrawal rights. You control these permissions in your exchange settings. 3Commas cannot access or move your USDC or other crypto off the exchange. Your assets remain in your exchange wallet at all times. Always ensure withdrawal permissions are disabled when creating API keys.
Yes. You can run several bots simultaneously with different strategies using the same USDC balance. For example, one Grid bot trading BTC/USDC in a range, a DCA bot accumulating ETH/USDC, and a Signal bot following trading alerts. Each bot operates independently with its allocated portion of your funds. This lets you diversify your approach across market conditions. Just ensure your total allocated USDC doesn't exceed your available balance across all active bots.
