How to Purchase NEAR Protocol (NEAR) with USDC (USDC)

To purchase NEAR Protocol using USDC, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the NEAR/USDC trading pair, such as YouHodler, Binance, BTSE or Coinbase. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your USDC into your exchange wallet. Locate the NEAR/USDC pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your USDC for NEAR Protocol. If the NEAR/USDC pair is unavailable, you can first exchange USDC for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for NEAR Protocol. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction.
