Convert USDT and USDC to CRC, and CRC to stablecoins
JET quotes both directions on every pair: buy the stablecoin with CRC (on-ramp) or sell it for CRC and withdraw to a bank account (off-ramp). Routing compares several liquidity providers on every conversion, so the rate is the best available at the time, not a single broker's spread.

How CRC on- and off-ramps work on JET
- Pay in CRC. Send CRC by local bank transfer. Each pay-in is matched to your account automatically.
- Convert. JET converts at the best available rate and credits USDT, USDC or another supported stablecoin to your JET account or to your own wallet, usually within minutes.
- Pay out or hold. Hold the stablecoins, send them on, or reverse the route: sell USDT or USDC for CRC and pay out to a local bank account the next business day.
In the Americas JET connects US dollar accounts with local rails across Mexico, Central and South America, so a payout leaves in dollars or stablecoins and lands in local currency.
