According to Odaily, Vitalik Buterin recently expressed his support for using USDC on the Ethereum blockchain over traditional centralized exchange (CEX) account transfers. Responding to a user on X, Buterin highlighted that Ethereum-based USDC transactions are significantly better due to the network effects and user habits established on the blockchain. He emphasized that this familiarity makes it easier for users to switch to other options in the future. Buterin also mentioned that, on a personal level, he prefers holding only ETH and engaging in real-time exchanges with others who want USDC.
