According to Odaily Planet Daily, Vitalik Buterin said in his reply to netizens on X that he agreed with the view that "using USDC on the Ethereum chain is much better than transferring money from CEX account to account."

He believes that the chain builds network effects and user habits, making it easier for users to switch to other options in the future. As an individual, he can even choose to hold only ETH and exchange it in real time with others who want USDC.
