Coinbase: Users Can Send XRP and USDC to Other Users For Free

According to a recent announcement on the Coinbase website, you can send “money” via XRP and USDC instantly and free of charge to any other Coinbase user, in any supported country. The company stated that this feature, which apparently has been quietly available since Feb 28th (which is when XRP got listed on Coinbase.com), this feature should not be considered a “money remittance” service since recipients need to perform their own conversions to local currency after receiving crypto. The company explained:

“You can now send money to any user with a Coinbase account around the world using XRP or USDC. By using cryptocurrencies that are optimized for cross-border transmission, you can send and receive money virtually instantly by sending those cryptocurrencies and having the recipient convert them into local currency.”
