# Getting USDCx

Most of Granite's markets will transition to USDCx, a 1:1 USDC-backed stablecoin issued through Circle xReserve and native to Stacks.

To get USDCx, you'll need:

* USDC on Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20)
* ETH for gas fees
* STX for gas fees

To get USDCx on Granite, go to the USDCx market menu.

On the USDCx Wallet Balance, click the "Bridge" button.

Once you've clicked on the Bridge, you'll be directed to the official USDCx bridge [link](https://bridge.stacks.co/usdc/eth/stx).&#x20;

From here, you can convert back and forth to USDCx and USDC.\ <br>
