# 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.

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>
