Stablecoins in Escrow: USDT vs USDC vs DAI Compared
Comparisons & Trust · Escrows Click

When funding an escrow, the stablecoin you choose affects fees, settlement speed, and counterparty acceptance. Here's how the big three compare for escrow use in 2026.

USDT (Tether)#

Highest liquidity, broadest acceptance, lowest counterparty friction. Available on Tron (cheapest fees), Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Default choice for most P2P escrow.

USDC (Circle)#

Stronger regulatory transparency. Slightly less acceptance with international sellers. Good choice for high-value deals where compliance matters.

DAI (MakerDAO)#

Decentralized — no issuer to freeze funds. Lower liquidity, higher slippage on cash-out. Best for privacy-focused counterparties.

Escrows Click accepts all three across major networks. See /fees for the per-network cost breakdown.
