Receiving stablecoin USDC

USDC is an issued dollar-oriented stablecoin with canonical, native, and bridged variants across networks. Contract events and issuer controls differ from a network-native gas asset. The destination wallet must support the exact BNB Chain representation. The route converts a native-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.
