What exactly leaves Avalanche as USDC?
USDC is a contract representation on Avalanche at 0xb97ef9ef8734c71904d8002f8b6bc66dd9c48a6e. AVAX, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset.
What exactly arrives on Avalanche as WBTC?
WBTC is a contract representation on Avalanche with 8 decimals at 0x50b7545627a5162F82A992c33b87aDc75187B218. AVAX, not WBTC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path.
Why does the USDC to WBTC direction matter?
