  When it comes to gas fees, USDC is the winner. USDC is an ERC-20 token, which means it runs on the Ethereum network. Ethereum has lower gas fees compared to other networks like Tron, where USDT is based. So, if you want to save on gas fees, go for USDC.

  USDC is known for having lower gas fees compared to USDT. It's because USDC is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network, which generally has lower gas fees. However, it's worth noting that gas fees can vary depending on network congestion and market conditions. So, while USDC may have lower gas fees most of the time, it's always a good idea to check the current gas fees before making any transactions.
