According to RemitRoutes data, the cheapest way to cash out USDC to Philippines right now is to off-ramp through Coins.ph, which sells USDC for PHP at roughly a 0.02% spread. All-in — the USD on-ramp, the on-chain transfer, and the off-ramp spread — that works out to about -0.24% of the amount on a $1,000-equivalent transfer. For this corridor that is about 2.17 percentage points more than the cheapest traditional option (Xoom at -2.41%) — a regulated transfer service is the better deal here today.
