There are over 450,000 sets of ERC-20 tokens as of 2021 and they collectively represent hundreds of billions of dollars in value. All ERC-20 tokens \u201clive\u201d on Ethereum, meaning they benefit from the security of the second-largest blockchain by marketcap and are composable with<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-smart-contract\"> <span>smart contracts<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Curated ERC-20 Support<\/h3>\n<p><span>Any and all Ethereum-compatible tokens sent to your<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/bitcoin.com\/\"> <span>Bitcoin.com<\/span><\/a><span> Wallet\u2019s Ethereum addresses are safe and secure. However, since there are hundreds of thousands of ERC-20 tokens out there, it\u2019s not practical to display them all in the Wallet. That\u2019s why we\u2019re starting off by \u2018tracking\u2019 a selection of the most widely used ERC-20 tokens. For instance, when you open the wallet, you\u2019ll now have quick access to the US dollar crypto \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-are-stablecoins\"><span>stablecoins<\/span><\/a><span>\u2018 <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/USDT\">USDT<\/a> and USDC. Additionally, the wallet will track five other major ERC-20 tokens at the outset. These are<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/UNI\"> <span>Uniswap<\/span><\/a><span>,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/WBTC\"> <span>Wrapped BTC<\/span><\/a><span>,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/COMP\"> <span>Compound,<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/YFI\"> <span>Yearn Finance<\/span><\/a><span>, and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/SUSHI\"> <span>Sushiswap<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Lock in Profits with The Most Popular USD-Pegged Stablecoins<\/h3>\n<p><span>With <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/USDT\">USDT<\/a> and USDC now supported, you can swap out of more volatile cryptoassets like Bitcoin and Ethereum to, for instance, lock in profits if you think the market is overheated. Then trade back into the coins you think are due for a run.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Buy and Sell Stablecoins With Cash<\/h3>\n<p><span>If you\u2019re in a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.bitcoin.com\/en\/articles\/5344051-buying-cryptocurrency\"> <span>supported region<\/span><\/a><span>, you can buy <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/USDT\">USDT<\/a> and USDC in the<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/bitcoin.com\/\"> <span>Bitcoin.com<\/span><\/a><span> Wallet using local currency (by credit card etc.). If you\u2019re resident in the US, UK, or EU, you can sell <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/USDT\">USDT<\/a> or USDC and receive local currency straight to your bank account.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Send, Receive, and Swap<\/h3>\n<p><span>The<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/bitcoin.com\/\"> <span>Bitcoin.com<\/span><\/a><span> Wallet supports all other functions of ERC-20 tokens for all users.
