BISON app alternative for selling USDC to your bank
The BISON app lists no USDC and accepts no ERC-20 token deposits. For USDC you were paid, Unigox is the BISON app alternative: a buyer pays your bank account. For Bitcoin, Ether and other coins, stay with BISON.
When to stay with BISON
You buy and hold Bitcoin, Ether and other coins
BISON lists Bitcoin, Ether and dozens of other coins with no trading fee beyond its spread, and stakes ETH and SOL for 27% of the rewards. Unigox trades stablecoins only.
You are a German citizen living in Germany and want shares and ETFs too
German citizens resident and taxed only in Germany can trade shares, ETFs and EUWAX Gold in the same BISON app as their coins.
You want a euro balance under German deposit protection
BISON keeps euro balances with Solaris SE and Deutsche Bank, where statutory deposit insurance covers up to 100,000 EUR per person. Its coins sit in trust with Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody, which holds a MiCAR licence from BaFin.
BISON and Unigox for USDC you want in your bank
BISON prices the coins it lists by spread and has no USDC to price, so the rows set out how each side handles the same USDC rather than a rate.
| Topic | BISON | Unigox |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A crypto app of the Boerse Stuttgart Group for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, open to other EEA citizens who sign up on their own initiative. You buy and sell at the price the app shows, with EUWAX AG as trading partner and no order book. | A stablecoin marketplace: an individual P2P merchant or a payment business buys your USDC and pays you in your currency. |
| USDC | Not listed. EURCV, a euro token, is the only stablecoin BISON trades, and BISON says it is working on more without naming any. | Listed. You sell it to a buyer, who pays you in one of the currencies on offer. |
| Depositing tokens | No ERC-20 or Solana token deposits: on Ethereum only ETH itself comes in. Coins sent on an unsupported network are lost and not credited. | USDC sent from another wallet or an exchange arrives in your Unigox Wallet, ready to sell. |
| Price of a sale | No USDC price, as BISON does not list it. Coins it does list carry no fee, only a spread averaging 1.25% on Bitcoin and Ethereum and 1.75% on the rest. | The fee is part of the rate for your amount, which you see before you accept. |
| Getting the money | Free SEPA payout in 1 to 3 banking days, only to an account in your name that has already sent money to BISON. | The buyer pays the account you name for that trade. On a sale to a P2P merchant, your USDC is held in escrow until you confirm the money has come in. |
| Regulation | Trading by EUWAX AG, a BaFin-regulated financial services institution. Custody by Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody GmbH under a MiCAR licence from BaFin. | Unigox works through two companies: UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Canada handles the local-money side and is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business and with the Bank of Canada as a payment service provider; UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Panama handles the crypto side, including wallets and escrow. |
UnigoxCash out USDC on Unigox instead of BISON
Verify before the USDC arrives
Sign up on Unigox and pass identity verification while the USDC is still where you were paid. It is needed before your first trade.
Move the USDC into Unigox
Send it from the wallet or exchange that holds it to your Unigox Wallet, using a network the deposit screen offers for USDC.
Sell and get paid to your bank
Pick your currency, add the account the buyer should pay and accept the rate. On a P2P sale the USDC stays in escrow until you confirm the money arrived.
BISON app alternative: questions
Which BISON app alternative accepts USDC?
Unigox: you send the USDC to your Unigox Wallet and sell it to a P2P merchant or a payment business, who pays your bank account. BISON neither lists USDC nor accepts ERC-20 token deposits, so it cannot take the coins in the first place.
Who holds my coins and my money in the BISON app?
Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody GmbH holds the coins in trust under a MiCAR licence from BaFin. EUWAX AG, a BaFin-regulated financial services institution, carries out the trades; both belong to the Boerse Stuttgart Group. Solaris SE and Deutsche Bank hold euro balances, with up to 100,000 EUR per person under statutory deposit insurance.
Can I send USDC to my BISON account?
No. USDC is not on BISON's coin list, and BISON's address-format guide marks ERC-20 and Solana token deposits as not supported. It warns that coins sent on an unsupported network are lost. Even EURCV, the euro stablecoin BISON trades, can be withdrawn but not deposited.
How does BISON price a crypto sale?
There is no trading fee. The app shows a buy and a sell price, and the gap between them averages 1.25% for Bitcoin and Ethereum and 1.75% for other coins. It moves with the market and the size of the trade. Paying euros out to your bank by SEPA is free.
See the rate for your USDC
Your USDC would first have to reach an exchange that lists it. Set what it fetches there beside the Unigox rate for your amount, fee already inside, shown before you accept.
