Precious Metals that accept stablecoins
Bullion is the purchase a stablecoin holder makes when they want to leave the blockchain without going through a bank: a dollar-pegged token in, a bar or coin out, and no card or wire in between. The dealers here range from a London house trading since 1778 to crypto-native shops that price their whole catalogue in USDC. What they share is a payment step with a short price lock and no chargeback, which suits stablecoins better than it suits volatile coins — several dealers say so themselves. What differs is everything else: whether the network is named, whether an account and identity check come first, what happens to a refund, and whether the crypto option is a page on the site or a line in a BitPay list. Each record says which.

Every cell comes from the merchant's record. "Pairing not documented" means the merchant lists the coin and some networks but does not say which chain the coin runs on; confirm at checkout. Evidence dates are when an editor last read the merchant's own page.

Precious metals are the most direct exit from a stablecoin that exists: not a card that spends dollars, not a gift card that becomes a retailer’s credit, but a bar in a vault or a coin in the post. It is also a sector where the merchant’s own words matter unusually much, because the gateway behind the button often offers more than the merchant will say.
Two kinds of dealer
The first kind added a crypto button to a business that predates crypto. Sharps Pixley has traded since 1778 and took Bitcoin through BitPay from 2017; its page names USD Coin among the accepted assets, and its St James’s Street shop takes it over the counter. Hero Bullion, a Texas dealer, names BitPay and a discount and leaves the coin list to the gateway. This is where the large American houses would sit too — APMEX, JM Bullion, SD Bullion — except that their pages name Bitcoin and not stablecoins, so they are not listed.
The second kind was built for crypto holders. Bitgild has sold gold for Bitcoin since 2013 and now lets you browse the catalogue priced in USDC, USDT or DAI. Swiss Bullion takes no cards at all — bank wire or crypto, with USDC and USDT among a dozen coins. BTC Bullions runs on the same idea with a UK company behind it. These dealers name the stablecoins because stablecoins are the point: a bullion order has a moving spot price already, and, as Swiss Bullion puts it, adding a volatile payment asset “gives you two moving parts instead of one”.
What to check before a large order
The network, first. Only Bitgild publishes one; the others tell you with the payment instructions, and a six-figure USDT transfer on the wrong chain is the most expensive mistake in this directory. Then the price lock, usually fifteen minutes, which is why the dealers prefer stablecoins and why you should have the funds ready before you click. Then identity checks: Swiss Bullion requires an account and verification before any order; BTC Bullions says none below $50,000; BitPay applies its own thresholds. And finally the refund terms, which are rarely generous and, in Bitgild’s case, are explicitly denominated in euros rather than coins.
Precious Metals questions
Can I buy gold with USDC?
Yes, from several dealers here. Bitgild prices its whole catalogue in USDC, USDT and DAI and takes them on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Tron. Swiss Bullion and BTC Bullions name USDC and USDT but not the network, which you get with the payment instructions. Sharps Pixley in London takes USDC through BitPay online and over the counter. Hero Bullion takes whatever BitPay offers, which includes USDC.
Why do many big US dealers not appear here?
Because their own pages name Bitcoin, not stablecoins. APMEX's BitPay page says "Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Dogecoin"; SD Bullion's says "Bitcoin"; JM Bullion's says "crypto" and nothing more. BitPay's checkout may well offer USDC at all three, but we list what the merchant states, and none of them states a stablecoin. Several others block automated reading of their sites entirely.
Is there a discount for paying in crypto?
Sometimes, because the dealer avoids card fees and chargeback risk. Hero Bullion advertises 2% off card pricing for crypto. Others price crypto the same as a bank wire. Check the dealer's payment page, and remember the price lock — usually fifteen minutes — before you start moving funds.
What about refunds?
Bullion refunds are unusual in any currency, and crypto adds a twist: Bitgild refunds the euro value on the invoice, not the coins you sent, so a stablecoin refund is roughly whole but a Bitcoin refund is not. Read the dealer's terms before a large order.
