Anyone here actively choose USDC vs USDT settlement for perps, or do you just default?

I used to default without thinking. Then I realized most of my mistakes come from sloppy tracking, not from my initial thesis.

I tested Bitunix USDC-M perpetual futures today with a small SOL/USDC perpetual. Having USDC as both margin and settlement made my “how am I doing today” check faster, since my risk budget is also in USDC.

Still, perps are leveraged derivatives, so I kept it conservative and treated it like a setup test.
Curious: do you deliberately choose settlement currency for crypto perpetual futures, or is it mostly whatever the exchange pushes?
