Has anyone actually stuck with USDC-margined perpetuals long term?

I’ve been seeing more talk about USDC-margined perps lately, but I’m not sure how meaningful the shift really is.

On paper, USDC margin and settlement look cleaner. Less noise from the margin asset itself, clearer PnL, better risk tracking. That all makes sense.

In volatile markets though, I’m not convinced it plays out that differently from USDT-M. Funding rates, liquidations, and execution still seem to be what actually matters, not the margin token.

Bitunix recently rolled out USDC-M perpetuals with a decent set of pairs. While looking into how these contracts work, I came across their explanation. It’s clear enough, but it doesn’t really answer the bigger question for me.

For anyone who’s traded USDC-M perps for more than just a few sessions:

1. did you stick with them or end up switching back?

2. did they genuinely help with risk or PnL clarity?

3. or does everything feel the same once markets get choppy?

Trying to figure out what actually holds up in real trading versus what just sounds good in theory.
