Cash Balance on Audius

What is Cash Balance?
Your cash balance is used for seamless payments when you buy or sell content. Under the hood, cash balances are stored as USDC. When you sell music or top up with a credit/debit card, funds arrive instantly, and can be easily sent straight to your bank account. 

Your cash balance is used to buy and sell content on Audius. You can immediately withdraw your cash balance from Audius to your bank account or external crypto wallet at any time.
