The answer
On Ethereum, standard token transfers consume gas paid in ETH even if the asset being moved is USDC, DAI or another ERC-20 token.
What to do next
Check which network actually holds the token and add a small amount of the correct native fee asset through a trusted route. Estimate gas before sending.

Frequently asked questions
Can I pay normal Ethereum mainnet gas directly with USDC?
Not for an ordinary Ethereum account transaction; ETH is the native gas asset, although some applications sponsor fees.
