How to Fund Polymarket with USDC

Polymarket settles in USDC (a US-dollar stablecoin) on the Polygon network, so funding it means getting USDC into a connected wallet. Here’s the basic flow.

What you need

• A Polymarket account and a connected crypto wallet
• USDC on the Polygon network

The steps

1. Create your account and connect (or create) a wallet through Polymarket.
2. Get USDC. You can buy USDC with a card through Polymarket’s built-in on-ramp, or transfer USDC you already hold. Make sure it’s on Polygon — the network matters.
3. Deposit the USDC to your Polymarket balance. There are no deposit fees on your balance.
4. Start trading — your USDC is now your buying power for Yes/No shares.

What US traders should know

Polymarket returned to the US in late 2025 through a CFTC-licensed entity, and is available in 40+ states but blocked in around eight. Confirm availability in your state — see our legality tracker — before funding.

Not financial advice. Only fund what you can afford to lose, and double-check the network (Polygon) on any transfer.
