How to Deposit pUSD on Polymarket

How to fund your Polymarket account with pUSD for trading. Deposit USDC from any supported chain — it converts to pUSD (Polymarket's native collateral) automatically.

1

Understand pUSD

pUSD is Polymarket's native collateral token, backed 1:1 by USDC. All trades on Polymarket's V2 CLOB settle in pUSD. When you deposit USDC, it's automatically converted to pUSD within Polymarket.

2

Go to Polymarket's deposit page

Log into your Polymarket account at polymarket.com and click "Deposit" or navigate to your portfolio. Polymarket supports deposits from multiple chains including Polygon and Ethereum.

3

Choose your deposit method

You can deposit USDC directly from your wallet, use a card (where available), or bridge from another chain. The USDC is converted to pUSD at a 1:1 ratio — there's no conversion fee from Polymarket.

4

Confirm the transaction

Approve the transaction in your wallet. Depending on the chain, deposits typically confirm within 1–5 minutes. Once confirmed, your pUSD balance appears in Polymarket and is reflected in Polycopy when your wallet is connected.

5

Verify in Polycopy

Open Polycopy and check your connected wallet balance. It should now show your available pUSD for trading. You're ready to copy trades or set up Auto Copy bots.
