Supported routes change—read the deposit screen
Hyperliquid’s onboarding documentation currently lists USDC deposits for email users from Arbitrum, Ethereum, Base and Polygon. It also lists selected assets on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Monad, Plasma, Avalanche and Zcash. Wallet-connected options differ, and the exact list can change.
Assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL or other supported non-USDC deposits can arrive as spot balances and may need to be sold into USDC, USDT or the quote asset used by the market you intend to trade.
The app is the final source for what your account can use. Never infer support from a token symbol alone; chain, token contract and destination must all match.
Native USDC bridge from Arbitrum
For the native route, hold native USDC and enough ETH for gas on Arbitrum. Bridge2 documents a 5 USDC minimum and warns that smaller deposits are not credited. Deposits typically arrive quickly, but network and validator conditions can delay them.
Send a small test before a large transfer. Save the source transaction hash and check the official portfolio rather than trusting a copied status message.
Withdrawals
The official exchange documentation describes withdrawals to Arbitrum with an approximate $1 fee and a multi-minute completion window. Bridge2 documentation gives roughly three to four minutes; the onboarding page rounds this to about five.
Treat both figures as operational guidance, not a guarantee. Confirm the destination address, chain and fee shown by the app at the moment of withdrawal.
Transfer checklist
Asset movement is one of the easiest places to make an irreversible error. Slow down at the chain boundary and do not follow unsolicited support messages.
- Verify app.hyperliquid.xyz.
- Match asset, token contract and network.
- Respect the currently displayed minimum.
- Keep source-chain gas.
- Test with a small amount.
