Hyperliquid Deposits & Withdrawals
Mechanics verified against official Hyperliquid docs on 2026-07-16.
Moving funds onto and off Hyperliquid is built around a single quote asset — USDC — with a handful of other assets accepted as spot deposits. This page covers the accepted deposit chains, the assets and networks Hyperliquid supports beyond USDC, and what a withdrawal costs. For a broader walkthrough of setting up an account, see our Hyperliquid how-to-start guide.
Deposits
The primary deposit route is USDC, accepted from Arbitrum, Ethereum, Base, or Polygon. The flow is the same regardless of source chain: enter the amount, click Deposit, and confirm the transaction in your connected wallet.
Beyond USDC, Hyperliquid's spot markets accept a further set of assets, each tied to a specific chain:
| Asset | Chain |
|---|---|
| BTC | Bitcoin |
| ETH, ENA | Ethereum |
| SOL, BONK, FARTCOIN, PUMP, SPX and others | Solana |
| AVAX | Avalanche |
| MON | Monad |
| XPL | Plasma |
| ZEC | Zcash |
Depositing one of these non-USDC assets credits a spot balance, not perp collateral. It has to be sold into the quote asset (USDC) before it can back a perpetual position. Treat these as a spot on-ramp rather than a direct route into margin.
The official documentation states there is no minimum deposit amount.
Withdrawals
The API docs' withdrawal section says "there is a $1 fee for withdrawing at the time of this writing". The onboarding FAQ adds that "depending on the withdrawal chain and method, there may be small gas fees to process the withdrawal" — so budget for $1 plus whatever the destination chain needs. The docs do not publish a per-chain withdrawal schedule.
The steps, per the docs: click the Withdraw button in the bottom right of the trade screen and follow the steps.
The docs do not specify a withdrawal processing time, so we won't put a number on it here — treat any speed claim you see elsewhere as unverified.
Practical cautions
- Double-check the receiving chain before confirming any deposit or withdrawal — sending to the wrong network on a bridge-based flow is not reversible.
- A small test deposit before moving a larger amount is a reasonable practice, especially the first time you use a new chain or wallet.
- Bridge risk exists while funds are in transit between chains. See our Hyperliquid safety review for a fuller risk breakdown.
