How to Bridge to Hyperliquid: USDC via Arbitrum
Bridge USDC to Hyperliquid via Arbitrum One in under a minute. Minimum 5 USDC deposit, 1 USDC withdrawal fee. Step-by-step guide to funding your account.
What the Native Bridge Supports
Hyperliquid's native bridge supports USDC deposits from Arbitrum One into your Hyperliquid account. If your funds are on another chain or in another token, you need to move into Arbitrum USDC first.
Key Bridge Facts
The native bridge uses Arbitrum One USDC. The minimum deposit is 5 USDC, and deposits are typically credited in under a minute once the Arbitrum transaction confirms.
Hyperliquid does not add a separate deposit fee, but you still pay normal Arbitrum gas for the transaction. Withdrawals back to Arbitrum carry a flat 1 USDC fee.
How to Deposit USDC
Hold USDC on Arbitrum One and keep a small amount of ETH on Arbitrum for gas. If your funds are on another chain, bridge or swap them into Arbitrum USDC first.
In the Hyperliquid app, connect your wallet and use the deposit flow to send USDC from Arbitrum into your account. Confirm the transaction in your wallet and wait for the balance to be credited.
How Withdrawals Work
Start the withdrawal from your Hyperliquid account and send USDC back to your Arbitrum wallet. The bridge deducts a flat 1 USDC fee from the withdrawal amount.
After the funds arrive on Arbitrum, you can keep them there, bridge them elsewhere, or off-ramp through a separate service.
Fiat Deposit Alternative
If you do not already hold crypto, Hyperliquid also offers a separate fiat deposit path through swapped.com for credit card and bank transfer purchases.
That path is distinct from the native bridge. Use it when you need a fiat on-ramp; use the Arbitrum USDC bridge when you already have crypto funds ready to deposit.
