Cashing Out from Polymarket

Polymarket pays winnings in USDC on Polygon. To get cash in your bank account, you need to: (1) withdraw USDC from Polymarket, (2) send to an exchange, (3) sell USDC for USD, and (4) transfer to your bank.

The entire process typically takes 1-3 business days and costs $1-5 in total fees depending on your route. Coinbase offers the simplest path for US-based traders.

Cash Out via Coinbase (Fastest)

Coinbase supports Polygon USDC deposits. Copy your Coinbase USDC deposit address (select Polygon network), then withdraw from Polymarket to that address. USDC arrives in minutes.

Once USDC is in Coinbase, sell for USD and withdraw to your linked bank account. Coinbase ACH transfers are free and arrive in 1-3 business days. Instant cashouts via debit card cost ~1.5% but arrive immediately.

Alternative Cash-Out Routes

Kraken, Binance, and other exchanges also support Polygon USDC deposits. Kraken offers wire transfers that process in 1 business day. Binance supports P2P trading for direct fiat conversion.

For non-US traders, local exchanges may offer better rates and faster bank transfers. Use an exchange that supports your local currency and bank network.

Fee Breakdown

Polymarket withdrawal: $0.00 (free, just tiny Polygon gas). Exchange deposit: free on most exchanges. USDC sell spread: typically 0.1-0.5%. Bank withdrawal: $0-25 depending on method.

Total cost for a $1,000 cash-out via Coinbase ACH: approximately $1-5 total. Using Coinbase debit card instant withdrawal adds ~$15 (1.5%) but gets money to you same day.
