Transfer funds

Moving funds across chains & bank accounts

Transfers let you move funds between different accounts, whether from one crypto wallet to another or between crypto and fiat. You can use Transfers to bridge stablecoins (e.g., moving USDC from Ethereum to Polygon), convert bank deposits to crypto, or withdraw crypto to your bank account. The process is straightforward: select your source, choose your destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transfer. You can track the status of each transfer in the Transfers tab.

Tip: This unified flow saves you from juggling multiple exchanges or third-party bridging tools.
