Polymarket guide
How to withdraw from Polymarket
Withdrawing from Polymarket means moving USDC back to your own wallet — and, if you want dollars in your bank, off-ramping through an exchange. Here’s the full route from balance to cash.
Because Polymarket is crypto-based and self-custodied, withdrawing has two parts: getting your USDC out of your trading balance, and (optionally) converting that USDC to fiat. If you just want to hold or reuse the crypto, you only need the first part. New here? See the Polymarket review and deposit guide first.
Open the withdraw or cash-out screen
From your Polymarket balance, choose to withdraw. Make sure the funds aren’t locked in open positions — close or settle those first.
Withdraw USDC to your wallet
Send your USDC to your connected crypto wallet on the Polygon network. A small network fee applies. If you simply want to keep the crypto, you’re done here.
Send USDC to an exchange
To turn it into dollars, transfer the USDC from your wallet to a crypto exchange account that supports USDC withdrawals to a bank.
Sell USDC and withdraw to your bank
On the exchange, sell or redeem the USDC for US dollars, then withdraw to your linked bank account. Processing follows the exchange’s normal timelines.
Keep a little USDC spare for network fees, and always confirm you’re sending on the Polygon network to avoid lost transfers.

Frequently asked questions
How do you withdraw from Polymarket?
Withdraw your USDC to your connected wallet first. To turn it into dollars, send the USDC to a crypto exchange, sell it for fiat, and withdraw to your bank. If you just want to keep the crypto, the first step is enough.
Can you withdraw from Polymarket straight to a bank?
Not directly. Because settlement is in USDC, you withdraw the stablecoin to your wallet and then off-ramp to dollars through an exchange that supports bank withdrawals.
