Polymarket what currency?

Polymarket uses USDC (USD Coin) as its native currency. Here's how it works: USDC stablecoin - All deposits, trades, and payouts on Polymarket use USDC.

Polygon network - USDC must be on the Polygon blockchain network, not Ethereum mainnet. No other cryptocurrencies are directly supported for trading. Wallet requirement - Users need a crypto wallet (MetaMask or similar) with USDC balance.

Deposit process - Users transfer USDC to their Polymarket wallet via the Polygon network. Payouts - When you win, you receive USDC in your wallet. Conversion - You'll need to convert any other crypto to USDC before using Polymarket.
