How to Fund Your Account: Deposit USDC Step by Step

To trade or copy trades, you fund your own wallet with USDC on the Arbitrum network. Because PurffleTrade is non-custodial, the money goes straight to your wallet — we never hold it. Here's how to do it safely.

Important: only send USDC on the Arbitrum One network to your deposit address. Sending a different coin, or USDC on a different network, can result in permanently lost funds.

Option A — Send from an exchange (most common)

If you already hold crypto on Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, Kraken or Crypto.com, you can withdraw USDC directly to your PurffleTrade wallet:

1. 1In PurffleTrade, open your Wallet and tap Deposit → Transfer from an exchange. Copy your wallet address.
2. 2On your exchange, go to Withdraw and select USDC.
3. 3Paste your PurffleTrade address as the destination.
4. 4Choose Arbitrum One (sometimes shown as "Arbitrum" or "ARB") as the network.
5. 5Enter an amount of at least 5 USDC and confirm the withdrawal.

Funds usually arrive in 1–5 minutes. Once they land, your balance updates and you can activate trading.

Option B — Buy with a card

Prefer to buy directly? Use the Buy with card option to purchase USDC with a debit/credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. It's delivered straight to your wallet on Arbitrum, ready to trade.

Option C — Send from another wallet

If you already self-custody crypto, just send USDC on Arbitrum from your existing wallet (e.g. MetaMask) to your PurffleTrade address. Scan the QR code or paste the address.

Why Arbitrum?

Arbitrum is a fast, low-cost Ethereum network. It's where trades settle, so funding there means your USDC is ready to trade immediately with negligible network fees. PurffleTrade itself charges zero platform fees.
