How to deposit USDC

September 16, 2026

To deposit USDC into your Paribu account, you need to transfer from the platform or wallet you are sending from to Paribu's USDC deposit address. USDC can be deposited over multiple networks; each network has different deposit addresses, transaction times, and fees. Selecting the right network ensures that the transaction is completed quickly and at low cost.

How is USDC deposited?

To deposit USDC on Paribu web, click the USDC asset on the Wallet page, click the Deposit button in the window that opens, and determine your deposit network. After selecting the network, copy the deposit address shown or use the QR code, then make a transfer from the platform or wallet you are sending from to this address. Each network has a different arrival time; you can see it in the Arrival time field on the deposit screen.

Before you start

  • You must have completed your account verification
  • Check which networks the platform you are sending from supports

Deposit USDC

  1. Open Paribu.com and go to the Wallet page
  2. Click the USDC asset on the asset list
  3. Click the Deposit button in the window that opens
  4. Select the network you want to deposit on in the Select deposit network field
  5. Copy the deposit address on the screen or use the QR code
  6. Make a transfer from the platform or wallet you are sending from to the address you copied by selecting the same network

Warning: Make sure that the same network is selected on the sending and receiving sides. Using a different network may result in asset loss. For example, an ERC-20 address can only be used over the Ethereum network.

Instead of copying the address manually, you can send using the QR code. If the platform you are sending from supports QR scanning, the address is transferred without errors.

Which network should I select?

USDC exists on multiple blockchain networks. When selecting a network, evaluate the networks supported by the platform you are sending from, the arrival time, and the fee together.

Three networks are available for USDC:

Network Network fee
Ethereum (ERC-20) High
Solana (SOL) Low
Arc Low

The arrival time for each network is shown in the Arrival time field once you select the network. On the Arc network, a deposit takes approximately 10 minutes.

Recommendations for network selection:

  • If speed is the priority: The Solana network is noticeably faster than Ethereum
  • If the sending platform only supports ERC-20: Select ERC-20; the same network must be used on both sending and receiving sides
  • Lowest fee: The Solana and Arc networks are noticeably lower-fee than Ethereum
  • If you use the Arc network: the transaction takes approximately 10 minutes; the network fee is paid in USDC

Note: A separate deposit address is generated for each network. When you change the network, the address on the screen also changes.

Important information

  • Use the USDC deposit address only over the network you have selected; sending over a different network may result in asset loss
  • Make sure that the same network is selected on the sending and receiving sides
  • No fee is charged by Paribu for USDC deposits; the network fee is paid on the blockchain by the sender
  • A separate deposit address is generated for each network; copy the address again when the network changes
  • When your deposit reaches Paribu, you need to complete the Travel Rule information entry; uncompleted transfers are kept on hold
  • The minimum deposit amount may vary by asset
