The 1 USDC fee is deducted from your Hyperliquid balance. For the complete walkthrough including destination networks, minimums, and HyperEVM transfers, see the [withdraw USDC from Hyperliquid guide](/guides/getting-started/withdraw-usdc-from-hyperliquid). For a full breakdown of all Hyperliquid costs, see our [fee guide](/guides/fees/fees-explained). --- ## Troubleshooting: Why Your Withdrawal Is Not Working ### 1. Insufficient Available Balance This is the most common cause. Your **total balance** and **available balance** are different. If you have open positions, much of your USDC is locked as margin. **Fix:** Close or reduce positions to free up margin. Check the "Available" amount on your Portfolio page - that is what you can actually withdraw. > **Warning:** If you try to withdraw more than your available balance, the transaction will fail silently or show an error. Always check available balance first. ### 2. Withdrawal Stuck on "Pending" Withdrawals require Hyperliquid validators to sign the transaction before it is relayed to Arbitrum. During high network activity, this can take longer than usual. **How long to wait:** Give it up to 10 minutes. If your withdrawal has not arrived after 15 minutes, check your wallet address on [arbiscan.io](https://arbiscan.io) to see if the transaction has landed on Arbitrum. **Fix:** In most cases, just wait. Validator signing delays resolve on their own. If the withdrawal is still pending after 15 minutes, try refreshing the page with `Ctrl + Shift + R` and check Hyperliquid's Discord for any network announcements. ### 3. Forgot About the 1 USDC Fee If you try to withdraw your entire balance, the transaction may fail because there is not enough left to cover the 1 USDC withdrawal fee. **Fix:** Withdraw your balance minus 1 USDC. For example, if you have 500 USDC available, withdraw 499 USDC. ### 4. Wallet or Browser Issues Sometimes the withdrawal button does not respond, or the transaction fails to submit to your wallet for signing. **Fix:** 1. Hard refresh the page (`Ctrl + Shift + R`) 2. Disconnect and reconnect your wallet 3. Try a different browser 4. Clear cache for `app.hyperliquid.xyz` ### 5. Withdrawing to a Different Address Hyperliquid does not support withdrawals to arbitrary addresses. Funds always go back to the wallet you connected with. **Fix:** Withdraw to your connected wallet on Arbitrum, then send from there to the destination address. If you need to move funds to a centralized exchange, deposit to the exchange from your Arbitrum wallet after the withdrawal completes. --- ## How to Verify Your Withdrawal on Arbiscan If your withdrawal seems stuck, Arbiscan is the best way to check its status: 1. Open [arbiscan.io](https://arbiscan.io) 2. Paste your wallet address in the search bar 3. Look for an incoming USDC transfer from the Hyperliquid bridge contract 4. If the transfer is there, your withdrawal succeeded - your wallet or browser may just need a refresh > **Key takeaway:** If Arbiscan shows the USDC in your wallet, the withdrawal worked. Refresh your wallet app or reconnect to see the updated balance. If there is no incoming transaction on Arbiscan, the withdrawal is still being processed by validators on the Hyperliquid side. Wait a few more minutes and check again. --- ## Related Guides - **[How to Deposit USDC to Hyperliquid](/guides/getting-started/deposit-usdc-to-hyperliquid)** - Full deposit walkthrough - **[Deposit Not Showing?](/troubleshooting/deposit-not-showing)** - Troubleshoot missing deposits - **[Bridge to Hyperliquid](/guides/getting-started/bridge-to-hyperliquid)** - Bridging funds from other chains - **[Hyperliquid Fees Explained](/guides/fees/fees-explained)** - Complete fee breakdown including withdrawal costs **Trade with Lower Fees** — Sign up through our referral link and get a 4% lifetime discount on all Hyperliquid trading fees.
