The figure is indicative; the exact amount is locked in the order.
One USDC Arbitrum buys 1.0001 USDC Polygon right now; the other way round, 1 USDC Polygon is 0.9999 USDC Arbitrum. Market over 24 hours: USDC Arbitrum against USDC Polygon a move of 0%. The week added a move of 0%.
The weekly corridor ran from 1 to 1 USDC Polygon, a spread of 0%. A single order takes 200 to 10,000,000 USDC Arbitrum. In dollars that is roughly $199.94.
The payout leaves in the Polygon network, so the receiving address has to belong to that network.
Who takes the USDC Arbitrum → USDC Polygon route
- Moving between networksUSDC in Arbitrum One (fee ≈ $0.0031) becomes Polygon (fee ≈ $0.0016) — the usual way to top up a wallet or an exchange that speaks one network only.
- A road both waysThe USDC Polygon → USDC Arbitrum direction is open too, so going back into USDC takes the same route.

Payout network for USDC
The same USDC goes out in several networks. Rates and lower limits differ, and the fee is charged by the network itself.
| Network | Per USDC Arbitrum | From | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum (ERC20) | 1.0001 | 200 USDC Arbitrum | ≈ $0.0095 | medium |
| Solana | 1.0001 | 200 USDC Arbitrum | ≈ $0.00049 | fast |

How the USDC Arbitrum → USDC Polygon order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 200 USDC Arbitrum.
- Enter a USDC address in Polygon and a way to reach you.
- Send USDC Arbitrum in Arbitrum One for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, USD Coin Polygon leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending USDC Arbitrum
- The address network is Polygon. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 200 USDC Arbitrum.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to Polygon PoS.
- To move USDC on later, put a little POL at the same address.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
Arbitrum One against Polygon PoS
| Arbitrum One | Polygon PoS | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | L2, optimistic rollup | Sidechain with checkpoints in Ethereum |
| Fees are paid in | ETH | POL |
| Fee level | ≈ $0.0031 | ≈ $0.0016 |
| Speed | fast | fast |
| Block | ~0.25 sec | ~2 sec |
| Address shape | 0x… | 0x… |
| Memo or tag | not needed | not needed |
| Ethereum-style address (0x…) | yes | yes |
| Official withdrawal to Ethereum | ≈ 7 days (challenge period) | — |
Fee and speed levels are comparative: both move with how busy the network is.
How this differs from a classic bridge
| RubyCash | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What lands at your address | USDC in Polygon PoS | Depends: in some networks it is the bridged version of the token |
| Wallet and signatures | Not needed: the coins go to the address from the order | Needed: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions |
| A coin for fees in Polygon PoS | Not needed to receive | Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| Timing | After confirmations in Arbitrum One; the order page tracks it | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds meanwhile | RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check | The bridge contract or its validators |

Common questions: USDC Arbitrum → USDC Polygon
What rate does USDC Arbitrum to USDC Polygon run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 02:18 it is 1 USDC Arbitrum = 1.0001 USDC Polygon. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $0.999824.
What amounts does USDC Arbitrum → USDC Polygon accept?
From 200 to 10,000,000 USDC Arbitrum per order. The lower limit is roughly $199.94.
Where does the 200 USDC Arbitrum floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 200 USDC Arbitrum the swap stops making sense for either side.
What else is taken on top of the rate?
The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending USDC Arbitrum, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does USDC Arbitrum to USDC Polygon take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Arbitrum One confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Arbitrum One closes in about 0.25 sec.
Will native USDC arrive, or a wrapper?
USDC Polygon is the standard USDC token in Polygon PoS — exactly what exchanges send when they withdraw into this network.
Do I need POL to receive USDC Polygon?
Not to receive. POL comes into play later, when you want to send USDC from your address.
Which network will USDC Polygon arrive in?
The payout leaves in Polygon. Make sure the receiving wallet works with that network.
Where is receiving USDC cheaper?
The cheapest is usually USDC SOL, USDC Polygon, USDC BEP20, USDC AVAX C, USDC Optimism. Still, the network is chosen by what the recipient supports, not by the fee.
What if the rate moves while I am paying?
The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
Can I go back, USDC Polygon to USDC Arbitrum?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 USDC Polygon = 1.0001 USDC Arbitrum. The link sits right under the calculator.
