How to Transfer USDC from Kraken to TAG Markets

A step-by-step walkthrough for moving your crypto dollars into your TAG Markets trading account — fast, low-cost, and fully under your control.

Why USDC?

USDC (USD Coin) is a fully-backed stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. It's the fastest and cheapest way to fund your TAG Markets account. Transfers typically confirm within minutes and cost a fraction of what traditional bank wires charge.

Using Kraken — one of the world's most trusted and longest-running crypto exchanges — you can buy USDC with fiat currency and send it directly to your TAG Markets deposit address.
