Funding your account
Crypto-native prediction markets don't take card payments — you connect a wallet and fund your account with crypto, usually USDC. These are the wallets you'll see most often, and the listed platforms that support them.

It depends on the platform's funding type.
Regulated, fiat-funded platforms such as Kalshi or PredictIt take ordinary bank or card deposits — no wallet required. Crypto-native platforms such as Polymarket, Limitless or SX Bet require a self-custody wallet funded with crypto, most often USDC on Polygon or another low-fee network.
A wallet also means you are responsible for your own funds: there is no password reset if you lose your recovery phrase, and sending to the wrong network can lose money permanently. Start small and double-check the network shown by the platform before depositing.
