Most missing deposits on Hyperliquid come down to four things: how you are connected, the 5 USDC floor, sending the wrong asset or network, and looking at the wrong balance. Each has a different answer, and two of them are worth knowing before you send anything. This guide uses Hyperliquid's own support documentation as its source and says so wherever a detail depends on it.
Which networks work depends on how you signed in to Hyperliquid.
In both cases the asset is USDC. Hyperliquid's documentation says that if you sent a different asset, or sent USDC on any other network, it will not be credited.
There is a minimum, and what happens below it depends on the flow.
That makes a tiny test transaction a risky way to check the route: a test send under the minimum can cost you the test amount outright. If you want to confirm the path before a larger transfer, send an amount comfortably above 5 USDC. You will want some margin to trade with anyway, and a first deposit does not need to be large: on Trending, for example, a position can be opened with $20 of margin.
For email-connected accounts, Hyperliquid's documentation says that anything other than USDC on a supported network, sent to the Across deposit address, is automatically redirected to your email wallet within 10 minutes. You can then retrieve it from the email wallet, and Hyperliquid documents how to export that wallet.
For wallet-connected accounts the documentation lists Arbitrum USDC as the only supported route and does not describe a recovery path for anything else. Treat "check the network and the token" as a step you do before you confirm the transaction, not after.
Two different things cause this, and neither means the money is gone.
Which balance you are looking at. Hyperliquid has account modes that treat balances differently. In a unified account there is a single balance for each asset, and USDC is the single source for perps and spot trading, so there is nothing to transfer. In standard mode, perp and spot balances are separate, so USDC sitting in spot has to be moved to your perps balance before it can back a perp position. Hyperliquid's account abstraction documentation describes each mode.
Open positions can absorb it. If you have open cross-margin positions with negative unrealized profit and loss, a deposit, or a spot-to-perps transfer, goes toward collateral for those positions first. Your available balance can therefore be smaller than what you sent even though nothing went missing.
Trending does not hold your funds. They stay in your own Hyperliquid account, and the agent key Trending uses is authorised with withdrawals disabled. A deposit problem is a Hyperliquid account problem, so the checks above apply whichever interface you use. Once the funds are in, Trending lets you open the first position from the chart.
Minimums, supported networks and deposit flows change. Everything here reflects Hyperliquid's support documentation as checked on 1 October 2026; confirm against the current documentation before sending a large amount. If a specific deposit has gone missing, Hyperliquid's own support documentation and channels are the authority, not this page.
