The amount you get is estimated at the current rate.

The USDC Polygon → USDT ERC20 bridge runs at 1 USDC Polygon = 1 USDT ERC20. For 100 USDC Polygon you receive 100 USDT ERC20; the amount is calculated by this rate, and you only pay the Polygon PoS fee for your own transfer. You can bridge from 200 USDC Polygon. That is about $199.97.

Polygon PoS is an EVM sidechain connected to Ethereum; Ethereum is a layer-1 blockchain. Fees on Ethereum are paid in ETH: to move USDT further, keep a little ETH on the same address.

Polygon PoS vs Ethereum: network comparison

	Polygon PoS	Ethereum
Network type	Sidechain with checkpoints to Ethereum	Layer 1
Fees are paid in	POL	ETH
Fee level	low	high
Speed	fast	moderate
Block time	~2 sec	~12 sec
Address format	0x…	0x…
Memo / tag	not needed	not needed
EVM-compatible addresses (0x…)	yes	yes

Fee and speed levels are relative and depend on network load.

Crystal-Trade or a classic bridge: what is the difference

	Crystal-Trade	Classic bridge
What you receive	USDT on Ethereum	The same stablecoin; switching between USDT and USDC needs a separate swap
Wallet connection and approvals	Not needed: you send coins to the order address	Needed: you connect a wallet and sign contract transactions
Coins for fees on Ethereum	Not needed to receive	Often needed to claim funds or move them after the bridge
Time	After the Polygon PoS confirmations; the status is shown on the order page	Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks
Who holds the funds during the transfer	Crystal-Trade, for the duration of the order (with an AML check)	The bridge smart contract or its validators

How to bridge USDC Polygon from Polygon PoS to Ethereum

Enter the USDC Polygon amount in the calculator (from 200 USDC Polygon) and open the exchange form.
Paste your Ethereum address (0x…) to receive USDT ERC20.

After the Polygon PoS confirmations, USDT ERC20 is sent to your Ethereum address. The status is shown on the order page.

Exchange USDC Polygon to USDT ERC20

Before you bridge USDC Polygon to Ethereum

The receiving address must be on the Ethereum network (0x…).
Addresses on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon look the same (0x…): make sure the wallet shows Ethereum as the network.
Send USDC Polygon over Polygon PoS only — a transfer over another network will not reach the order.
The amount sent must be at least 200 USDC Polygon.
To move USDT on Ethereum later, you will need a little ETH on the same address.
Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
