⚡ Quick Summary
- What it does: Converts 160+ fiat currencies with live mid-market rates updated hourly from interbank forex markets. No sign-up, no ads, instant.
- Mid-market vs retail: Banks and exchange bureaus typically add 1–3% spread on top of the mid-market rate shown here. Wise offers retail rates closest to mid-market for international transfers.
- Key insight for crypto traders: Polymarket pays out in USDC (pegged to USD). If you live outside the US, your real return = prediction market return × USD/your-currency rate. A 20% win on Polymarket becomes 15% or 25% depending on FX moves.
- Bottom line: Always check the current USD rate in your home currency before calculating your true P&L on Polymarket. FX is a hidden variable most non-USD traders ignore.
