How to Withdraw from Axiom Perps

Money in Axiom perps is USDC on Hyperliquid, so taking it out means converting it back to the Solana side first. It takes about five minutes. Here is the order to do things in, and what blocks a withdrawal.

  1. Free up the margin
  2. Convert USDC back to Solana
  3. Then trade it or take it out
  4. Plan around the five minutes

Free up the margin

Axiom perps Positions, Open Orders and Trades tabs below the chart
Positions and Open Orders both hold margin. Clear them before you move money.

Margin backing an open position, or reserved by a limit order, can't be moved. Check the Positions tab and close what you want to cash out, then look at Open Orders and cancel anything still waiting. What is left is your free balance, shown as Available Margin on the order panel.

Convert USDC back to Solana

Axiom Exchange window converting USDC on Hyperliquid back to USDC on Solana
The same Convert window as on the way in, pointed the other way.
  1. Click the SOL-USDC button at the top right.
  2. Press the swap arrows to open Convert.
  3. Flip the direction so you are converting USDC on Hyperliquid into USDC on Solana.
  4. Type the amount and press Convert.

Axiom's docs give the timing: the USDC arrives on Solana after about five minutes. Nothing is wrong if it doesn't show at once; check the Solana tab of the wallet after a few minutes.

The four steps to withdraw from Axiom perps back to Solana
Close, convert, wait, then use it.

Then trade it or take it out

Back on Solana, the USDC behaves like any other balance. Keep it for spot trading, convert it to SOL, or send it out of Axiom. Withdrawing to Phantom is covered in How to Withdraw from Axiom to Phantom, and to an exchange in How to Withdraw from Axiom to Coinbase or Binance.

Plan around the five minutes

Five minutes is nothing on a quiet day and a long time when you want to buy a coin that is moving. Keep a SOL balance for spot trading rather than counting on pulling money out of perps at short notice, and convert back the evening before you need the money, not the moment you need it. The Axiom perps guide covers how the Hyperliquid side works.
