Everything you do on Belief Systems flows through a single cash balance – a per-investor account, much like the settlement cash in a brokerage account. You add money to it, deploy that money to mint shares in any series, and your redemption proceeds flow back into it. When you want your money out, you withdraw from the same balance.
The cash balance is platform-wide, not tied to any one series. Fund it once and you can invest across every series; everything you redeem returns to the same place.

​
Two ways in, two ways out

There are two rails for moving money, and they work the same whether you’re funding your account or cashing out. Pick whichever fits how you already hold money – you can use both, and you can mix them (deposit by wire, withdraw to a wallet, or vice versa). You choose the rail right in the deposit or withdraw panel. The rest of this page walks through each one.

​
Depositing

​
USDC from a crypto wallet

Deposit USDC from an Ethereum mainnet wallet. You enter an amount, sign two transactions, and the funds land in your cash balance – typically in 30–60 minutes.
1

Enter an amount

Open the deposit panel and enter the dollar amount. The receipt card shows exactly what to expect: the amount, your sending wallet, the estimated time, the number of wallet approvals (2), and that Ethereum gas, paid by you, is the only network fee.
2

Approve USDC

Your wallet asks you to approve USDC for the deposit. This is a one-time approval per wallet – future deposits skip this step.
3

Submit the deposit

Sign the second transaction. Once it confirms on Ethereum, the funds are en route to your Belief Systems account.
4

Funds appear in your cash balance

Typical settlement is 30–60 minutes, end to end. The deposit appears in your Recent Activity with on-chain receipts you can verify on Etherscan.
Your USDC moves from Ethereum mainnet to our settlement network on Polygon through the Polygon PoS bridge – public infrastructure built and operated by Polygon Labs, used by hundreds of institutions and audited extensively. Once the bridge finalizes (typically 30–60 minutes), the USDC is automatically converted into pUSD (the dollar-pegged stablecoin used inside our custody) and credited to your cash balance. You don’t need to take any action during the wait – the deposit panel updates when the funds arrive.

​
USD by bank wire

If you’d rather not move funds on-chain, fund your account with a US dollar bank wire. In the deposit panel, choose USD via bank wire to see our receiving details and your personal reference code.
1

Acknowledge and view the details

Accept the short wire terms once, then you’ll see the beneficiary, bank, routing number, account number, and your reference code.
2

Send the wire from your bank

Wire from a bank account in your own name, and put your reference code in the wire memo – it’s how we match your transfer to your account. The beneficiary is True Craft Ventures LLC, the legal entity that operates Belief Systems.
3

We credit your cash balance

Domestic wires usually take 1–3 business days to reach us. Once your wire lands, we credit your cash balance – typically within one business day.
A bank wire is an investment subscription, not a bank deposit. The funds are received by True Craft Ventures LLC into a dedicated account used solely for investor subscriptions and redemptions, separate from operating funds; it is a company account (not a third-party custodial account) and is not FDIC-insured. Wires are final and cannot be reversed. Send only from an account in your own name, and always include your reference code so we can identify your transfer.

​
Withdrawing

You can withdraw any available part of your cash balance through either rail. Once you submit, there’s nothing more to manage – withdrawals are processed for you. See What’s available to withdraw below for what counts as available.

​
USDC to a crypto wallet

You receive native USDC on Ethereum mainnet, sent directly to your connected wallet. Belief Systems covers the Ethereum gas for the payout, so you receive the full amount you requested.
1

Request the withdrawal

Enter the dollar amount to withdraw from your cash balance. It returns to your connected wallet as native USDC on Ethereum mainnet.
2

Sit tight – it's processed automatically

No further action is needed. Your withdrawal is processed behind the scenes and usually completes within a few hours. See Asset Security for the safeguards each withdrawal passes through.
3

Funds arrive

Your USDC lands in your wallet on Ethereum mainnet, and you’ll see a transaction confirmation in your Recent Activity once it’s delivered on-chain.

​
USD by bank wire

You can also cash out as a US dollar bank wire to your own bank account. Choose USD to my bank when you withdraw, accept the short terms, and enter your receiving account details (holder name, routing number, account number).
1

Request the wire

Enter the amount and your receiving bank details. Your available balance is locked when you submit, so it can’t be spent twice.
2

We send the wire

We send a US dollar wire to the account you provided, typically within 1–3 business days. You can track the request in your Withdrawals.
Payouts are sent only to a bank account in your own name. Bank wires are final and cannot be reversed, so double-check the routing and account numbers you enter – you are responsible for their accuracy. We send the amount requested; for international banks, intermediary fees may reduce what arrives.

​
What’s available to withdraw

You can withdraw the unlocked portion of your cash balance through either rail. Some funds aren’t available because they’re committed elsewhere:
Withdrawals run through a managed custody framework – human approval plus automated solvency checks – rather than the permissionless withdrawal of a decentralized protocol. That adds security but means withdrawals are not instant, and may be delayed, restricted, or suspended for operational, security, or risk-management reasons. Belief Systems maintains operational control over custody during the alpha program. See Asset Security for details.

​
Good to know

Your cash balance is held in custody controlled by Belief Systems. It is not a bank deposit – there is no FDIC insurance, SIPC protection, or equivalent guarantee. The safety of your funds depends on the operational integrity of the custody infrastructure.
USDC withdrawals usually complete within a few hours and wires within 1–3 business days, but these are typical times, not commitments. Because withdrawals pass through human approval and automated safeguards, they can take longer in periods of market stress. No action is needed from you while a withdrawal processes.
If you have an outstanding mint order, those funds stay locked until the order is filled, partially filled, or cancelled. Cancel a pending order to unlock the funds before the next NAV window processes.
