A fiat deposit refers to the process of depositing traditional currency, such as the US dollar, euro, or British pound, into a financial institution or platform. This type of deposit typically involves transferring money from a bank account to a brokerage, exchange, or other financial service, enabling users to trade or invest in various assets. Fiat deposits are essential for converting real-world currency into digital currencies or other investment vehicles.
You must understand what fiat is first. This is money that is backed by nothing of any intrinsic value. Our currency for instance is no longer backed by gold, instead it is backed by government debt. When used in the political context of executive fiat, it describes a president using power that isn't backed up by law. Therefore on its face, it is as worthless as our currency is becoming
Fiat money is authorized by a country's central bank or monetary authority, which has the legal power to issue and regulate currency. This authority is typically backed by the government, which establishes the currency's legal tender status. Unlike commodity money, fiat money does not have intrinsic value; its value is derived from trust in the issuing authority and the stability of the economy.
Fiat can have two meanings depending on context. Fiat regards the model of a compact car found across the world. Fiat also has the meaning of a currency that is not backed by tangible value but by government credit. For example: The United States Dollar and the Euro are both fiat currencies because they are not backed by the gold (or precious metal) standard.

Fiat currency is based on faith that it is worth something, much like an IOU. If the authority printing that currency has good credit, the currency will be worth more, and the opposite is true, as well. Gold-backed currency is just that: currency which represents the exact value of gold printed on it. So, a $1 treasury note = $1 in gold. Traditionally, with a gold-backed currency, you, the holder of that note, would be able to go down to your local bank and exchange that note for the same amount of gold. In short, with a fiat currency, everyone agrees that it's worth that amount, and it is subject to national credit ratings. With a metal-standard currency, the currency is based on the price and value of a particular metal, like gold. There are currently no gold-backed currencies. Every currency in the world is a fiat currency.

Fiat currency is Currency that a government has declared to be legal tender, but is not backed by a physical commodity. The value of fiat money is derived from the relationship between supply and demand rather than the value of the material that the money is made of. Historically, most currencies were based on physical commodities such as gold or silver, but fiat money is based solely on faith. Ref: alpari.com/en/beginner/glossary
