Swapping ETH for BTC
Live ETH to BTC rate and quote
This route converts Ethereum (ETH) into Bitcoin (BTC) with non-custodial execution. Use the live quote above to account for current market liquidity, network load, and route availability before you confirm.
Step-by-step: complete your swap
- Choose how much Ethereum (ETH) you want to send and select a flow type. Fixed helps with predictability; standard can be better during calm books.
- Enter a valid Bitcoin (BTC) receiving address and confirm the network context shown in the selector.
- Create the swap to generate a one-time deposit address and any extra fields (memo/tag) required for settlement.
- Send Ethereum (ETH), wait for confirmation rules on that chain, then Bitcoin (BTC) is released to your destination address.
Asset context and network notes
Ethereum gas fees depend on current network demand.
Native BTC transfers are UTXO-based. Fees vary with mempool congestion.
Common ETH use cases: DeFi collateral, onchain settlements, token routing. Common BTC use cases: long-term treasury, value transfer, portfolio hedge.
Standard vs fixed exchange rate

- Fixed: Attempts to lock a quoted output for a short validity window; useful when planning exact receive amounts.

Minimum and maximum send amounts are enforced in the live quote widget; they change with liquidity and route policy.
Timing and chain confirmations
Confirmation behavior: Usually visible quickly; finality confidence increases after additional blocks. on the send side and Usually 1-3 confirmations for intermediate confidence. on the receive side. Total time depends on both chains, congestion, and route liquidity.
Before you send (safety checklist)
Always verify token/network compatibility; ERC-20 assets are not interchangeable with other networks. BTC fees can spike quickly in volatile periods; send with appropriate miner fee. Information here is educational and may omit edge cases (maintenance windows, route suspensions, compliance checks). Always verify addresses/networks before sending.
