How to Swap Bitcoin to Ethereum
Swapping BTC for ETH is simple, but the details matter. You send Bitcoin and receive Ether on Ethereum. Before you approve, check the BTC amount, ETH amount, rate type, and receive address. A typo or wrong network can make a routine trade a permanent loss.
Use a wallet you control, allow for the Bitcoin send fee, and save the transaction ID. BTC confirmations can take time if the chain is busy. Don't rush for a quote that lasts a few minutes. Read the final screen and compare the ETH due. For a large sum, a small test swap is sensible.

How to Swap BITCOIN to ETHEREUM
- 1. Choose BTC as the asset you are sending and ETH as the asset you want to receive.
- 2. Enter your Ethereum wallet address and confirm it is an address for ETH on Ethereum.
- 3. Review the quoted BTC amount, expected ETH amount, rate type, and any time limit.
- 4. Send the exact BTC amount to the provided Bitcoin address from your wallet.
- 5. Wait for Bitcoin network confirmations, then track the ETH transfer to your wallet.
Safety Tips
- Compare the final ETH amount you will receive, not just the headline exchange rate.
- Fixed rates can help if you want certainty, while floating rates can change before the swap completes.
- Copy and paste addresses, then verify the first and last characters before sending.
- Avoid sending your full balance without leaving enough BTC for the network fee.
- For a substantial BTC to ETH swap, send a small test amount first if timing and fees allow.

Other Pairs You Can Swap
Can I send BTC directly to an Ethereum address?
No. Bitcoin and Ethereum use different networks and address formats. Send BTC only to the Bitcoin deposit address provided for the swap, then use your Ethereum address as the destination for the ETH payout.
Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for BTC to ETH?
A fixed rate gives you a clearer ETH outcome if market prices move during the swap. A floating rate may change while Bitcoin confirmations are pending, so the ETH received can differ from the initial estimate.
Why is my BTC to ETH swap taking longer than expected?
Bitcoin transfers usually need confirmations before ETH can be sent. Delays can occur if the Bitcoin network is busy, the transaction fee was low, or the swap requires more confirmations for the amount sent.
Which network should I use for the ETH payout?
Use an Ethereum address that supports native ETH on the Ethereum network unless the swap screen clearly states another supported network. Sending ETH through the wrong network can make recovery difficult or impossible.
