Swap BTC to ETH: Bitcoin to Ethereum exchange
The largest cross-chain trade in crypto, run here without an account, a deposit balance, or an identity check.
Swapping Bitcoin (BTC) to Ethereum (ETH)
These are the two assets everything else is measured against, and they answer different questions. Bitcoin is a fixed-supply settlement asset with deliberately limited scripting; Ethereum is a programmable platform whose value tracks the smart contracts and activity built on it. Rotating from one to the other is usually a decision about which of those two theses you want more exposure to over the long term. It is not a trade you make for a few basis points.
It is also the deepest pair we route, which shows up in the spread. More of the partners we exchange crypto through quote BTC/ETH than any other combination, and the winning quote is usually within a hair of the next. On the receiving end, give an ETH wallet address you control rather than a custodial account if you intend to use it on-chain. Gas has to be paid from the same address that signs, and coins in someone else’s custody cannot sign anything.
Most people running this are not liquidating Bitcoin so much as funding something — a position in an application, a stablecoin balance, a contract interaction — that only exists on Ethereum. That framing matters for sizing: fund what the activity needs plus gas, rather than converting a holding wholesale into an asset with a different risk profile. There is no need to create an account to do it: enter the amount, give the two addresses, confirm the transaction from your own wallet, and the ETH follows the deposit. Nobody can convert BTC to ETH instantly — the Bitcoin deposit has to confirm before the Ethereum payout is sent. To convert ETH to BTC instead, flip the widget: the ETH to BTC exchange is quoted by the same partners, and you can swap ETH to BTC, no KYC, on the same terms.

Those are reference figures, not offers; the widget above is the live calculator for any amount. When you request this swap we compare live rates across several independent liquidity partners and show the best receive amount, which is what the order is created with. The partner's spread, our commission and the fee for delivering ETH to your wallet are already inside it — see fees and how the comparison works.
Convert BTC to ETH: conversion rate and estimated amount
To convert BTC to ETH, enter the exchange amount in the widget. The ETH converter tool then shows the estimated amount you will receive. That figure is the BTC to ETH conversion rate from the best of our partners at that moment, with every fee already taken off. It is a receive amount, not a mid-market price. The widget doubles as a BTC to ETH exchange and price calculator: change the amount and the BTC to ETH conversion updates with it, with no order created.
The rate moves with market conditions across the cryptocurrency market, so the estimated amount is only current until you confirm. At that point it is priced once more, and the order is created at the rate you were shown. Converting Bitcoin costs nothing beyond that figure except one thing: the Bitcoin transaction fee your own wallet pays to send the deposit. On some chains those are called gas fees. They depend on network conditions, not on us.
The exchange process has one manual step, which is sending the deposit. Everything after it is automatic. Once the exchange is completed, the ETH is in your wallet and the swap's data is purged. If something looks wrong before then — a deposit below the minimum, a transfer on the wrong network — the support team can be reached with your swap link. The refund address you set is where funds return.
BTC to ETH minimum amount, network fee and exchange rate
- Minimum amount
- The live minimum amount of BTC for this pair is shown in the widget before you confirm. It moves with network conditions rather than being a fixed figure, and there is no maximum.
- Network fee
- The fee for delivering ETH to your wallet is already inside the receive amount. The one cost outside the quote is the Bitcoin network fee your own wallet pays to broadcast the deposit.
- Exchange rate
- The BTC to ETH exchange rate is compared in real time across several partners when you enter the amount, and re-priced server-side the moment you confirm, so the rate you see is the rate the order is created with.
- Confirmations
- The exchange runs once the BTC deposit has the network confirmations the partner requires, and Bitcoin produces a block every ~10 min. How many it waits for depends on the amount, so the tracking page shows the live count.
Instant BTC to ETH swaps
Every BTC to ETH swap is processed automatically as soon as the required blockchain confirmations land — no manual approval, no review queue, no waiting period we impose. Exchange Bitcoin to Ethereum here and there is no account step either, so your Ethereum leaves for your wallet as fast as network conditions allow.
Before you send
- Set a refund address. It is where funds go back to automatically if the swap cannot complete. Without one a refund is still possible, but you have to contact support with your swap link and a return address first — see refund handling.
What we can and can't see
This swap needs no account, no email and no identity document, because there is no mechanism here to collect them. What is stored is the amount, the destination address and the refund address — the minimum needed to execute and, if necessary, reverse the exchange — and it is purged once the swap finalizes.
Private mode routes the exchange so that no single party sees both ends of it, at the cost of slightly more spread and one extra settlement hop. The full architecture, and what it deliberately does not promise, is on the privacy page.
How to exchange BTC for ETH
- 01Pick the pair and amount
Set how much BTC you want to exchange. The widget quotes live across our partners and shows the best ETH receive amount.
- 02Give two addresses
Your ETH destination address, and a BTC refund address in case the swap cannot complete. No account, no email, no identity check.
- 03Send the deposit
Transfer the BTC from your own wallet to the address shown. Nothing is held on your behalf — it is forwarded on arrival.
- 04Receive your coins
Once the deposit confirms, the exchange executes and the ETH is sent to your address. Follow it the whole way on the tracking page.
BTC to ETH — frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to swap BTC for ETH?
No. There is no registration, no email and no identity check anywhere in the flow. You provide a destination address and a refund address, send the deposit from your own wallet, and the funds are forwarded to you.
How much ETH should I keep back for gas?
Enough that the balance can actually be used. Every action on Ethereum — a transfer, a token approval, a contract call — costs gas paid in ETH from the address that signs, and costs rise with network demand. A payout sized to exactly what you plan to deploy leaves you holding an asset you cannot move.
Is BTC to ETH a well-quoted pair?
It is the deepest route we handle. More of our partners exchange Ethereum against Bitcoin than any other combination, so several bids usually compete and the winning one tends to sit very close to the next. That holds at larger sizes too, where thinner pairs start to show a visible spread.
What is the minimum BTC amount?
It moves with network conditions, so the widget shows the live minimum for this pair before you confirm rather than quoting a fixed figure. Minimums exist so on-chain costs stay a small fraction of the swap instead of swallowing it. There is no maximum.
What happens if the swap fails?
It is refunded to the return address you set before confirming — that address is the whole mechanism, which is why it is asked for up front. Deposits below the minimum, deposits that arrive after the quote window closes, and routes that stall are all handled the same way.
How long does a BTC to ETH swap take?
Mostly the time the Bitcoin network takes to confirm your deposit. The exchange runs automatically once the deposit has the confirmations the partner requires, and the ETH payout follows within minutes of that. The time depends on network conditions and on the amount. Larger deposits wait for more confirmations, and Bitcoin produces a block roughly every ~10 min. The tracking page shows the live confirmation count.
