Swap ETH to BTC: Ethereum to Bitcoin exchange
Rotate out of a smart-contract chain into the asset with the deepest liquidity and the simplest security model.
Swapping Ethereum (ETH) to Bitcoin (BTC)
The case for moving the other way is concentration risk. An ETH balance is exposed to Ethereum’s fee market, its roadmap and the health of the applications built on it; Bitcoin is exposed to none of those. For holders who came into Ethereum for a specific purpose and have finished with it, rotating back to Bitcoin is how the position stops depending on a platform’s execution.
Send from an address that still has enough ETH left to pay the gas for the transfer itself — the single most common way this deposit fails is a wallet swept to exactly zero, leaving nothing to broadcast with. Bitcoin arrives at whatever address you nominate; a fresh one keeps this swap out of the history of any address you have used elsewhere.
The common shape is a wind-down. Someone finishes with whatever brought them to Ethereum — a protocol, a token, a period of activity — and the residue needs to go somewhere that does not require ongoing attention. Bitcoin needs no gas balance, no network selection and no wallet configured for anything, which is precisely its appeal at the end of a project. An anonymous ETH to BTC swap takes no sign-up, and a Bitcoin to Ethereum exchange, no KYC, is the same widget flipped — the usual way to swap crypto for Ethereum anonymously.

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 BTC to your wallet are already inside it — see fees and how the comparison works.
Convert ETH to BTC: conversion rate and estimated amount
To convert ETH to BTC, enter the exchange amount in the widget. The BTC converter tool then shows the estimated amount you will receive. That figure is the ETH to BTC 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 ETH to BTC exchange and price calculator: change the amount and the ETH to BTC 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 Ethereum costs nothing beyond that figure except one thing: the Ethereum 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 BTC 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.
ETH to BTC minimum amount, network fee and exchange rate
- Minimum amount
- The live minimum amount of ETH 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 BTC to your wallet is already inside the receive amount. The one cost outside the quote is the Ethereum network fee your own wallet pays to broadcast the deposit.
- Exchange rate
- The ETH to BTC 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 ETH deposit has the network confirmations the partner requires, and Ethereum produces a block every ~12 sec. How many it waits for depends on the amount, so the tracking page shows the live count.
Instant ETH to BTC swaps
Every ETH to BTC swap is processed automatically as soon as the required blockchain confirmations land — no manual approval, no review queue, no waiting period we impose. Exchange Ethereum to Bitcoin here and there is no account step either, so your Bitcoin 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 ETH for BTC
- 01Pick the pair and amount
Set how much ETH you want to exchange. The widget quotes live across our partners and shows the best BTC receive amount.
- 02Give two addresses
Your BTC destination address, and a ETH refund address in case the swap cannot complete. No account, no email, no identity check.
- 03Send the deposit
Transfer the ETH 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 BTC is sent to your address. Follow it the whole way on the tracking page.
ETH to BTC — frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to swap ETH for BTC?
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.
Why is my deposit failing to send?
Almost always because the sending address has no ETH left for gas. An Ethereum transfer pays its fee in ETH from the same address, so a wallet emptied to exactly zero cannot broadcast anything, including the deposit. Leave enough for the transaction, and remember the amount changes with network demand.
Do I need to do anything special to receive Bitcoin?
No — and that is much of the appeal. There is no gas balance to maintain, no network to select and no wallet configuration to get right. Give us an address from a wallet you hold the keys to, check the first and last characters against what your wallet shows, and that is the whole requirement.
What is the minimum ETH 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 ETH to BTC swap take?
Mostly the time the Ethereum network takes to confirm your deposit. The exchange runs automatically once the deposit has the confirmations the partner requires, and the BTC payout follows within minutes of that. The time depends on network conditions and on the amount. Larger deposits wait for more confirmations, and Ethereum produces a block roughly every ~12 sec. The tracking page shows the live confirmation count.
