How to Swap Bitcoin to Ethereum
BTC to ETH looks simple. You send coins on Bitcoin and wait for ETH on Ethereum, so a bad address or poor quote can cost you. Check the ETH amount, the BTC fee, and whether the quote is fixed or floating before you send. A floating quote can shift while Bitcoin confirms. Compare live quotes from more than one service at about the same time. If one deal looks far better than the rest, see it as a warning, not a bargain. For a large sum, test the route with a small BTC send first. Copy the ETH address and keep the BTC transaction ID until ETH arrives.

How to Swap BITCOIN to ETHEREUM
- 1. Choose BTC as the asset to send and ETH as the asset to receive.
- 2. Enter the amount of Bitcoin you want to swap and review the quoted ETH amount.
- 3. Add an Ethereum mainnet address that you control or have verified with the recipient.
- 4. Check whether the quote is fixed or floating, then confirm the details.
- 5. Send BTC to the Bitcoin deposit address shown for the swap, using the Bitcoin network.
- 6. Wait for Bitcoin confirmations, then check your Ethereum wallet for the ETH.
Safety Tips
- Compare several quotes within a few minutes. A large gap deserves scrutiny.
- Send BTC only to the Bitcoin deposit address. Never send it to your ETH receiving address.
- For a meaningful amount, make a small test swap first.
- Use a wallet address on Ethereum mainnet for native ETH, unless the destination clearly instructs otherwise.
- Keep the BTC transaction ID and screenshots of the quote until the swap is complete.

Other Pairs You Can Swap
Can I send Bitcoin directly to my Ethereum address?
No. A Bitcoin address and an Ethereum address use different networks. Send BTC only to the Bitcoin deposit address supplied for the swap. The ETH receiving address is where the converted ETH should be delivered.
Should I choose a fixed or floating BTC to ETH quote?
A fixed quote aims to lock the exchange rate for a limited time, usually if the BTC arrives promptly. A floating quote changes with the market while Bitcoin confirmations are pending. Fixed is often easier to budget for, but read the terms first.
Why can a Bitcoin to Ethereum swap take longer than expected?
Bitcoin transactions need network confirmations before the conversion can proceed. Congestion, a low BTC network fee, or a floating quote that waits for confirmation can all affect timing.
Which Ethereum network should receive the ETH?
For native ETH, use an Ethereum mainnet address. Do not assume an address on another EVM chain is suitable just because it starts with 0x. Check your wallet or destination instructions before confirming.
