How to Swap Bitcoin to Ethereum
Swapping BTC for ETH is straightforward, but the details matter. Bitcoin and Ethereum use different networks, different address formats, and different confirmation rules. A good swap starts with the right ETH receiving address and a clear view of the quoted amount before you send any BTC. Check whether the quote is fixed or floating, because BTC price movement and network delays can change the final ETH amount on a floating quote. Never rush the address check. A mistake on the Ethereum side can be permanent.

How to Swap BITCOIN to ETHEREUM
- Choose BTC as the asset you are sending and ETH as the asset you want to receive.
- Enter your Ethereum receiving address. Use a self-custody wallet or an exchange deposit address that accepts ETH on the Ethereum network.
- Review the quote, expected ETH amount, rate type, limits, and any network-related deductions.
- Send the exact requested amount of BTC to the provided Bitcoin address.
- Wait for Bitcoin network confirmations and for the ETH transfer to be broadcast.
- Check your Ethereum wallet after the transaction is completed.
Safety Tips
- Use an Ethereum address for ETH, not an address for a token on another network unless the destination explicitly supports that network.
- Compare the final ETH amount you will receive, rather than judging offers by the headline exchange rate alone.
- Fixed quotes can be useful during sharp BTC or ETH price moves, though you should still read the quote conditions.
- Send a small test amount first if you are using a new wallet, a new service, or an unfamiliar exchange address.
- Verify the BTC deposit address and your ETH receiving address on the device you are using, not from a copied message or screenshot.

Other Pairs You Can Swap
Can I send BTC directly to an Ethereum address?
No. Bitcoin and Ethereum addresses belong to separate networks. You send BTC to a Bitcoin deposit address, then receive ETH at an Ethereum address after the swap is processed.
Should I choose a fixed or floating BTC to ETH rate?
A fixed rate gives you more certainty about the quoted ETH amount if you send within the stated conditions. A floating rate can change with market movement and timing, especially if Bitcoin confirmations take longer than expected.
Which Ethereum network should I use to receive ETH?
Use the Ethereum mainnet unless your receiving wallet or exchange clearly specifies another supported network. Do not assume ETH sent on one network can be recovered from an address intended for another.
