Swap ETH to BTC - Exchange Ethereum for Bitcoin
Swapping ETH to BTC means exchanging Ethereum for Bitcoin in a single swap. On FixedSwaps you send Ethereum to a deposit address and receive Bitcoin in your own wallet, usually within 5 to 30 minutes, at a rate fixed when you create the order. You can see the live rate on the ETH to BTC pair page at https://www.fixedswaps.com/exchange/eth-to-btc
How an ETH to BTC swap works
You send Ethereum to a unique deposit address created for your order. Once the Ethereum network confirms your deposit, the exchange happens at the locked rate and Bitcoin is sent to the wallet address you entered. There is no order book and no buyer to wait for.
The live ETH to BTC rate is shown on the pair page at https://www.fixedswaps.com/exchange/eth-to-btc before you swap, so you can check the rate and the minimum first.
Why swap Ethereum for Bitcoin
People swap ETH for BTC to move into the largest and most liquid cryptocurrency, often to lock in gains from Ethereum or to hold Bitcoin for the long term. Bitcoin is accepted almost everywhere in crypto.
Others swap a portion of their Ethereum into Bitcoin to balance their holdings between the two largest coins. Either way, the swap is a single step: ETH in, BTC out.
Fixed rate vs floating rate for ETH to BTC
With a fixed rate, the amount of BTC you receive is locked in when you create the order. Even if the market moves while your Ethereum deposit confirms, your BTC amount does not change.
With a floating rate, the amount follows the live market until the deposit confirms, so it can move slightly either way. Most people choose a fixed rate for ETH to BTC so the Bitcoin amount is certain.
How long does ETH to BTC take
Most swaps complete in 5 to 30 minutes. Ethereum confirms quickly, so the slower part is usually the Bitcoin delivery, because Bitcoin confirmations take longer than Ethereum confirmations.
If the Bitcoin network is busy, the swap can sit at the slower end of that range. You can follow every step with your Order ID, and if a swap takes longer than 2 hours, contact support with your Order ID.
What you need for an ETH to BTC swap
You need some Ethereum to send and a Bitcoin wallet address to receive BTC. The wallet can be a phone wallet, a hardware wallet, or any wallet you control. You never share private keys or seed phrases.
Make sure the Bitcoin address is correct before you send: BTC sent to a wrong address may not be recoverable. The swap page shows the rate and the minimum before you confirm.
