About this pair

BTC to BCH moves Bitcoin into Bitcoin Cash in one trade. U.CASH compares live partner offers and shows the best BCH receive amount before you commit. Send Bitcoin to the deposit address, and BCH arrives at a Bitcoin Cash address (bitcoincash:… or q…), with no account and no extension required.

Before you start

Two things and the pair is ready. A wallet holding your BTC, and the BCH address you want the output delivered to, raw string or web3 name where your wallet resolves one. The preview shows the whole trade before anything is signed: what leaves, what arrives, the fee, and the network costs. Keys never leave your side at any point in the flow.

How the BTC to BCH swap works

Step 01

Enter your BTC amount

Open the pair with both sides preselected and type the amount of Bitcoin you are converting. The quote for BCH updates with it, all-in, before anything is committed.

Step 02

Compare the live offers

The instant-exchange network returns competing offers for the pair and the best net BCH amount is shown. The number you approve is the number that executes; there is no spread behind it.

Step 03

Confirm once

Approve the quote and send your BTC to the displayed address. One confirmation on the way in is all the flow asks; nothing is custodial anywhere in the path.

Step 04

Receive BCH at your address

The BCH settles on-chain to the address you chose, under 1 confirmation (fast), 6 (standard). From confirmation it is an ordinary balance: spend it, hold it, or route it on.

This pair crosses networks: the BTC leaves on Bitcoin (UTXO) and the BCH arrives on Bitcoin (UTXO). The instant-exchange network handles both legs as one quoted trade, so the crossing is priced into the offer you approve rather than added after the fact.

Fees and settlement

The platform side of this pair is a flat 0.50%, quoted all-in with the offer before you commit: no spread, no routing cut behind the number. The network side is the gas each chain charges to move, shown per leg in the preview. Settlement is on-chain to the address you choose, 1 confirmation (fast), 6 (standard), and from that point the BCH answers to your keys alone.

BTC to BCH: FAQ

How does a BTC to BCH swap work?

Enter your BTC amount and your BCH address, then confirm. U.CASH finds the partner with the best live offer, gives you a BTC deposit address, and BCH is sent to your address once the deposit confirms.

Do I need a wallet extension to swap BTC for BCH?

No. The instant rail only needs the two addresses: a Bitcoin address (bc1… or legacy 1…/3…) for the deposit and refunds, and a Bitcoin Cash address (bitcoincash:… or q…) to receive the BCH.

How long does a BTC to BCH exchange take?

Bitcoin confirms in ~10 minute blocks, so the trade is usually waiting on the payout leg: most instant exchanges complete within ten to thirty minutes, tracked live on the status screen.

How long does a BTC to BCH swap take?

At the chains' pace. The exchange leg commits after the incoming transfer confirms and the BCH settles 1 confirmation (fast), 6 (standard); the preview states the expectation with the quote, and the status you watch is the same one the settlement acts on.

Is the BTC to BCH swap non-custodial?

Yes. The only signatures are yours, the route is atomic, and the BCH arrives at your own address: nothing is held, pooled, or rehypothecated along the way.
