About this pair

Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two deepest markets in crypto, and the BTC to ETH pair is the classic way to move value between them. U.CASH compares live offers across instant-exchange partners and shows you the best ETH receive amount before you commit. You send BTC to the deposit address, and the ETH lands in the wallet you specify, with no account and no extension required.

Before you start

Nothing to configure beyond the essentials. A wallet that holds BTC, plus the destination address for the ETH output. What you approve on screen is everything that will happen: amounts, fees, and the network costs per leg, all shown before the first signature. No account, no deposit, and no custody anywhere in the path.

How the BTC to ETH 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 ETH 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 ETH 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 ETH at your address

The ETH settles on-chain to the address you chose, under 12 confirmations (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 ETH arrives on EVM. 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

Two costs, both on the screen before you sign: the flat 0.50% platform fee on the swap, and the networks' own gas for the movement. What you approve is what executes. The ETH arrives at the address you picked, settles 12 confirmations (standard), and never touches a platform wallet at any point in the route.

BTC to ETH: FAQ

How does a BTC to ETH swap work?
Pick the pair, enter your BTC amount and your Ethereum address, and confirm. U.CASH finds the best partner offer, gives you a BTC deposit address, and the partner forwards ETH to your address after one network confirmation.
Do I need a wallet extension to swap BTC for ETH?
No. The instant rail only needs the addresses: a Bitcoin address for refunds and an Ethereum address to receive the ETH. Browser wallets like MetaMask still work if you want them, but nothing is required.
How long does a BTC to ETH exchange take?
Most instant exchanges complete in ten to thirty minutes, driven by Bitcoin confirmation times. The status screen tracks the trade live from deposit to payout.
How long does a BTC to ETH swap take?
At the chains' pace. The exchange leg commits after the incoming transfer confirms and the ETH settles 12 confirmations (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 ETH swap non-custodial?
Yes, end to end. Keys stay in your wallet, the trade executes against the quoted route, and the output lands on-chain at your address with no custodian in between.
