How the BTC to USDC 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 USDC 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 USDC amount is shown. The number you approve is the number that executes; there is no spread behind it.

Step 03

Confirm once

Step 04

Receive USDC at your address

The USDC settles on-chain to the address you chose, under Follows the host chain (Ethereum ~12, Base ~a few, Polygon ~a few). 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 USDC arrives on Stablecoin. 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 USDC arrives at the address you picked, settles Follows the host chain (Ethereum ~12, Base ~a few, Polygon ~a few), and never touches a platform wallet at any point in the route.
