## Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin: what to know before you swap

BCH to BTC swaps Bitcoin Cash into Bitcoin. The two chains share history but are separate networks with different address formats, so a swap is the safe way to move value from one to the other. No account is needed.

Both chains have roughly 10-minute blocks, so the swap usually completes within an hour.

### Tips

- Bitcoin addresses start with bc1, 3 or 1.
- Bitcoin Cash addresses start with bitcoincash:q or q (CashAddr). Never send BCH to a BTC address or the other way round.
- Send from your own BCH wallet and enter that address as the sender address.

### Can I swap BCH to BTC without KYC?

Yes. Paste your Bitcoin address and send the Bitcoin Cash. No account or ID.

### Can I use the same address for BCH and BTC?

No. Use a Bitcoin address for the payout; BCH addresses are a different format.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap BCH to BTC on GhostSwap?

Most BCH to BTC swaps finish in 20–60 minutes. Your BCH deposit needs about 10–20 minutes to confirm on Bitcoin Cash; after that the BTC is sent to your wallet and Bitcoin confirms it in 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much BTC do I get for 5 BCH?

At 2 Oct 2026, 06:53 UTC, 5 BCH swapped to about 0.018058 BTC on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the BTC network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange BCH to BTC?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bitcoin address that should receive the BTC, send BCH from your own wallet, and the BTC goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the BTC amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Bitcoin Cash network fee for your deposit is paid in BCH by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive BTC?

To receive Bitcoin from your swap, we recommend using Electrum, Sparrow Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. Make sure your wallet supports the Bitcoin network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BTC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the BTC address?

Use a Bitcoin address: it starts with bc1, 3 or 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my BCH to BTC swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your BCH payment on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash) and your incoming BTC on Mempool.space (https://mempool.space).

### Is it safe to exchange BCH for BTC on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BCH deposit is converted and the BTC is sent straight to the Bitcoin address you enter, so check that address twice — Bitcoin transfers cannot be reversed.

### How does a cross-chain BCH to BTC swap work?

Bitcoin Cash lives on Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin on Bitcoin, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BCH on Bitcoin Cash and pays native BTC on Bitcoin, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my BCH to BTC exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the BCH is refunded to the Bitcoin Cash address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
