## Bitcoin Cash to XRP: a 10-minute deposit, a payout in seconds

BCH to XRP moves Bitcoin Cash, a proof-of-work chain, into XRP on the XRP Ledger. It is useful when an exchange, payment app or person you are paying works with XRP rather than BCH. The XRP is paid to your own r address, with no account.

Bitcoin Cash blocks arrive about every 10 minutes, so the deposit is the longest part, usually 10 to 20 minutes. Once it is confirmed, the XRP Ledger settles the payout in a few seconds. Sending to a brand-new r address? The payout has to be larger than the ledger's base reserve to activate it, and that reserve then stays in the account.

### Tips

- Copy your XRP address (it starts with r) from Xaman or a Ledger. If it belongs to an exchange, also enter the exchange's destination tag in the Destination Tag field.
- Send BCH from your own wallet, such as Electron Cash or Cashonize, and give that address as the refund address. Do not send from a Bitcoin (BTC) wallet.
- The default fee in your BCH wallet is normally enough for the deposit to make the next block.

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

Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your XRP address, add a destination tag if it is an exchange account, and send the Bitcoin Cash.

### Why does my exchange need a destination tag?

Exchanges receive XRP for many customers at one r address and use the tag to tell deposits apart. Personal wallets like Xaman do not need one.

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

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

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

### What happens if my BCH to XRP 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.
