Most BTC to APE swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin, then the APE is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 BTC in APE? 1 BTC is worth about 521,923.11 APE at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 3 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the APE network fee. The rate floats with the market until your BTC deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange BTC to APE? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Ethereum address that should receive the APE, send BTC from your own wallet, and the APE goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin to ApeCoin? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the APE amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Bitcoin network fee for your deposit is paid in BTC by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive APE? To receive ApeCoin from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your APE address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the APE address? Use an Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending APE to an address on another network can lose the coins. ### Can I track my BTC to APE 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 BTC payment on mempool.space (https://mempool.space) and your incoming APE on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io). ### Is it safe to exchange BTC for APE on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BTC deposit is converted and the APE is sent straight to the Ethereum address you enter, so check that address twice — Ethereum transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain BTC to APE swap work? Bitcoin lives on Bitcoin and ApeCoin on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BTC on Bitcoin and pays native APE on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my BTC to APE exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the BTC is refunded to the Bitcoin 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. ## Related - [Reverse: APE to BTC](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/ape-btc/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/ape-btc.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
