Most BTC to EGLD swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin, then the EGLD is sent to your wallet, and MultiversX confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 BTC in EGLD? 1 BTC is worth about 21,110.86 EGLD at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 11 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the EGLD 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 EGLD? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the MultiversX address that should receive the EGLD, send BTC from your own wallet, and the EGLD goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin to Elrond? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the EGLD 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 EGLD? To receive Elrond from your swap, we recommend using xPortal. Make sure your wallet supports the MultiversX network before starting the exchange. Double-check your EGLD address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the EGLD address? Use a MultiversX address: it starts with erd1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my BTC to EGLD 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 EGLD on MultiversX Explorer (https://explorer.multiversx.com). ### Is it safe to exchange BTC for EGLD on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BTC deposit is converted and the EGLD is sent straight to the MultiversX address you enter, so check that address twice, MultiversX transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain BTC to EGLD swap work? Bitcoin lives on Bitcoin and Elrond on MultiversX, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BTC on Bitcoin and pays native EGLD on MultiversX, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my BTC to EGLD 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: EGLD to BTC](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/egld-btc/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/egld-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)
