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

BTC to ETH is one of the most common crypto conversions: Bitcoin is the main store of value, while Ethereum gives access to DeFi, NFTs and thousands of tokens. GhostSwap converts BTC to ETH without an account, and the ETH lands directly in your own wallet.

Most of the time in a BTC to ETH swap is the Bitcoin confirmation (about 10-minute blocks); the ETH payout then confirms within a minute or two.

### Tips

- Ethereum addresses start with 0x. The payout is native ETH on Ethereum mainnet.
- Bitcoin fees depend on network load; sending when the network is quiet saves on fees.
- Need a token on Ethereum instead? Choose it directly (for example USDT ERC20) as the coin you receive.

### Can I convert BTC to ETH without KYC?

Yes. GhostSwap needs no account or ID. Enter your Ethereum address and your BTC sender address, then send the deposit.

### How long does BTC to ETH take?

Usually under an hour, mostly waiting for the Bitcoin confirmation.

## FAQ

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

Most BTC to ETH swaps finish in 20–60 minutes. Your BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin; after that the ETH is sent to your wallet and Ethereum confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much ETH do I get for 1 BTC?

At 2 Oct 2026, 03:50 UTC, 1 BTC swapped to about 31.0068 ETH on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the ETH 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 BTC to ETH?

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

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

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ETH 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 ETH?

To receive Ethereum from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rainbow Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ETH address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ETH address?

Use a Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my BTC to ETH 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 ETH on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BTC deposit is converted and the ETH 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 ETH swap work?

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

### What happens if my BTC to ETH 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.
