BTC to PEPE moves value from Bitcoin straight into that ERC-20 token, without buying ETH first or opening an exchange account. The PEPE is paid to your own 0x address. Expect most of the wait before the PEPE is sent, while your bitcoin deposit collects its confirmations; Bitcoin blocks average about 10 minutes. The PEPE payout then confirms on Ethereum within a few minutes. The receive field will show a very large number: PEPE has a huge supply, so even a small amount of BTC converts into many tokens. ### Tips - Paste an Ethereum address (0x plus 40 hexadecimal characters) from MetaMask, Rabby or a hardware wallet. A Bitcoin address cannot hold PEPE. - Enter a Bitcoin address you control as the refund address, and send the BTC from that wallet rather than from an exchange. - PEPE also circulates as bridged copies on other chains. This payout is the original ERC-20 on Ethereum, so view it with your wallet set to Ethereum. ### Can I buy PEPE with Bitcoin without KYC? Yes. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID. Enter your 0x address, check the floating rate and send the BTC. ### Why would I need ETH if I paid in bitcoin? You do not need ETH to receive the PEPE. You need some ETH later to send or sell it, because PEPE is an ERC-20 token and Ethereum gas is paid in ETH. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap BTC to PEPE on GhostSwap? Most BTC to PEPE swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin, then the PEPE 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 PEPE? At 8 Oct 2026, 06:34 UTC, 1 BTC swapped to about 20,329,069,002.71 PEPE on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.00037 BTC.

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the PEPE 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 PEPE? To receive Pepe 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 PEPE address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the PEPE address?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BTC deposit is converted and the PEPE 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 PEPE swap work? Bitcoin lives on Bitcoin and Pepe on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BTC on Bitcoin and pays native PEPE on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my BTC to PEPE 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: PEPE to BTC](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/pepe-btc/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/pepe-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)
