## Bitcoin to USDT (ERC20): what to know before you swap

BTC to USDT locks in a dollar value: you swap volatile Bitcoin into Tether, the most-used stablecoin. This pair pays USDT on the Ethereum network (ERC20) to an address you control, so you can take profit without depositing on a centralized exchange or creating an account.

Most of the waiting time is the Bitcoin confirmation (about 10-minute blocks); the USDT payout then arrives within a minute or two on Ethereum.

### Tips

- Ethereum addresses start with 0x. The payout is USDT ERC20, not ETH.
- Plan to keep a little ETH in the receiving wallet so you can move the USDT later.
- Want lower transfer fees later? Choose USDT TRC20 (Tron) as the coin you receive instead.

### Can I convert BTC to USDT without an account?

Yes. Pick BTC and USDT, paste your Ethereum address and send the Bitcoin deposit. No sign-up or ID.

### Is the rate fixed?

The exchange box shows a live quote; the exact amount is set when your deposit is confirmed.

## FAQ

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

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

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

At 2 Oct 2026, 05:38 UTC, 1 BTC swapped to about 84,823.27 USDT on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the USDT 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 USDT?

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

### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin to Tether (ERC20)?

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

To receive Tether (ERC20) from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any ERC-20 compatible wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your USDT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the USDT 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. Sending USDT to an address on another network can lose the coins.

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

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

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

### Why swap BTC to USDT?

Converting Bitcoin to Tether (ERC20) lets you exit a volatile crypto position into a dollar-pegged stablecoin without using a centralized exchange or going through KYC. This is useful for locking in profits, protecting against market downturns, or preparing funds for future trades — all while maintaining your privacy.

### What happens if my BTC to USDT 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.
