Enter its Destination Tag in the Destination Tag field, or the XRP cannot be credited to you. - A brand-new XRP address must receive at least the network reserve to be activated; normal swap amounts cover this. ### Do I need a Destination Tag? Only if the receiving address belongs to an exchange or service that asks for one. Personal wallets do not need it. ### Can I swap BTC to XRP without an account? Yes. Pick BTC and XRP, paste your XRP address (plus tag if needed) and send the Bitcoin. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap BTC to XRP on GhostSwap? Most BTC to XRP swaps finish in 20–60 minutes. Your BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin; after that the XRP is sent to your wallet and XRP Ledger confirms it in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much XRP do I get for 1 BTC? At 2 Oct 2026, 11:18 UTC, 1 BTC swapped to about 55,403.69 XRP on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the XRP network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send. ### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin to XRP? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the XRP 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 XRP? To receive XRP from your swap, we recommend using Xaman (formerly Xumm), Trust Wallet, or a Ledger hardware wallet. A new XRP address only becomes active once it holds the small network reserve (1 XRP since December 2024). Make sure your wallet supports the XRP Ledger network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XRP address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the XRP address? Use a XRP Ledger address: it starts with r. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Do I need a Destination Tag to receive XRP? Only if the XRP goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Destination Tag; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal XRP wallet does not need one. ### Can I track my BTC to XRP 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 XRP on XRPScan (https://xrpscan.com). ### Is it safe to exchange BTC for XRP on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BTC deposit is converted and the XRP is sent straight to the XRP Ledger address you enter, so check that address twice — XRP Ledger transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain BTC to XRP swap work? Bitcoin lives on Bitcoin and XRP on XRP Ledger, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BTC on Bitcoin and pays native XRP on XRP Ledger, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my BTC to XRP 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: XRP to BTC](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/xrp-btc/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/xrp-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)
