## ETH to Bitcoin Cash: getting the payout address right

ETH to BCH takes Ether off Ethereum, where every transfer and contract call pays gas, and turns it into Bitcoin Cash, a proof-of-work coin built for low-fee everyday payments. It suits ETH holders who need a Bitcoin Cash balance, for example to pay someone who only takes BCH. The BCH goes to the address you enter, and no account is involved.

Ethereum confirms the deposit in about 2–5 minutes. The BCH payout then waits for Bitcoin Cash blocks, which arrive about every 10 minutes, so your wallet may show it as unconfirmed for a while. Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet: ETH on Arbitrum, Base or OP Mainnet is listed as a separate coin in the exchange box.

### Tips

- Create the receive address in a Bitcoin Cash wallet such as Electron Cash, Cashonize or Paytaca. A regular CashAddr address starts with bitcoincash:q, and many wallets hide the prefix and show just q.
- Send the ETH from your own wallet, leave a little ETH behind for gas, and enter that 0x address as the refund address.
- Your BCH wallet lists the payout as soon as it is broadcast. Count it as settled once the first Bitcoin Cash block confirms it, about 10 minutes later on average.

### Can I swap ETH to BCH without KYC?

Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your Bitcoin Cash address, check the floating rate and send the ETH from your own Ethereum wallet.

### Can MetaMask receive the Bitcoin Cash?

No. Bitcoin Cash runs on its own chain with its own address format, so a 0x address will not work. Generate a receive address in a Bitcoin Cash wallet and paste that.

## FAQ

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

Most ETH to BCH swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the ETH deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the BCH is sent to your wallet, and Bitcoin Cash confirms the payout in about 10–20 minutes.

### How much is 1 ETH in BCH?

At 4 Oct 2026, 15:17 UTC, 1 ETH swapped to about 8.3588 BCH on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.012 ETH. The Ethereum network fee for sending the ETH is paid separately, in ETH. The rate floats with the market until your ETH deposit confirms.

### Can I send ETH straight to my BCH address?

No. ETH moves on Ethereum and BCH on Bitcoin Cash, so ETH can only be sent to an Ethereum address. To swap, send the ETH to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the BCH is paid to the Bitcoin Cash address you enter, with no bridge or wrapped token.

### What wallet and address do I need to receive BCH?

Use a Bitcoin Cash address from a wallet you control, such as Electron Cash or Cashonize. The address starts with bitcoincash:q, q or 1. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the BCH is sent straight to the address you enter.

### What happens if my ETH to BCH exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the ETH is refunded to the Ethereum address you entered as the sender address.
