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

ETH to BTC converts Ethereum into Bitcoin, for example to move profits from DeFi or tokens into the most widely held crypto asset. The swap needs no account; the BTC is paid to the Bitcoin address you enter.

Ethereum deposits confirm within seconds, and the BTC payout then confirms on Bitcoin in roughly 10-minute blocks.

### Tips

- Bitcoin addresses start with bc1, 3 or 1.
- Keep a little extra ETH for the gas fee of your deposit.
- Receiving to a hardware wallet address is a good habit for long-term BTC.

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

Yes. Choose ETH and BTC, paste your Bitcoin address and send the ETH deposit.

### Can I send ETH from an exchange?

Sending from your own wallet is recommended, so you can enter the exact sender address.

## FAQ

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

Most ETH to BTC swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your ETH deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the BTC is sent to your wallet and Bitcoin confirms it in 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

At 1 Oct 2026, 16:55 UTC, 1 ETH swapped to about 0.031413 BTC on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the BTC 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 ETH to BTC?

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

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

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the BTC amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Ethereum network fee for your deposit is paid in ETH by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive BTC?

To receive Bitcoin from your swap, we recommend using Electrum, Sparrow Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. Make sure your wallet supports the Bitcoin network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BTC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the BTC address?

Use a Bitcoin address: it starts with bc1, 3 or 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ETH to BTC 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 ETH payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming BTC on Mempool.space (https://mempool.space).

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

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

### How does a cross-chain ETH to BTC swap work?

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the ETH is refunded to the Ethereum 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.
