This pair swaps it into Tether on Ethereum mainnet (ERC20). It is for OP holders, such as delegates or past airdrop recipients, who want a dollar balance on layer 1 rather than on the rollup. Withdrawing through the official OP Mainnet bridge to Ethereum takes about seven days because of the challenge period. A swap instead pays USDT to your Ethereum address once the OP deposit is confirmed, which on OP Mainnet usually takes about a minute; after that the ERC20 payout needs a few minutes of Ethereum confirmations. ### Tips - With a regular wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby, your 0x address is the same on OP Mainnet and Ethereum, so you can receive the USDT at the address you send from; switch the wallet to Ethereum mainnet to see it. A smart-contract wallet such as Safe can have a different address on each network, so check before you paste it. - The OP transfer pays gas in ETH on OP Mainnet, so keep a little ETH there. Moving the USDT later needs ETH on Ethereum mainnet. - Send OP on OP Mainnet and put your sending address in the refund field. Want a stablecoin that stays on OP Mainnet? Pick USDC (Optimism) as the coin you receive. ### Can I swap OP to USDT without KYC? Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your Ethereum address, send the OP from OP Mainnet and the USDT is paid to you on Ethereum. ### Will the USDT arrive on OP Mainnet or on Ethereum? On Ethereum mainnet, as an ERC20 token, at the 0x address you enter. Your wallet shows it once Ethereum is the selected network. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap OP to USDT on GhostSwap? Most OP to USDT swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet, then the USDT is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. ### How much is 1 OP in USDT? 1 OP is worth about 0.121281 USDT at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the USDT network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 250 OP. The OP Mainnet network fee for sending the OP is paid separately, in ETH on OP Mainnet. The rate floats with the market until your OP deposit confirms. ### Can I send OP straight to my USDT address? No. Ethereum addresses look the same as OP Mainnet addresses, but OP sent to one stays on OP Mainnet: it lands at that address on OP Mainnet and never becomes USDT on Ethereum. To swap, send the OP to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the USDT is paid to the Ethereum address you enter. ### What wallet and address do I need to receive USDT? Use an Ethereum address from a wallet you control, such as MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. The address starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Sending USDT to an address on another network can lose the coins. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the USDT is sent straight to the address you enter. ### What happens if my OP to USDT exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the OP is refunded to the OP Mainnet address you entered as the sender address. ## Related - [Reverse: USDT to OP](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/usdt20-op/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/usdt20-op.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)
