## PEPE to Bitcoin: taking a meme-coin balance into BTC

PEPE is an ERC20 meme token on Ethereum with a supply in the hundreds of trillions, so balances are counted in millions of tokens. Holders swap PEPE to BTC to turn a volatile meme-coin balance into bitcoin in a wallet they control, without an exchange order book or an account.

Ethereum confirms the PEPE deposit in about 2 to 5 minutes, and gas for it is paid in ETH, not in PEPE. The bitcoin payout is then broadcast and gains confirmations block by block, about every 10 minutes, which is usually the longer part of the wait.

### Tips

- Bitcoin payouts go to an address starting with bc1, 3 or 1. Native SegWit (bc1q) and Taproot (bc1p) addresses both work.
- Check the number of zeros twice before you send. With PEPE, one missing digit changes the amount tenfold.
- Send the PEPE from a wallet you control that also holds some ETH for gas; that 0x address doubles as your refund address.

### Can I swap PEPE for BTC without KYC?

Yes. GhostSwap needs no account, email or ID for a standard swap. Paste your Bitcoin address, send the PEPE and the BTC goes to that address.

### Why can't I use my 0x address for the BTC?

Bitcoin is a separate blockchain with its own address format. An Ethereum address cannot hold BTC, so paste an address from a Bitcoin wallet such as Sparrow or a hardware wallet.

## FAQ

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

Most PEPE to BTC swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the PEPE deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the BTC is sent to your wallet, and Bitcoin confirms the payout in 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 PEPE in BTC?

1 PEPE is worth about 0.0000000001 BTC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 3 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the BTC network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 7,000,000 PEPE. The rate floats with the market until your PEPE deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### What are the fees for converting Pepe 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, your wallet needs a little ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending PEPE.

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

To receive Bitcoin from your swap, we recommend using Sparrow, Electrum or a hardware wallet. 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 PEPE 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 PEPE payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming BTC on mempool.space (https://mempool.space).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your PEPE 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 PEPE to BTC swap work?

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the PEPE 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.
