## Turning PayPal USD into Bitcoin you hold yourself

This pair turns PayPal USD (PYUSD) on Ethereum into native Bitcoin in your own wallet. It suits people who hold PYUSD from PayPal or Venmo and want BTC on a hardware wallet or in an app such as Sparrow, without opening an exchange account.

Ethereum confirms the PYUSD deposit within a few minutes. The longer part is on Bitcoin: the payout confirms in blocks that arrive about every 10 minutes. Plan for more time than on a swap between two fast chains.

### Tips

- Your BTC address will start with bc1, 3 or 1. A 0x address cannot receive Bitcoin.
- Gas for the PYUSD transfer is paid in ETH, so leave a little ETH next to the PYUSD.
- Enter the Ethereum address you send PYUSD from as the refund address, not a PayPal deposit address.

### Can I buy Bitcoin with PYUSD without an account?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no ID. Paste your Bitcoin address, add your Ethereum address for refunds and send the PYUSD.

### Can I send PYUSD on Solana to this pair?

No. This pair takes ERC-20 PYUSD on Ethereum. PYUSD on Solana is listed separately in the exchange box and has its own route to BTC.

## FAQ

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

Most PYUSD to BTC swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the PYUSD 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).

### How much is 1 PYUSD in BTC?

1 PYUSD is worth about 0.0000120646 BTC 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 BTC network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 31 PYUSD. The Ethereum network fee for sending the PYUSD is paid separately, in ETH. The rate floats with the market until your PYUSD deposit confirms.

### Can I send PYUSD straight to my BTC address?

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

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

Use a Bitcoin address from a wallet you control, such as Sparrow, Electrum or a hardware wallet. The address starts with bc1, 3 or 1. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the BTC is sent straight to the address you enter.

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

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