## SOL to BTC: fast Solana deposit, Bitcoin-paced payout

SOL to BTC moves funds from Solana, where most people keep coins in Phantom or Solflare for apps and trading, to native Bitcoin in a wallet of their own. There is no bridge and no wrapped token: you send SOL on Solana and receive real BTC on the Bitcoin network. It is paid to the Bitcoin address you enter, with no account.

Solana confirms the deposit in under a minute, so the BTC is usually sent within 5 to 15 minutes. After that the Bitcoin network sets the pace, and the payout waits for a block, about 10 minutes on average. Natively staked SOL cannot be sent until the stake account is deactivated and withdrawn. Deactivation usually completes at the end of the current epoch, which lasts about two days.

### Tips

- Paste a Bitcoin address starting with bc1, 3 or 1, for example from a hardware wallet or Sparrow. Phantom can also show a Bitcoin address; a Solana address is rejected.
- Make the deposit in native SOL from Phantom or Solflare and put that Solana address in the Sender Address field. SOL on BNB Smart Chain is listed as a separate coin.
- Not emptying the wallet? Leave a small SOL balance. Solana rejects transfers that would leave an account below its rent-exempt minimum.

### Do I need an account to sell SOL for Bitcoin?

No. Standard swaps work without registering, and no email or ID is requested. Paste your Bitcoin address, check the floating rate shown before you send and transfer the SOL; a refund, if needed, goes back to your Solana sender address.

### Can I send JitoSOL or another liquid staking token?

Not on this pair, which takes native SOL only. Liquid staking tokens such as JitoSOL or mSOL are separate tokens, so convert them back to SOL in your wallet first.

## FAQ

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

Most SOL to BTC swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your SOL deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana; 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 25 SOL?

At 2 Oct 2026, 14:11 UTC, 25 SOL swapped to about 0.034776 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 SOL to BTC?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bitcoin address that should receive the BTC, send SOL 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 Solana 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 Solana network fee for your deposit is paid in SOL 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 SOL 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 SOL payment on Solana Explorer (https://explorer.solana.com) and your incoming BTC on Mempool.space (https://mempool.space).

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

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

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the SOL is refunded to the Solana 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.
