About exchanging Bitcoin to Ethereum
BTC to ETH moves value from Bitcoin into the Ethereum ecosystem. People make this swap to pay for gas, to use decentralized applications, to buy tokens that live on Ethereum, or to rebalance between two widely used networks. Unlike wrapped Bitcoin, the result is native ETH in your own wallet, with no custodian holding BTC on your behalf.
The two chains work at different speeds. Bitcoin blocks arrive about every 10 minutes and your deposit usually needs 1 to 2 confirmations, while Ethereum payouts confirm within seconds to a minute. Most exchanges take 5 to 30 minutes, and nearly all of the wait is on the Bitcoin side. If your deposit stays unconfirmed for longer, the order waits until the Bitcoin network confirms it.
You send BTC to a one-time deposit address and ETH is paid directly to your Ethereum wallet. No account or sign-up is required. The service fee of up to 0.4% is already included in the rate with no additional fees; the payout network fee is part of the estimate, and your Bitcoin miner fee is extra.
Tips for this pair
- The ETH payout is on Ethereum mainnet. If you plan to use a layer 2 network, you will need to bridge afterward, which costs gas.
- Receiving ETH needs no gas, so a new, empty Ethereum address is fine. The ETH you receive will then cover gas for your next transactions.
- Set a reasonable Bitcoin miner fee. During busy periods, a low-fee transaction can take much longer than 10 minutes to confirm.
- Ethereum addresses start with 0x, the same format used on several other networks. Confirm your wallet is set to Ethereum mainnet before copying the address.
- Fixed rate locks the ETH amount while the countdown runs if you send the exact BTC amount shown. For an extra routing step between deposit and payout, see Private Swap.

Frequently Asked Questions: BTC to ETH
Common questions about converting Bitcoin to Ethereum.
Enter the amount of BTC in the calculator, choose floating or fixed rate, and paste your Ethereum wallet address. Then send BTC to the one-time deposit address on the network shown. Once the deposit is confirmed, ETH is sent to your wallet automatically.
No account or email address is required to exchange BTC for ETH. Identity verification (KYC) is not required for most swaps, but our liquidity partners may request it, for example if a deposit is flagged by automated risk screening or for residents of certain jurisdictions.
The number of confirmations is set by our liquidity partner and depends on the network and amount. For Bitcoin it is usually 1–2 blocks (about 10–20 minutes), for Litecoin a few minutes. The exchange starts automatically once the deposit is confirmed.
Most BTC to ETH exchanges complete in 5–30 minutes. Timing depends mainly on how fast the Bitcoin network confirms your deposit and on current network congestion.
Our service fee of up to 0.4% is already included in the exchange rate, and there are no additional fees. The network fee for sending your ETH payout is also included in the estimated amount. The only extra cost is the network fee your own wallet charges when you send BTC.
If a fixed rate is available for this pair, select "Fixed Rate" in the calculator. The amount of ETH you receive is then locked while the countdown on your order page runs, provided you send exactly the quoted amount of BTC.
With a floating rate, a different amount within the limits is usually exchanged at the current rate. With a fixed rate, it may be exchanged at the current rate or refunded. For a refund or any problem, contact support via live chat or tickets@breezeswap-io.p.tawk.email with your Exchange ID.
