Swap Bitcoin for Ethereum

Move Bitcoin to Ethereum mainnet without signup or KYC. You send BTC from your wallet and ETH is paid to an Ethereum mainnet address you control β€” the quote is shown first, and most routes settle a few minutes after Bitcoin confirms.

    How the swap works

    1. Enter the BTC amount and paste your Ethereum mainnet receive address.

    2. Open the order to see the live quote and the BTC deposit address.

    3. Send BTC to that deposit. After confirmations, ETH is paid to your wallet.

    Check these before you send

    • A single Bitcoin confirmation is usually enough for us to start the ETH payout.
    • BTC inclusion speed tracks mempool load and the fee you attach β€” a congested mempool means a longer wait.
    • SegWit BTC deposit addresses keep fees lower and inclusion faster. If your wallet only sends legacy formats, contact support before you broadcast.
    • ETH not in the wallet yet? Wait a few minutes and refresh. If the order already lists a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.

    Bitcoin β€” the base layer of crypto

    Since 2009 Bitcoin has been the reference asset β€” deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the usual starting point for cross-chain routes.

    BTC deposit checklist

    • Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
    • Leave enough for a network fee β€” low fees mean slower confirmation.
    • Broadcast only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the deposit shown on your order.

    How long does a BTC deposit take?

    Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.

    • Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
    • Explorers show queue position β€” compare against pending transaction volume.
    • Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.

    Why traders move BTC to other chains

    Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition β€” many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.

    Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.

    You receive

    Ethereum β€” smart-contract base layer

    ETH is the gas and settlement asset of Ethereum mainnet β€” staking, DeFi, and most contract activity run here.

    ETH payout not showing?

    Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.

    Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.

    ETH payout timing

    Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms β€” Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.

    ETH must land on the listed chain

    • Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet β€” not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
    • Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
    • Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.

    Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts

    The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.

    • Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms β€” best when mempools are quiet.
    • Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window β€” useful when ETH price is moving quickly.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does BTC to ETH require KYC or an account?

    No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Bitcoin to Ethereum.

    How long until ETH arrives?

    Many orders finish in a few minutes. Bitcoin mainnet deposit confirmations and Ethereum mainnet payout time set the wait.

    Do you hold BTC or ETH for me?

    No. You send BTC from a wallet you control and ETH is paid to the address you provide β€” PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.

    What if I send BTC on the wrong chain?

    Use Bitcoin mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β€” read the swap safety notes first.
