How the swap works
-
Type the BTC amount and paste your Tether payout address on TRC-20 on Tron.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast BTC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, USDT is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- A single network confirmation is typically enough to start the payout.
- How long BTC takes to confirm tracks mempool load and the fee on your send.
- SegWit deposit addresses keep fees lower. If your wallet cannot send to SegWit, contact support before you broadcast.
- If USDT has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows 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 (bc1β¦) 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.
Tether β USD-pegged stablecoin
USDT tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers β always pick the chain listed on the order (TRC-20, ERC-20, and others are not the same).
Receiving USDT on the correct chain
Your wallet must support the exact USDT network listed on the order.
If funds were sent on the wrong chain, recovery may not be possible β verify before you send.
When will USDT arrive?
Most TRC-20 payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms.
- Check the order page for a payout transaction hash before opening a support ticket.
- Refresh or resync your wallet if the balance has not updated after a few minutes.
- Tron confirmations are typically much faster than Bitcoin or Ethereum mainnet.
Why traders swap into USDT
USDT offers dollar-like stability without leaving crypto β useful between trades or during volatile markets.
TRC-20 USDT on Tron keeps transfer fees low, making it a common destination after swapping from BTC, ETH, or alt L1s.

Frequently asked questions
Does BTC to USDT require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Bitcoin to Tether.
How long until USDT arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Bitcoin mainnet deposit confirmations and TRC-20 on Tron payout time set the wait.
Do you hold BTC or USDT for me?
No. You send BTC from a wallet you control and USDT 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.
