ETH to BTC is the oldest trade in crypto that is not just buying in. One asset is a programmable platform with a thousand things happening on it. The other is the original, the one with the longest track record and the simplest pitch. Moving between them is how a lot of people manage their conviction.
The annoying part was never the trade, it was the toll booth. Doing this swap on a big exchange means an account, identity checks, deposit confirmations, trading screens, and withdrawal queues. All of that to turn one asset you already own into another asset you will also own.
Here it is one payment. You paste a Bitcoin address, send ETH, and the card has already shown you exactly what lands on the other side, spread and network fee included. Ethereum confirms fast, so the wait on this pair is short. Most of these swaps finish inside half an hour, many much faster.
No account, no email, no custody beyond the minutes the swap is in flight. The order page is your receipt. Bookmark it, watch the hashes appear, move on with your day.
ETH → BTC, by the numbers
- You send
- Ethereum (ETH) on the Ethereum network.
- You receive
- Bitcoin (BTC) on the Bitcoin network, at an address you control.
- Deposit confirmations
- 12 on Ethereum. At roughly 12-second blocks, that is about 3 minutes of waiting before the exchange starts.
- Minimum swap
- 0.005 ETH. Below that, network fees would eat too much of the swap to be worth it.
- Spread
- 0.5%, printed on the quote next to the payout network fee. There is no deposit fee.
- Typical total time
- About 5 to 25 minutes from sending your ETH to BTC arriving at your address.
Confirmation counts and minimums above are the live values our exchange engine uses, not marketing copy. Block times are network averages and can vary.
Three steps. One of them is just waiting.
- 01
Set the amount, paste your BTC address
Choose how much ETH you are sending. The card quotes your BTC payout with the spread and network fee already counted in. Paste the Bitcoin address the payout should land at, plus an optional ETH refund address in case the swap cannot complete.
- 02
Send one ETH payment
You get a deposit address on the Ethereum network. Send your ETH to it from any wallet, in one payment of at least 0.005 ETH. No account, no email, nothing to install.

Watch the order page
Your deposit needs 12 confirmations on Ethereum, about 3 minutes. We screen it before the exchange starts, then send BTC to your address and post the transaction hash on your order page.
Why people move ETH into BTC
Consolidation. A portfolio that grew through DeFi seasons and airdrops tends to sprawl. At some point people simplify, and the asset they simplify into is usually Bitcoin. It has the longest history, the widest acceptance, and no smart contract risk. Turning scattered ETH into consolidated BTC is the classic cleanup trade.
The ratio trade. ETH/BTC is one of the most watched charts in crypto. When the ratio runs hot, some holders rotate strength into Bitcoin and wait. When it sinks, they rotate back. We are not going to tell you which side of that trade to be on. We just make either direction take one payment instead of an exchange account.
Spending and settling. Plenty of services, OTC desks, and individuals still price things in BTC. If your funds live on Ethereum and the invoice says Bitcoin, this is the corridor. The payout lands at any Bitcoin address you control, bech32 or legacy.
Cold storage logic. Hardware wallet setups are often built around Bitcoin first. People who want their long-term stack on the simplest possible chain convert and send straight to cold storage. The payout address you paste can be your hardware wallet, and probably should be.
We launched CoinVast in 2026 with screening that runs before the exchange starts. Your deposit either proceeds at the quoted terms or returns to your refund address. No mid-swap freezes, no surprise document requests, and a completed swap is final.
ETH to BTC, asked and answered
How long does an ETH to BTC swap take?
Usually 5 to 25 minutes end to end. Your Ethereum deposit needs 12 confirmations, which is about 3 minutes at 12-second blocks. The exchange takes seconds. The Bitcoin payout then needs to be mined into a block, which averages 10 minutes. So the slow side of this pair is the payout chain, not the deposit.
Which Bitcoin address type should I use?
Any address you control works: bech32 starting with bc1 or legacy starting with 1 or 3. Bech32 gets you slightly cheaper future spends, so it is the sensible default in 2026. What matters most is that the keys are yours. Sending a payout to an exchange deposit address works, but then you have just put your coins back behind someone's KYC desk, which rather defeats the trip.
Why does my ETH need 12 confirmations?
Reorg protection. Twelve blocks on Ethereum is roughly two and a half minutes and is the industry-standard depth at which a deposit is considered settled. It is the same waiting you would do at any exchange, except here you can watch it tick by on the order page instead of refreshing a balance.
Fixed or floating rate for this pair?
The ETH deposit confirms in about 3 minutes, so there is not much time for the market to wander between quote and fill. That makes floating, with its 0.5% spread, the sensible default here. Fixed at 1.0% buys certainty for the few minutes in between, which matters more on slow deposit chains than on this one.
Do I need an account or ID to swap ETH to BTC?
No. No sign-up, no email, no KYC under the screening threshold. Paste a Bitcoin address, send one Ethereum payment, bookmark the order page. Screening happens before the exchange begins: pass and it proceeds, fail and the ETH returns to your refund address minus the network fee.
What is the minimum ETH to BTC swap?
0.005 ETH. Below that, fees eat a silly share of the swap. There is no upper limit on the card, though unusually large deposits can get a human review before the exchange starts, never after. First time here? Do a small one and judge us by the receipts.
Where to next
ETH in. BTC out. Nothing to sign up for in between.
