Select SOL as your send coin, paste your Bitcoin wallet address, and hit swap. CoinVast locks you a rate (a flat 2% spread, fixed the moment you create the swap), gives you a deposit address, and the moment your Solana hits 1 confirmation (we're talking seconds, not minutes), the swap kicks off. Minimum send is 0.05 SOL. Minimum BTC received is 0.0002. Your bitcoin arrives after 2 BTC confirmations, which takes roughly 20 minutes because Bitcoin moves at its own pace and always has. Total time from clicking swap to BTC in your wallet: about 20 to 30 minutes, and the only slow part is Bitcoin doing its thing. No account. No KYC. No one asks to see your passport or your reasoning.

So you've been riding Solana. Fast transactions, tiny fees, a DeFi ecosystem that never sleeps, and enough memecoin action to keep your dopamine receptors permanently busy. It's been a good run. But somewhere between your fourth DEX trade of the day and checking your portfolio at 2am, a thought pops up: maybe I should put some of this into bitcoin.
That's not quitting Solana. That's called taking profits, and it's the thing that separates people who make money in crypto from people who watch their portfolios go up, refuse to sell, and then watch them go back down. Bitcoin is the asset you park value in when you want it to stay parked. It doesn't have 400 millisecond finality or sub penny fees. What it has is a 15 year track record, institutional money pouring in through ETFs, a hard cap of 21 million coins, and the kind of brand recognition where even your dentist has an opinion about it. Solana is where you go to do stuff. Bitcoin is where you go to keep stuff.
The traditional way to swap SOL to BTC would involve signing up for a centralized exchange, handing over your ID, waiting for approval, depositing your Solana, placing a trade, withdrawing your Bitcoin, and paying fees at every stage. By the time your BTC actually lands in your wallet, you've spent more time on identity verification than on the actual transaction. It's like needing a building permit to rearrange your own furniture.
CoinVast cuts all of that out. No account. No KYC. No compliance team reviewing your face at a weird angle. You send SOL from your own wallet, CoinVast confirms it in one block (which on Solana takes roughly 400 milliseconds, so blink and you might miss it), and then your BTC gets broadcast. Both sides of the swap run on CoinVast's infrastructure, you keep your keys, and nobody builds a profile on you. Twenty minutes later you've got bitcoin and zero new accounts to worry about.
Confirmation counts and minimums above are the live values our exchange engine uses, not marketing copy. Block times are network averages and can vary.
Choose how much SOL 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 SOL refund address in case the swap cannot complete.
You get a deposit address on the Solana network. Send your SOL to it from any wallet, in one payment of at least 0.05 SOL. No account, no email, nothing to install.
Your deposit needs 1 confirmation on Solana, about 1 minute. We screen it before the exchange starts, then send BTC to your address and post the transaction hash on your order page.
Taking profits is the number one reason, and let's not pretend it isn't. Solana had an absurd run. People who bought SOL early are sitting on gains that look like phone numbers. The smart ones are rotating a piece into Bitcoin because they understand something important: unrealized gains are unrealized. They don't count until they're in an asset that doesn't drop 30% because a validator went offline or because the latest memecoin launchpad turned out to be held together with hope and duct tape. Bitcoin isn't immune to volatility, but it does have the longest track record and the deepest liquidity in crypto. Moving SOL profits into BTC is like moving your poker winnings into a savings account before you get tempted to go all in again.
Store of value is the big philosophical difference. Solana was built for speed, throughput, and cheap execution. It's infrastructure for applications. Bitcoin was built to be digital gold: scarce, decentralized, and nearly impossible to tamper with. Both are valuable, but they're valuable in completely different ways. Solana is the highway. Bitcoin is the vault at the end of the highway. You need both, but your long term savings probably shouldn't be sitting in the thing built for going fast.
Portfolio consolidation is practical and boring and important. If you've been active on Solana, you probably accumulated SOL through trading, farming, airdrops, or the twelve memecoins that each did a 10x before going to zero. At some point your portfolio looks like a yard sale and you want to simplify. Converting SOL into BTC reduces your holdings to one asset with the deepest liquidity, the longest track record, and the most off ramps on the planet. One thing to track. One set of keys to secure. One asset that every exchange, every payment processor, and every institution on earth already recognizes.
Privacy enters the picture when you consider how you're making these swaps. Centralized exchanges log everything. Your trades, your timing, your IP address, your verified identity. Chain analysis firms buy that data. Tax authorities request it. If you prefer your financial life to stay your financial life, a non custodial swap through CoinVast means you're a wallet address and nothing more. Your SOL goes in, your BTC comes out, and nobody files a report about the swap you made at 11pm on a Tuesday.
Bitcoin's expanding utility is another draw. BTC isn't just "hold and pray" anymore. Wrapped Bitcoin sits in DeFi protocols across multiple chains. Lightning Network makes instant BTC payments possible. Lending platforms accept BTC as collateral. Institutions custody it, governments discuss it, and ETFs track it. The Bitcoin ecosystem in 2026 looks nothing like 2020. Converting some SOL to BTC isn't just storing value; it's accessing a network effect that keeps compounding. Solana is the chain where you earn. Bitcoin is the chain where you keep what you earned.
And honestly, some people swap SOL to BTC because they're tired. Solana's ecosystem is exciting, but exciting is exhausting. New token launches every hour, rug pulls to dodge, airdrops to claim, positions to manage. At some point you just want to sit in bitcoin and not think about crypto for a while. That's valid. Bitcoin is the retirement community of digital assets, and there's nothing wrong with checking in early.
Solana needs just 1 confirmation, which takes about 400 milliseconds. Yes, milliseconds. Your SOL side is done before you finish reading this sentence. After that, CoinVast sends your BTC, and Bitcoin needs 2 confirmations to land in your wallet, which usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. So the total time is roughly 20 to 30 minutes, and the entire wait is Bitcoin's network doing its slow, reliable thing. Solana already did its job before you blinked.
CoinVast charges one flat 2% spread, locked the moment you create the swap. That's it. No hidden platform fees, no withdrawal charges, no mysterious "processing" line items that appear after you've already sent your coins. You'll also pay the standard Bitcoin network fee for the outgoing transaction, which varies with congestion but usually runs a few dollars. The rate shown before you start is the rate you get. Math you can verify before committing a single SOL.
No and no. CoinVast is non custodial. You don't create an account, don't verify an email, and definitely don't hold your passport next to your face like a low budget mugshot. You pick the SOL to BTC pair, paste your BTC receiving address, send your Solana, and wait. CoinVast runs automated pre screening on incoming funds for compliance, but that checks the coins, not your identity. You remain a wallet address throughout the entire process.
The minimum send is 0.05 SOL, and the minimum BTC you can receive is 0.0002 BTC. There's no strict maximum. If you're making a test swap to see how it feels before committing a larger amount, 0.05 SOL is basically pocket lint. Send it, watch it work, then go bigger when you're satisfied.
Fixed. CoinVast quotes one rate, a flat 2% spread over the mid-market price, and locks it the moment you create the swap. The rate you see is the rate you get, full stop. There's no floating option and no second tier to weigh up. On a chain as fast as Solana the point is almost academic, since your SOL confirms in under a second, but the guarantee holds regardless: the number on the quote is the number you receive.
If you send under 0.05 SOL, the swap can't process. A refund is usually possible, but network fees for returning dust amounts can take a bite out of what's returned. Always check the minimum on the swap page before sending. Crypto transactions don't have an undo button, no matter how many times you refresh the page.
Absolutely. The reverse pair (BTC to SOL) works identically. Same non custodial flow, same no KYC policy. Minimum BTC send is 0.0002, and once Bitcoin confirms (2 confirmations), your SOL arrives almost instantly because Solana treats waiting as a personal insult. If the market shifts and you want to rotate back, just flip the pair.
Any wallet where you hold the private keys. Phantom, Solflare, Backpack for Solana. Electrum, Sparrow, BlueWallet for Bitcoin. Hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor work great on both sides. Mobile wallets, browser extensions, multi sig setups, all fine. CoinVast doesn't care what wallet you use as long as you control the keys. Just don't use an exchange deposit address as your BTC receiving wallet. If that exchange freezes your account, your freshly swapped bitcoin gets frozen with it, and nobody wants that conversation.
The opposite, actually. CoinVast screens your incoming SOL before the swap starts. If there's a compliance concern with the funds, you find out upfront, before you've committed anything. Once the swap begins, it completes. Your money never gets stuck halfway through because some compliance system woke up late. Most centralized services do it backwards: they accept your deposit, then freeze it. CoinVast tells you first. That difference matters a lot when it's your money in the middle.
Setting it up takes under a minute. The blockchain handles the rest.
