CoinVast lets you convert USDT to BTC without creating an account or handing over your identity. Pick your USDT network (TRC-20, ERC-20, or TON), paste your Bitcoin address, send your Tether, and receive BTC directly in your wallet. The minimum swap is just 10 USDT, and you can start receiving bitcoin from as little as 0.0002 BTC. The rate carries a flat 2% spread, locked the moment you create the swap and shown upfront before you commit a single coin.

So you've got a pile of USDT sitting in your wallet and you're thinking, "maybe it's time to turn some of this into actual bitcoin." Good instinct. You're not alone. In 2026, the USDT to BTC pair is one of the most traded swaps on the planet, and for good reason. Stablecoins are fantastic for parking value when the market is throwing a tantrum, but they're not exactly where you want to keep your life savings forever. At some point, you look at your Tether balance and realize you're basically holding a very fancy IOU from a company in the British Virgin Islands. Bitcoin, whatever its faults, is nobody's liability.
The problem is that most people's first instinct is to fire up Coinbase or Binance, and that's when the fun begins. Upload your passport. Take a selfie holding a piece of paper with today's date on it. Wait three business days. Get rejected because your utility bill is from two months ago instead of one. Try again. It's enough to make you want to just keep the USDT and forget about it. But you shouldn't have to choose between owning bitcoin and keeping your sanity intact.
That's where non-custodial instant swaps come in. No account. No identity verification. No compliance officer in Estonia squinting at your driver's license photo. You send USDT, you get BTC. The whole thing takes about as long as making a cup of coffee, assuming you're not one of those people who grinds their own beans and does a pour-over with a thermometer.
CoinVast handles USDT on three networks: TRC-20 (20 confirmations), ERC-20 (12 confirmations), and TON (1 confirmation). The minimum you can swap is 10 USDT, and the minimum BTC you can receive is 0.0002. Whether you're converting a hundred bucks or a few thousand, the process is identical: pick your network, paste your BTC address, send the Tether, wait for confirmations, and your bitcoin shows up. That's it. Nobody asks who you are or why you want bitcoin. Because frankly, that's your business.
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 USDT 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 USDT refund address in case the swap cannot complete.
You get a deposit address on the Tron (TRC-20) network. Send your USDT to it from any wallet, in one payment of at least 10 USDT. No account, no email, nothing to install.
Your deposit needs 20 confirmations on Tron (TRC-20), 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.
Let's start with the elephant in the room. USDT is useful, but it's not "hold this for five years" useful. It's "park your money here while you figure out what to do next" useful. Tether is backed by a mix of treasury bills and whatever else Tether Limited decides to put in the jar this quarter. Bitcoin is backed by math and the collective stubbornness of thousands of nodes running on five continents. These are fundamentally different things. One is a tool for convenience. The other is a bet on a new kind of money. Most people who accumulate USDT eventually realize they want to convert at least some of it into something that doesn't depend on a single company staying solvent and honest.
Then there's the issuer risk, which is the thing nobody likes to talk about at dinner parties. Tether has survived more "USDT is about to collapse" headlines than any asset has a right to. But the fact that those headlines keep appearing tells you something. Regulatory scrutiny on stablecoins has intensified dramatically since 2024. The EU's MiCA framework now requires stablecoin issuers to maintain transparent, audited reserves and hold e-money licenses. If you're sitting on a large USDT balance and Tether ever has a genuine regulatory problem, you don't want to be the last one scrambling for the exit. Converting a portion to BTC is basically portfolio insurance. It's not panic. It's just common sense.
Privacy is another big motivator, and it's the one that gets the most side-eye from people who don't understand it. Here's the deal. When you hold USDT on a centralized exchange, that exchange knows exactly how much you have, when you bought it, and what you do with it. They share that data with chain analysis companies, tax authorities, and sometimes with marketing partners. When you swap USDT to BTC through a non-custodial service like CoinVast, there's no account linking your identity to the transaction. You're a wallet address, not a person. For people living in countries with unstable governments, capital controls, or authoritarian surveillance, this isn't a nice-to-have. It's a lifeline.
Traders have their own reasons. If you've been riding a profitable altcoin run and cashed out to USDT, the smart move might be to roll some of those gains into BTC before the next cycle. Bitcoin has historically outperformed everything over multi-year periods, and converting stablecoin profits into BTC is one of the simplest ways to "lock in" gains into an asset with a fixed supply. You're essentially saying, "I trust the next four years of bitcoin more than I trust the next four years of the dollar." Given the trajectory of U.S. fiscal policy, that's not exactly a wild take.
And honestly, some people just like the idea of holding real bitcoin. USDT is a number on a screen that says "you have this many dollars' worth of stuff." Bitcoin is a bearer asset on a decentralized network that no government, company, or angry ex can freeze. There's something psychologically satisfying about watching your USDT balance turn into sats. It feels like you actually own something. Because you do.
It depends on which USDT network you're sending from. TON is the fastest at 1 confirmation, which usually means a minute or two. TRC-20 needs 20 confirmations, and with Tron producing a block every 3 seconds or so, that part clears in a couple of minutes. ERC-20 requires 12 confirmations, roughly 3 minutes once your transaction lands in a block. After your USDT confirmations clear, CoinVast processes the BTC side, and bitcoin's own network confirmation typically adds another 10 to 30 minutes. Total realistic time from start to bitcoin in your wallet: anywhere from 15 minutes to about 45 minutes. Go make that coffee.
CoinVast charges a single, all-in 2% spread, locked the moment you create the swap. That's it. No hidden platform fees, no withdrawal charges, no "processing" surcharges. The rate you see before you start the swap is the rate you get. You'll also pay the standard Bitcoin network fee for the outgoing transaction, which varies with network congestion but is typically a few dollars. Compared to centralized exchanges that charge trading fees, withdrawal fees, and sometimes spread on top of spread, this is refreshingly straightforward.
No and no. CoinVast is a non-custodial swap service. You don't create an account, you don't upload an ID, and you don't take a selfie holding a newspaper like some kind of proof-of-life hostage photo. You select the USDT to BTC pair, choose your USDT network, paste your Bitcoin receiving address, and send your Tether. The entire interaction is between your wallet and the swap. CoinVast does run pre-screening on incoming funds (more on that below), but that's not the same as KYC. They're checking the coins, not checking you.
This is actually one of the things that sets CoinVast apart. Most swap services will accept your USDT, start the swap, and then freeze everything if their compliance system flags something suspicious about the coins. You're stuck in limbo, emailing support, hoping someone in a different timezone responds. CoinVast screens your funds before the swap begins. If there's an issue with the incoming USDT (say it's been associated with a flagged address), they tell you upfront, before you've committed anything. Once the swap starts, it finishes. Your funds never get frozen mid-transaction. It's a small detail that matters a lot when it's your money on the line.
If you're holding USDT on Tron (TRC-20), use that. The network fees are low (usually pennies) and 20 confirmations go by pretty quickly. If your USDT is on Ethereum (ERC-20), that works too, but expect higher gas fees for the sending transaction on your end, especially during busy periods. If you've got USDT on TON, that's the fastest option with just 1 confirmation needed. The bottom line: use whatever network your USDT is already on. Moving USDT between networks just to use a different one usually costs more in fees than you'd save, and adds unnecessary steps.
The minimum USDT you can send is 10 USDT, and the minimum BTC you can receive is 0.0002 BTC (about $20 at current prices, give or take). There's no maximum listed, but extremely large swaps may take slightly longer to process due to liquidity matching. For most people doing normal conversions, anywhere from 10 USDT to several thousand USDT, the process is the same and takes the same amount of time.
As safe as the method you use. With CoinVast, the swap is non-custodial, meaning they never hold your funds in an account. Your USDT goes in, your BTC comes out, and the whole thing typically completes in under 30 minutes. The pre-screening model means your funds won't get frozen after you've sent them. The main risk with any non-custodial swap isn't the service itself but rather what you do afterward: make sure you're sending BTC to a wallet you control (not an exchange address you might lose access to), use a fresh receiving address for each swap, and double-check everything before hitting send. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, so a typo in your address is a permanent mistake.
Setting it up takes under a minute. The blockchain handles the rest.
