CoinVast lets you convert XRP to BTC without an account, without KYC, and without anyone asking where your XRP came from. Paste your Bitcoin address, send a minimum of 5 XRP (don't forget the destination tag), and your BTC arrives after just 1 network confirmation. That's usually a few seconds on the XRP Ledger. The rate is a flat 2% spread, locked the moment you create the swap and shown upfront before you send a single drop. Minimum BTC you can receive is 0.0002.

XRP is fast. Like, blink and it's confirmed fast. That's great when you're moving money around, but at some point you look at your XRP stack and think, "maybe I should put some of this into the one asset that's been around since 2009 and shows no signs of going anywhere." That asset, obviously, is Bitcoin.
The XRP to BTC swap is one of the most natural trades in crypto. XRP was built for speed and payments. Bitcoin was built to sit in your wallet and quietly appreciate while governments print money like it's a hobby. They serve fundamentally different purposes, and owning both is not a contradiction. It's just good sense. You keep XRP for the utility and the upside bet on cross-border payments. You keep Bitcoin because it's the closest thing to digital gold that humanity has ever agreed on.
But here's where things usually go sideways. You open up Binance or Coinbase to make the swap, and suddenly you're uploading selfies, scanning your passport, and waiting for some verification team in a timezone you've never heard of to approve your account. All you wanted was to turn some XRP into sats. You didn't sign up for a background check. Non-custodial swaps exist for exactly this reason. No account. No identity documents. No compliance officer deciding whether your face matches your driver's license photo from 2018 when you had that unfortunate haircut. You send XRP, you get BTC. The XRP Ledger confirms in seconds (1 confirmation is all CoinVast needs), and then you wait for the Bitcoin side to do its thing. The whole process takes roughly 15 to 30 minutes depending on Bitcoin network congestion. That's it. Your coins, your wallet, your business.
One thing to know about XRP that trips people up: you need to include a destination tag (also called a memo) when sending your XRP to CoinVast's deposit address. This is how the XRP Ledger routes payments. Skip the tag and your funds go into the void, and nobody can fish them out. CoinVast shows you the tag clearly on the swap page. Copy it. Paste it. Double check it. Then send.
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 XRP 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 XRP refund address in case the swap cannot complete.
You get a deposit address on the XRP Ledger network. Send your XRP to it from any wallet, in one payment of at least 5 XRP. No account, no email, nothing to install.
Your deposit needs 1 confirmation on XRP Ledger, 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 talk about the elephant wearing a hard hat. Bitcoin has the cleanest regulatory status of any crypto asset on the planet. In the United States, regulators have consistently treated BTC as a commodity. It's boring, legally speaking, and boring is exactly what you want from the asset you're planning to hold for years. XRP, on the other hand, spent the better part of four years in a cage match with the SEC. Ripple scored some meaningful victories in court, including the landmark ruling that programmatic sales of XRP on exchanges didn't constitute securities transactions. But the case dragged on, appeals happened, and the regulatory cloud never fully evaporated. If you're holding XRP and want to derisk a portion of your portfolio into something that doesn't have lawyers attached to it, Bitcoin is the obvious destination.
Then there's the store of value argument, which is simple enough that you can explain it at a barbecue. Bitcoin has a hard cap of 21 million coins. Nobody can change that. Not a CEO, not a board of directors, not a developer on a Zoom call. XRP has 100 billion tokens, a significant portion of which were historically controlled by Ripple Labs and released on a schedule. That's not inherently bad, but it's a different kind of asset. Bitcoin's scarcity is enforced by math. XRP's supply dynamics are governed by a company's decisions. Some people sleep better knowing their savings sit in the math-enforced bucket.
Liquidity is another practical reason. Bitcoin has the deepest order books, the widest exchange support, and the most institutional infrastructure of any crypto asset. If you ever need to move a large amount quickly or access derivatives, lending, or custody products, BTC is accepted everywhere. XRP has solid liquidity too, but it's a tier below Bitcoin in terms of sheer market depth. Converting some XRP to BTC gives you maximum flexibility.
Portfolio rebalancing drives a lot of swaps, especially after big moves. XRP has a tendency to rally explosively and then cool off. If you caught one of those pumps and your portfolio is now 80% XRP, rotating a chunk into Bitcoin is basic risk management. You're not abandoning XRP. You're just making sure one coin doesn't control your entire financial future. Diversification sounds boring until the day it saves you.
And honestly? Some people just trust Bitcoin more. Not in a tribal, "my coin is better than your coin" way. In a "this network has been running for 17 years without a single minute of downtime and its creator disappeared, which somehow made it more trustworthy" way. Bitcoin doesn't have a CEO who does interviews. It doesn't have a legal team. It doesn't have a roadmap with bullet points and quarterly goals. It just exists, block after block, doing the one thing it was designed to do. For people who have spent years watching XRP's price swing on Ripple headlines and lawsuit updates, there's something deeply appealing about an asset that doesn't need a PR department.
The XRP side is almost instant. The XRP Ledger confirms transactions in 3 to 5 seconds, and CoinVast only needs 1 confirmation. So your XRP is received and verified in under a minute. After that, CoinVast processes the swap and sends your Bitcoin. The BTC network confirmation is the part that takes time, usually 10 to 30 minutes depending on how congested the mempool is that day. Total realistic time from sending XRP to seeing BTC in your wallet: about 15 to 30 minutes. It's one of the fastest swap pairs CoinVast offers because XRP's confirmation time is basically zero in crypto terms.
Yes, absolutely, 100%, do not skip this. A destination tag (sometimes called a memo) is a number that the XRP Ledger uses to identify which payment belongs to which recipient when multiple users share the same XRP address. CoinVast uses a shared deposit address, so the destination tag is how they know your XRP is yours. When you create your swap on CoinVast, you'll see both a deposit address and a destination tag displayed clearly. Copy both. Paste both. If you send XRP without the destination tag, your funds may be unrecoverable. This isn't a CoinVast quirk. It's how the entire XRP network works. Every exchange and swap service that accepts XRP requires a destination tag.
CoinVast charges a single, all-in 2% spread, and that's the only margin we take. No hidden platform fees, no withdrawal surcharges, no surprise "processing" charges that appear after you've already committed. The rate is locked the moment you create the swap, so the rate you see on the swap page is the rate you get. You'll also pay the standard Bitcoin network fee for the outgoing transaction, which fluctuates with congestion but is typically a few dollars and is shown separately on the quote. Compared to centralized exchanges that stack trading fees, withdrawal fees, and spread on top of each other like a financial layer cake, this is blissfully simple.
Nope. CoinVast is non-custodial. No account, no email, no phone number, no passport photos, no selfie holding a handwritten note that says "I promise I'm me." You select XRP to BTC, paste your Bitcoin address, and send your XRP with the destination tag. That's the entire process. CoinVast does run automated pre-screening on incoming funds to check for compliance issues, but that's checking the coins, not checking you. If your funds clear pre-screening (which the vast majority do), the swap executes and completes.
The minimum XRP you can send is 5 XRP. The minimum BTC you can receive is 0.0002 BTC. There's no hard maximum listed, though very large swaps may take a bit longer to fill due to liquidity matching. For anything from 5 XRP to several thousand XRP, the process is identical and the speed is the same.
It's locked. CoinVast quotes one rate, a flat 2% spread, and it's fixed the moment you create the swap. You know exactly how much BTC you'll receive before you send a single drop of XRP, so it doesn't matter if Bitcoin's price moves while your transaction is in progress. There are no separate tiers and nothing to choose between: the rate you see is the rate you get.
This is the XRP equivalent of locking your keys in the car. If you send XRP to CoinVast's deposit address without the correct destination tag, the system cannot automatically match the payment to your swap. In some cases, recovery may be possible by contacting CoinVast support with your transaction hash and swap details, but there are no guarantees. The best move is to treat the destination tag like it's the most important number you'll copy today. Because it is.
As safe as the tools you use. CoinVast's non-custodial model means they never hold your funds in an account. XRP goes in, BTC comes out, and the swap typically completes in under 30 minutes. The pre-screening system means your funds won't get frozen after you've already sent them. On your end, the biggest safety measures are: make sure you're sending BTC to a wallet you actually control (not an exchange address you might lose access to), double check every address and tag before hitting send, and use a fresh BTC receiving address for each swap. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. There's no "undo" button, no matter how nicely you ask.
Yes. The reverse pair (BTC to XRP) works the same way. Same no-KYC, non-custodial flow. Minimum BTC send is 0.0002, and you'll need to provide both your XRP receiving address and a destination tag if your receiving wallet requires one (most do). The swap confirms in about 20 to 30 minutes depending on Bitcoin network speed.
Setting it up takes under a minute. The blockchain handles the rest.
