Who takes the BCH → ETC route

  • Fuel for Ethereum ClassicWithout Ethereum Classic nothing moves in Ethereum Classic — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.
  • Different basketsDaily moves of BCH and ETC over 90 days line up at 0.61 (they travel alike) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
  • A road both waysThe ETC → BCH direction is open too, so going back into BCH takes the same route.

How the BCH → ETC order runs

  1. Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 0.05 BCH.
  2. Enter a ETC address in Ethereum Classic and a way to reach you.
  3. Send BCH in Bitcoin Cash for exactly the amount stated in the order.
  4. Once the network confirms your transfer, Ethereum Classic leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.

Swap BCH for ETC

Check this before sending BCH

  • The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 0.05 BCH.
  • Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
  • Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

Common questions: BCH → ETC

What rate does BCH to ETC run at?
As of Nov 1, 2026 12:09 it is 1 BCH = 39.8369 ETC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $284.83.
What amounts does BCH → ETC accept?
From 0.05 to 35,100 BCH per order. The lower limit is roughly $14.26.
Where does the 0.05 BCH floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.05 BCH the swap stops making sense for either side.
What else is taken on top of the rate?
The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending BCH, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does BCH to ETC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Bitcoin Cash confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Bitcoin Cash closes in about 10 min.
Which network will ETC arrive in?
Ethereum Classic leaves in its own Ethereum Classic network — a plain ETC address is all you need.
What if the rate moves while I am paying?
The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the BCH to ETC rate do this month?
The month came in at plus 16.73%. Low 33.0164, high 40.1799, middle 35.5306 ETC per BCH.
Can I go back, ETC to BCH?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETC = 0.0251755 BCH. The link sits right under the calculator.
