How the BTC → ETC order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 0.00129399 BTC.
- Enter a ETC address in Ethereum Classic and a way to reach you.
- Send BTC in Bitcoin for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Ethereum Classic leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending BTC
- The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 0.00129399 BTC.
- 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: BTC → ETC
What rate does BTC to ETC run at?
As of Sep 18, 2026 01:58 it is 1 BTC = 10,305 ETC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $76,360.03.
What amounts does BTC → ETC accept?
From 0.00129399 to 131 BTC per order. The lower limit is roughly $98.63.
Where does the 0.00129399 BTC floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.00129399 BTC 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 BTC, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does BTC to ETC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Bitcoin confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Bitcoin 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 BTC to ETC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 1.03%. Low 9,111.82, high 10,810.59, middle 10,262.74 ETC per BTC.
Can I go back, ETC to BTC?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETC = 0.0000972822 BTC. The link sits right under the calculator.
