BTC → ETH: From Bitcoin to Ethereum, No Wrappers

Q: What rate does BTC to ETH run at?

As of Sep 17, 2026 12:08 it is 1 BTC = 31.5095 ETH. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $76,946.44.

Q: What amounts does BTC → ETH accept?

From 0.00129399 to 131 BTC per order. The lower limit is roughly $98.92.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: How long does BTC to ETH 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.

Q: Will native ETH arrive, or a wrapper?

Native. ETH is the network's own coin in Ethereum, and its fees are paid in it too.

Q: Do I need ETH to receive ETH?

No. Fees in Ethereum are paid in ETH, so no separate coin is needed.

Q: Which network will ETH arrive in?

Ethereum leaves in its own Ethereum network — a plain ETH address is all you need.

Q: Where is receiving ETH cheaper?

The cheapest is usually ETH Arbitrum, ETH BEP20, ETH Optimism. Still, the network is chosen by what the recipient supports, not by the fee.

Q: 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.

How the BTC → ETH order runs

Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 0.00129399 BTC.
Enter a ETH address in Ethereum 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 leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.

Swap BTC for ETH

Check this before sending BTC

The address network is Ethereum. 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.
Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to Ethereum.
Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

What lands at your address	native ETH in Ethereum	Usually a wrapper like WBTC, which then has to be swapped
Wallet and signatures	Not needed: the coins go to the address from the order	Needed: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions
A coin for fees in Ethereum	Not needed to receive	Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on
Timing	After confirmations in Bitcoin; the order page tracks it	Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks
Who holds the funds meanwhile	RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check	The bridge contract or its validators
