One ETH buys 304.5617 ETC right now; the other way round, 1 ETC is 0.00328341 ETH. Market over 24 hours: ETH against ETC plus 0.48%. The week added minus 0.48%.

The weekly corridor ran from 295.777 to 311.1902 ETC, a spread of 5.21%. A single order takes 0.012 to 4,100 ETH. In dollars that is roughly $29.29.

By market cap Ethereum sits 2th ($298.1 B) and Ethereum Classic 69th ($1.27 B). Daily moves of ETH and ETC over 90 days line up at 0.7 (they travel together).

Who takes the ETH → 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 ETH and ETC over 90 days line up at 0.7 (they travel together) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
  • A road both waysThe ETC → ETH direction is open too, so going back into ETH takes the same route.

How the ETH → ETC order runs

  1. Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 0.012 ETH.
  2. Enter a ETC address in Ethereum Classic and a way to reach you.
  3. Send ETH in Ethereum 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 ETH for ETC

Check this before sending ETH

  • The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 0.012 ETH.
  • 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: ETH → ETC

What rate does ETH to ETC run at?
As of Oct 16, 2026 06:09 it is 1 ETH = 304.5617 ETC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $2,430.40.
What amounts does ETH → ETC accept?
From 0.012 to 4,100 ETH per order. The lower limit is roughly $29.29.
Where does the 0.012 ETH floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.012 ETH 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 ETH, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ETH to ETC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Ethereum confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Ethereum closes in about 12 sec.
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 ETH to ETC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 4.87%. Low 280.2861, high 333.3636, middle 304.6451 ETC per ETH.
Can I go back, ETC to ETH?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETC = 0.00329986 ETH. The link sits right under the calculator.
