How to swap BTC to USDC, step by step
Step 1
Pick the BTC → USDC pair
Select BTC as the asset you're sending and USDC as the asset you want to receive. Confirm the network on each side — USDC on the wrong network can mean lost funds.
Step 2
Get a live aggregated quote
SwapRocket polls every connected provider and shows the best BTC/USDC output for your amount, including the network fee and the exact USDC you'll receive.
Step 3
Paste your USDC wallet address
Enter the wallet that should receive your USDC. Double-check the first and last 6 characters — it must be a valid USD Coin (USDC) address.
Step 4
Choose fixed or floating rate
For a stablecoin payout, a floating rate is usually cheapest. Use a fixed rate if you want the USDC amount locked before you deposit.
Step 5
Send your BTC deposit
Send the exact BTC amount to the one-time deposit address shown. BTC typically confirms within 10–30 minutes.
Step 6
Receive your USDC
Once confirmed, the swap executes automatically and USDC is pushed directly to your wallet — no withdrawal step.

Fees, rates, and staying safe
A BTC→USDC swap carries two costs: the Bitcoin network fee and the spread the provider builds into the quote. Aggregated routing shows the total USDC you'll get before you commit, so judge the net payout rather than the advertised rate. A fixed rate locks in the price before you deposit; a floating rate settles at market price once your deposit is confirmed. Always double-check the destination network and the first and last six characters of your USDC address before sending.
