Swap Bitcoin (BTC) to Ethereum (ETH)
Move BTC into ETH to fund an Ethereum address or prepare for transaction fees. Bitcoin and Ethereum are separate networks: this route exchanges the asset rather than transferring BTC to an Ethereum address. SwapRocket compares connected provider quotes and sends the output to your chosen address, with zero added fees and no account required to start. Swaps complete in under 10 minutes on average.

Fixed rate or floating rate for BTC → ETH?
- Fixed rate
- The ETH amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your BTC deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote even if the price moves. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.
- Floating rate
- The swap executes at the market rate when your BTC deposit lands. Usually pays out slightly more ETH than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.
Why swap BTC to ETH on SwapRocket
- Aggregated rate comparison. SwapRocket compares quotes across multiple providers so your ETH payout reflects the strongest quote SwapRocket found at that moment — with zero added fees, so you can compare elsewhere before confirming.
- Non-custodial. SwapRocket never holds your BTC or ETH. The Ethereum is sent straight to the wallet address you provide.
- No account. No SwapRocket account is required to swap BTC for ETH. The selected provider may request identity verification or hold a transaction for review under its own compliance policy, regardless of amount.
- Fixed or floating rate. Lock the BTC/ETH rate at quote time, or use the market rate at execution.
Why swap BTC → ETH
- Fund an Ethereum wallet from an existing Bitcoin balance.
- Obtain ETH for gas before using an Ethereum application.
- Adjust BTC and ETH balances without keeping an exchange account.
Network fees explained
- Sending BTC
- Your Bitcoin wallet estimates the miner fee when you send the deposit. Keep enough BTC for both the ordered amount and that fee. A low fee can delay confirmation; use the order deadline and wallet estimate rather than a fixed fee figure.
- Receiving ETH
- The provider broadcasts the payout on the destination network; applicable provider spreads and network costs are reflected in the quoted amount. You do not need an existing ETH balance just to receive it. Future Ethereum transactions require ETH for gas. Confirm whether the order delivers on Ethereum mainnet or another available network.
Best wallets for ETH
- MetaMask. EVM wallet; confirm the Ethereum network selected in the order.
- Rabby. EVM wallet with transaction previews; verify the receiving network.
Verify the destination address and network before confirming — crypto transfers are irreversible.

Enter the amount of Bitcoin you want to exchange, paste your Ethereum wallet address, and confirm the deposit. SwapRocket aggregates quotes from multiple providers and settles ETH directly to your wallet — no account required.
How long does a BTC to ETH swap take?
Most BTC/ETH swaps average under 10 minutes, depending on Bitcoin network confirmation times.
What's the fee to swap BTC to ETH?
SwapRocket aggregates quotes and routes to the best executable rate. The displayed quote is what you receive — there is no hidden spread. Network fees for Bitcoin apply on top.
Do I need an account to exchange BTC for ETH?
No. SwapRocket is non-custodial — provide a Ethereum address and swap directly from your wallet.
What's the minimum BTC to ETH swap?
Minimums are set by the underlying liquidity provider and shown live before you confirm a quote.
Which networks should I select for BTC to ETH?
Match the source network to the funds in your sending wallet and the destination network to what the receiving wallet supports. Only use networks offered in the current quote. Do not deposit another coin or network into the address shown in the order.
Can I use my entire BTC balance?
Your Bitcoin wallet estimates the miner fee when you send the deposit. Keep enough BTC for both the ordered amount and that fee. A low fee can delay confirmation; use the order deadline and wallet estimate rather than a fixed fee figure.
How do fixed and floating BTC to ETH quotes differ?
A fixed quote is subject to the provider's deposit deadline, exact amount and other conditions. A floating quote can change before settlement. Compare the receive amount and the terms shown for your order; neither option guarantees a better result in every case.
Do I need identity documents for this swap?
SwapRocket does not require an account or identity documents to start a crypto-to-crypto swap. Individual providers may still apply AML, sanctions, fraud-prevention or identity checks depending on the provider, transaction and jurisdiction. Review those conditions before sending.
