Fixed rate or floating rate for BTC → RUNE?
- Fixed rate
- The RUNE 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 RUNE than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.
Why swap BTC to RUNE on SwapRocket
- Aggregated rate comparison. SwapRocket compares quotes across multiple providers so your RUNE 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 RUNE. The THORChain is sent straight to the wallet address you provide.
- No account. No SwapRocket account is required to swap BTC for RUNE. 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/RUNE rate at quote time, or use the market rate at execution.
