Bitcoin to Ethereum moves value from BTC L1 to native ETH — not WBTC on Ethereum unless you choose a wrapped token in the widget. No KYC, no account. Send BTC, receive ETH at an 0x address you control.
Bitcoin is the slow leg (often ~10 minutes per confirmation). Ethereum inclusion is typically minutes. A Standard BTC→ETH swap often lands in 15–25 minutes when both mempools are calm. Congested Bitcoin can stretch that; the quote does not control miner queues.
Use a standard Ethereum address (0x…). Do not paste a Bitcoin address on the receive side. Gas for later DeFi use is paid in ETH — keep a little extra if you plan to swap again on Uniswap or deposit to a contract.
Service fee 0.5% Standard / 1% Private Swap, plus BTC and ETH network fees. Private Swap adds multi-hop unlinkability and usually 15–45 minutes; it is optional on this pair. Reverse: Ethereum to Bitcoin.
Want no intermediary at all? The THORChain route swaps BTC to ETH directly through decentralised liquidity pools: no KYC, no AML screening, nothing anyone can freeze, automatic on-chain refunds. 1% fee — select THORChain in the widget.
From your Bitcoin wallet
Send BTC from any wallet you control — Sparrow, Electrum, BlueWallet, Ledger or Trezor or another self-custody wallet. You never connect a wallet to Swap.bz: the widget gives you a one-time deposit address and you send BTC to it like a normal transfer. Network: Bitcoin (on-chain). Native BTC on the Bitcoin network only. Lightning invoices and wrapped bitcoin (WBTC, cbBTC, BTCB) are different assets.
Receiving Ethereum: address and network
Paste a ETH address from a wallet you control (MetaMask, Rabby, Trust Wallet, Ledger…). Payout network: Ethereum mainnet. Ethereum mainnet unless the widget shows another network. ETH on Arbitrum, Base or Optimism is a different network. Set the refund address at the same time: it must be a BTC address, on the network you send from.
FAQ
BTC to ETH
How do I swap BTC to ETH without KYC?
Open /swap/btc-to-eth, set the amount, paste your ETH address, send BTC to the deposit address. No registration.
What is the fee to exchange BTC to ETH?
0.5% Standard or 1% Private Swap, plus Bitcoin and Ethereum network fees. Ethereum gas on the payout is separate from the 0.5% service fee.
How long does a BTC to ETH swap take?
Often 15–25 minutes. Bitcoin confirmation is the wait; Ethereum is usually faster once BTC is seen as final enough to pay out.
Is swapping BTC to ETH on Swap.bz custodial?
No. One-time BTC deposit, ETH paid to your wallet. No hosted ETH balance.
Do I receive WBTC or ETH?
This pair pays native ETH. Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is a different token — only select it in the widget if you explicitly want WBTC. Pasting an ETH address and expecting WBTC (or the reverse) will not convert the asset type.
Can I receive on Arbitrum or Base?
Only if you change the receive asset/network in the widget to that chain. A plain ETH receive is Ethereum L1. An Arbitrum address format looks similar (0x) — picking the wrong network can lose funds. Match the network label in the quote.
Can I swap BTC to ETH without any AML screening?
Yes — pick THORChain in the widget. BTC goes to a THORChain vault with a memo, on-chain pools swap it and the network pays your ETH address. No company in the middle, no screening, nothing to freeze; failed swaps are refunded to the sending address by the protocol. 1% fee, send from a wallet you control.
Can I swap BTC to ETH from Sparrow?
Yes. Take the quote on Swap.bz, then send BTC from Sparrow (or any other Bitcoin wallet) to the deposit address shown. No wallet connection, no account. ETH arrives at the address you pasted.
Which network do I use to receive ETH?
Ethereum mainnet. Ethereum mainnet unless the widget shows another network. ETH on Arbitrum, Base or Optimism is a different network.
