Swap BTC to USDC
This page converts Bitcoin (BTC) into USD Coin (USDC). You’ll send BTC from your wallet, and you’ll receive USDC on the network you select. USDC exists on multiple chains, so the network you choose for receiving must match the wallet or exchange you’ll use.
What you need before you start
- A USDC receiving address on the right network — USDC exists on multiple chains; the “network” you pick in the swap must match where you want to receive USDC. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
- BTC to send — send native Bitcoin from a wallet you control (legacy, SegWit, or Taproot all work for sending). :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
- Network fee coin (if required) — on ERC-20 / BEP-20, later USDC transfers use gas paid in the chain’s native coin.
USDC networks & address formats (practical guide)
Modern wallets often use SegWit bc1… or Taproot bc1p… addresses.
Legacy formats (1…) still exist, but many users prefer modern formats for efficiency. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
On Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC uses a 0x… address. On BNB Chain (BEP-20), it also uses 0x….
The visual format can be identical, so your wallet/exchange network selection is what defines the chain. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
Swap BTC → USDC in 3 steps
- 1) Select BTC → USDC and choose your USDC network
Pick the chain where you want to receive USDC (the same chain your wallet/exchange uses for USDC deposits). - 2) Paste your USDC receiving address
Copy it from your wallet/exchange deposit page for the chosen network. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13} - 3) Send BTC to the deposit address shown in your order
After you confirm, the order displays a one-time Bitcoin deposit address. Send the exact amount requested. After the deposit confirms and the conversion completes, USDC is sent to your address automatically.
Fees & timing (what to expect on each side)
BTC deposit timing depends on Bitcoin’s block confirmations, while USDC payout depends on the selected chain’s fee mechanics. Bitcoin confirmations average ~10 minutes per block, with natural variance across time windows. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
- BTC deposit timing: depends on Bitcoin network confirmations.
- Swap fee: included in your quote before confirmation.
- USDC payout fee: paid on the USDC chain (gas / native coin mechanics).
