BTC to ETH: swap Bitcoin straight to Ethereum cross-chain

UpSwap uses an all-in fixed quote: the ETH amount shown on the page is what actually lands in your wallet — all BTC miner fees, cross-chain routing fees and Ethereum network gas are already priced in, with no after-the-fact deductions. Quotes move with the market in real time and stay fixed within the validity window once locked; if a delayed BTC arrival expires the quote, the quote-matching engine re-quotes and asks for your confirmation — no forced fills.

Most of the time goes to Bitcoin network confirmations. We usually wait 1-2 Bitcoin blocks to confirm the deposit — about 10-20 minutes under normal conditions; once the BTC lands, matching plus the Ethereum mainnet payout generally takes 5-10 minutes. End to end, expect roughly 15-30 minutes. If the Bitcoin network is congested or you set the miner fee too low, confirmation stretches — that part is governed by the Bitcoin chain itself, and no solution can route around it.

Neither. UpSwap requires no account, no ID documents and no wallet signatures. You only provide an Ethereum address to receive ETH, then send BTC from any Bitcoin wallet to the deposit address we generate. The process leaves no approval records in your wallet and keeps no identity data in our systems.

If the original quote can't be filled — expiry, liquidity shifts and so on — we re-quote and ask you to confirm; if you decline, the BTC is refunded to the sending address — no service fee, with only the on-chain miner fee of the refund transfer deducted from the refund amount. If a technical failure occurs, the quote-matching engine triggers the refund flow automatically. For any anomaly, contact Telegram @upswapservice or email support@upswap.io with your order number and we'll review it manually.

Blockchain transfers are irreversible. If the wrong address is one nobody controls (say, one character off), the ETH is stuck there permanently and we have no way to recover it. So double- and triple-check the receiving address before ordering — copy and paste rather than typing, and run a small test first. If the wrong address is someone else's valid address, recovery means contacting that person; UpSwap has no authority over third-party wallets.

The page shows the live minimum and maximum fillable amounts, which shift dynamically with the routing depth the quote-matching engine sees at that moment. For large orders (several BTC and up), contact us in advance via Telegram @upswapservice to lock depth — you'll get a steadier quote and avoid the extra slippage of splitting.

Enter only via the upswap.io main domain, bookmark it, and open from the bookmark — never from short links in communities, comment sections or search ads. Check the address-bar spelling carefully: common fakes substitute 0 for o, add hyphens or extra letters. Any page that asks you to connect a wallet and sign, type a seed phrase, or send coins to a "support address" for activation is fake — the real UpSwap flow never requires any of that.

You can, but the CEX route requires KYC registration, passing your funds through custody, and deposit-plus-withdrawal fees twice over, on a timeline of 1 hour to 1-2 days — with regional restrictions in some markets. UpSwap differs: no sign-up or KYC, funds never sit in a custodial account with us, and the 4-step flow completes in 15-30 minutes — suited to users who don't want to leave an identity trail or just need a one-off swap. Neither option is strictly better; it depends whether you value speed plus privacy, or depth plus limit-order flexibility.
