Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much USDC to send and enter your Bitcoin address on Bitcoin mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer USDC to the address on your order — after confirmations, BTC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- ERC-20 USDC follows Ethereum confirmation times.
- Send USDC on Ethereum mainnet only for this route — not Polygon, Base, or Solana USDC.
- Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending USDC.
- BTC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
USD Coin — regulated dollar stablecoin
USDC on Ethereum mainnet is a widely trusted stablecoin for DeFi and transfers — always use ERC-20 on Ethereum unless stated otherwise.
USDC on Ethereum mainnet
Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. L2 USDC is a different asset on-chain.
Gas fees apply to token transfers — ensure sufficient ETH balance.
Bitcoin — the original digital asset
Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.
When is my BTC spendable?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
Checking your BTC payout
- Open the order page and copy the payout transaction hash into a Bitcoin block explorer.
- Confirm the destination address matches your wallet exactly — including case and format.
- Most wallets show incoming BTC after one confirmation; some exchanges wait for more.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap USDC to BTC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for USD Coin to Bitcoin swaps.
How long does USDC to BTC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on ERC-20 on Ethereum and Bitcoin mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is USDC to BTC non-custodial?
Yes. You send USDC from your wallet and receive BTC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send USDC on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (ERC-20 on Ethereum for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
