Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much USDT to send and enter your Ripple address on XRP Ledger.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer USDT to the address on your order — after confirmations, XRP is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Deposits on ERC-20 on Optimism follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Send only on ERC-20 on Optimism — other networks are not interchangeable.
- Double-check the network on your order page before you send.
- XRP not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Tether on Optimism
Always match USDT on ERC-20 on Optimism when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports ERC-20 on Optimism.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
XRP payout delays
If XRP is missing, verify destination tag requirements and that your wallet supports the XRP Ledger mainnet.
When will XRP arrive?
XRP Ledger settlements are among the fastest in crypto — often seconds after your deposit confirms.
- Check whether your receiving wallet requires a destination tag and that you entered it on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet needs a minimum balance to activate the account.
- Use the payout tx hash on an XRP Ledger explorer if your wallet balance has not updated.

Do I need KYC to swap USDT to XRP?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Tether to Ripple swaps.
How long does USDT to XRP take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on ERC-20 on Optimism and XRP Ledger confirmations and current network load.
Is USDT to XRP non-custodial?
Yes. You send USDT from your wallet and receive XRP directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send USDT on the wrong network?
