Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much USDT to send and enter your Ethereum address on Ethereum mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer USDT to the address on your order — after confirmations, ETH is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- TRC-20 USDT confirms quickly on Tron — usually within a minute or two.
- Never send USDT on the wrong network. TRC-20, ERC-20, and other variants are not interchangeable.
- Keep a small TRX balance in your wallet to pay Tron energy/bandwidth for TRC-20 sends.
- ETH 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 — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers — always match the correct chain (TRC-20, ERC-20, etc.).
USDT network mismatch
The most common error is sending ERC-20 USDT to a TRC-20 address or vice versa.
Double-check the network badge on your order before sending.
Ethereum — programmable money on-chain
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.
What if my ETH hasn't arrived?
Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.
Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.
How fast is the ETH payout?
Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.
Receiving ETH on the correct network
- Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.
Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts
The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.
- Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
- Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.

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