Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XRP 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 XRP to the address on your order — after confirmations, BTC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- XRP Ledger confirmations are typically very fast — often seconds.
- If your receiving account requires a destination tag, enter it exactly on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance to activate the account.
- 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.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
Destination tags on XRP
Exchanges and custodial wallets often require a destination tag — missing tags delay or complicate crediting.
Self-custody addresses may not need a tag; check what your wallet provider expects.
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 XRP to BTC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Ripple to Bitcoin swaps.
How long does XRP to BTC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on XRP Ledger and Bitcoin mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is XRP to BTC non-custodial?
Yes. You send XRP from your wallet and receive BTC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send XRP on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (XRP Ledger for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
