Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XRP to send and enter your Tether address on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer XRP to the address on your order — after confirmations, USDT 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.
- USDT 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.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is widely used in DeFi — send only on Ethereum mainnet.
Receiving ERC-20 USDT
Your wallet must be on Ethereum mainnet with the USDT token visible.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap XRP to USDT?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Ripple to Tether swaps.
How long does XRP to USDT take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on XRP Ledger and ERC-20 on Ethereum confirmations and current network load.
Is XRP to USDT non-custodial?
Yes. You send XRP from your wallet and receive USDT 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.
