Networks and wallets for BTC to BCH
Bitcoin mainnet
Select an on-chain Bitcoin withdrawal when the provider quotes Bitcoin mainnet. Lightning invoices and wrapped BTC on other chains require separate routes.
Bitcoin Cash mainnet
Generate a Bitcoin Cash receive address, preferably in the wallet’s CashAddr format where the provider accepts it. Check the asset and network even if a legacy address looks like a Bitcoin address.
Check BTC deposit and BCH payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your BCH wallet expects.
How to convert BTC to BCH
- Enter the BTC amount to see the estimated BCH payout.
- Enter a receiving address on Bitcoin Cash mainnet and a refund address on Bitcoin mainnet. Check any destination tag your wallet requires.
- When the route accepts orders, review the exact amounts and follow the deposit instructions. Submit the BTC transaction ID and use your private order link to track the BCH payout.
How to compare BTC to BCH rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the BTC amount by the rate expressed in BCH per BTC. Then compare the actual BCH payout for the same BTC amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Swap Crypto has a $100 minimum. Estimates use market prices before fees. The order page shows the exact send and receive amounts, and your wallet may charge a separate network fee for sending the deposit.
