Networks and wallets for BTC to ETH
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.
Ethereum mainnet
Choose the exact Ethereum network shown in the quote. If you plan to use the ETH for gas, it needs to arrive on the same network as the transaction you want to make.
An on-chain BTC deposit and an Ethereum mainnet ETH payout are separate transfers. If you need ETH to pay gas on a layer 2, compare a direct payout to that layer 2 with an Ethereum payout followed by a bridge.
How to convert BTC to ETH
- Check that a live provider quotes your BTC deposit network and the ETH payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of ETH you would receive after fees, then confirm the receiving address and any memo or tag required for your payout.
- If you go ahead, follow the live order’s deposit instructions. Keep the order ID and the BTC transaction reference, then verify the ETH payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare BTC to ETH rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the BTC amount by the rate expressed in ETH per BTC. Then compare the actual ETH payout for the same BTC amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Orbit uses a $100 minimum. The estimate on this page uses reference market prices before fees. An executable quote, including any additional route limits, comes from a live settlement provider.
