Networks and wallets for BTC to USDT
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 (ERC-20) or the quoted USDT network
Choose a wallet that supports USDT on the quoted network. If you plan to move it again from a self-custody wallet, check which native asset is needed for fees.
Choose the USDT payout network based on where you plan to use it next. Check that the recipient accepts the quoted chain and that you can pay any future network fees on that chain.
How to convert BTC to USDT
- Check that a live provider quotes your BTC deposit network and the USDT payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of USDT 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 USDT payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare BTC to USDT rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the BTC amount by the rate expressed in USDT per BTC. Then compare the actual USDT 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.
