Networks and wallets for ETH to BTC
Ethereum mainnet
Check whether your ETH balance is on Ethereum mainnet or a layer 2 such as Arbitrum or Base. The same 0x address can appear on several networks.

How to convert ETH to BTC
- Check that a live provider quotes your ETH deposit network and the BTC payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of BTC 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 ETH transaction reference, then verify the BTC payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare ETH to BTC rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the ETH amount by the rate expressed in BTC per ETH. Then compare the actual BTC payout for the same ETH amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
