Why convert BTC to ETH?

Most of the liquidity in the crypto market is concentrated in Bitcoin and Ethereum. A transfer between them is common—especially when moving an asset out of long-term BTC storage into the Ethereum ecosystem to make use of the token in active protocols.


Given the dominance of both cryptocurrencies, bridging between blockchains has become routine for investors. Moving funds from the Bitcoin network to the Ethereum network is essential for those involved in trading, DeFi, or using tokens in decentralized services without going through KYC.

What is a Cross-Chain Bridge?

Cross-chain bridges are software-based interoperability solutions designed to enable seamless interactivity between blockchains.

In simpler terms, these bridges use smart contracts to facilitate the transfer of assets and data between different blockchain networks that would otherwise operate in isolation.


By doing so, they enhance the utility within the Web 3 ecosystem, allowing both users and developers to harness the full power of various networks. This results in a more interconnected and robust ecosystem, where assets can be easily exchanged, including bridging BTC to ETH.

No Detours, Just Direct Transfer

The entire transfer from BTC to ETH is handled in one straight flow—no extra apps, no external blockchain bridges. You simply choose the amount, confirm the route, and the system does the rest behind the scenes.

Stable Rates with Deep Liquidity

Internal liquidity sources help keep the pricing consistent—even with large volumes. You get reliable results without unexpected changes during the exchange, which is especially important for cryptocurrency holders managing serious capital.

Unified System Without Extra Approvals

The entire process runs within a single platform—no need for manual confirmations at every step or switching between services. It saves time and reduces the risk of mistakes during cross-network bridging.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to bridge BTC to ETH?

Usually between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the current network load and confirmation times.

What fees are involved in the transfer process?

Fees include Bitcoin network gas, Ethereum gas, and the platform’s routing fee—all shown before you confirm the transaction.

Is KYC required to bridge between Bitcoin and Ethereum?

No special wallet is required. Any wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens can store and send wBTC without extra steps. If it works with Ethereum, it will work with wrapped Bitcoin too.

Is wBTC fully backed by real Bitcoin?

No. The process is fully non-custodial and doesn’t require KYC or account registration.

How to swap BTC to ETH on MetaMask or Trust Wallet?

You can’t do it natively. Use a bridge platform that connects to MetaMask or Trust Wallet, initiate the transfer there, and complete the process through your connected wallet.
