About swapping BTC

What you can swap BTC to. USDT, ETH, USDC, BNB and other tokens on EVM and non-EVM networks. Over the 90 days to 29 September 2026, the most popular directions on Symbiosis were USDT on Tron (20% of BTC swap volume), USDT on Ethereum (19%) and ETH (18%).
How a BTC swap works. The app shows a deposit address and the exact amount of BTC to send. You enter a receiving address on the destination network and a Bitcoin refund address, then send BTC from any Bitcoin wallet.
What you receive. Native tokens on the destination network, such as USDT on Tron or ETH on Ethereum. BTC stays native on the way in — there is no wrapped bitcoin step for you to manage.
Speed. Over the 90 days to 29 September 2026, the median BTC swap on Symbiosis took about 9 minutes, most of it waiting for Bitcoin confirmations.

BTC swaps: BTC to USDT, USDT to BTC, BNB to BTC.

Swap BTC in Symbiosis PRO mode: 0.02339 BTC (Bitcoin) to 1,977.28 USDT (Tron)

How to swap BTC

A real case from 5 October 2026: a user swapped 0.02339 BTC (~$2,001) on Bitcoin and received 1,977.88 USDT on Tron via Symbiosis about 16 minutes after the Bitcoin transfer was registered — fully non-custodial. The router looks at the available liquidity and picks the best combination of price, fee and delivery time. Here is the flow:

Picked the direction. BTC on Bitcoin as the source and USDT on Tron as the destination.
Entered the addresses. A receiving address on Tron for the USDT and a Bitcoin refund address, in case the swap could not be completed.
Sent the BTC. 0.02339 BTC (~$2,001) from a Bitcoin wallet to the deposit address shown in the app, exactly the amount the app asked for.
Reviewed the quote. Before sending, the app showed the USDT to receive, the fee and the expected time, with 2% slippage tolerance protecting against price moves.
Received. 1,977.88 USDT arrived on Tron about 16 minutes after the Bitcoin transfer was registered. The swap is verifiable on mempool.space and Tronscan.
