About the BTC to USDT swap

Why swap BTC to USDT. Taking profit from bitcoin into a stablecoin, or paying with dollars while holding BTC, usually means a centralized exchange. Symbiosis swaps native BTC straight to USDT on the network you choose.
How it works. The app gives you a Bitcoin deposit address and the exact amount to send. Once the transfer is registered, Symbiosis completes the swap and delivers USDT to your address on the destination network.
Where your USDT can land. USDT on Tron (TRC20), Ethereum (ERC20), BNB Chain (BEP20) or TON. You enter a receiving address for that network and a Bitcoin refund address.
Cost and speed. On 6 October 2026, 0.012 BTC returned about 1,015 USDT on any of the four networks, with a fee of about $11–12; the Bitcoin network fee is paid separately. Over the 90 days to 29 September 2026, the median BTC to USDT swap took about 9 minutes.

Swap BTC to USDT in Symbiosis PRO mode: 0.15 BTC (Bitcoin) to 12,685.80 USDT (Tron)

How to swap BTC to USDT

A real case from 5 October 2026: a user swapped 0.15 BTC (~$12,883) on Bitcoin and received 12,763.97 USDT on Tron via Symbiosis about 3 minutes after the Bitcoin transfer was registered — fully non-custodial. Behind the swap, Symbiosis checks several routes and chooses the one with the best price, fee and speed. 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. 0.15 BTC (~$12,883) 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. 12,763.97 USDT arrived on Tron about 3 minutes after the Bitcoin transfer was registered. The swap is verifiable on Tronscan.
