Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the BTC amount and paste the USD Coin address that should collect payout on ERC-20 on Base.
-
Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.
-
Send exactly that BTC amount to the deposit. After Bitcoin mainnet confirms, USDC is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- A single network confirmation is typically enough to start the payout.
- How long BTC takes to confirm tracks mempool load and the fee on your send.
- SegWit deposit addresses keep fees lower. If your wallet cannot send to SegWit, contact support before you broadcast.
- If USDC is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the order status. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — ToSwap has no login that can reopen expired pages.
Bitcoin on ToSwap — liquidity without a login
BTC is still the deepest on-ramp into crypto. On ToSwap you keep the keys: quote first, broadcast native Bitcoin, collect XMR, ETH, stables, or another indexed payout — anonymous no-KYC, no hosted balance.
BTC deposit checklist
- Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
- Leave enough for a network fee — low fees mean slower confirmation.
- Broadcast only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the deposit shown on your order.
How long does a BTC deposit take?
Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.
- Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
- Explorers show queue position — compare against pending transaction volume.
- Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.
Why traders move BTC to other chains
Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition — many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.
Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.
USD Coin on Base
Credit USDC only on ERC-20 on Base. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
When USDC arrives
Set your wallet to ERC-20 on Base.
If the order already lists a payout tx, wait a few minutes and resync before contacting support.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.
Asset hubs
More anonymous no-KYC lanes and chain notes for each coin.
FAQ for this route
Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for BTC → USDC?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Bitcoin to USD Coin order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does USDC usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Bitcoin mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Bitcoin mainnet or ERC-20 on Base can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my BTC or USDC?
No hosted balance. You broadcast BTC from a wallet you control; USDC is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send BTC on the wrong network?
Match Bitcoin mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
