Step-by-step: swap BTC to USDT
Step 1
Pick the BTC → USDT pair
Select BTC as the asset you're sending and USDT as the asset you want to receive. Confirm the network on each side — USDT on the wrong network can mean lost funds.
Step 2
Get a live aggregated quote
Monivo polls every connected provider and shows the best BTC/USDT output for your amount, including the network fee and the exact USDT you'll receive.
Step 3
Paste your USDT wallet address
Enter the wallet that should receive your USDT. Double-check the first and last 6 characters — it must be a valid Tether (USDT) address.
Step 4
Choose fixed or floating rate
For a stablecoin payout, a floating rate is usually cheapest. Use a fixed rate if you want the USDT amount locked before you deposit.
Step 5
Send your BTC deposit
Send the exact BTC amount to the one-time deposit address shown. BTC typically confirms within 10–30 minutes.
Step 6
Receive your USDT
Once confirmed, the swap executes automatically and USDT is pushed directly to your wallet — no withdrawal step.

Fees, rates, and safety
A BTC→USDT swap has two cost layers: the Bitcoin network fee, and the provider spread baked into the quote. Aggregated routing shows the all-in USDT you receive up front, so compare the net payout — not the headline rate. Use a fixed rate to lock the price before depositing, or a floating rate to settle at market when your deposit confirms. Always verify the destination network and the first and last 6 characters of your USDT address before sending.
