Swap Bitcoin (BTC) to Tether (USDT) (USDT)
Converting Bitcoin (BTC) to Tether (USDT) is how most traders realise gains without leaving crypto. Monivo compares quotes across connected providers and lets you settle USDT on the network that's cheapest to move next — Tron (TRC-20) for near-zero fees, Ethereum (ERC-20) for DeFi, or Solana / BSC / Arbitrum for specific ecosystems.
How it works
- 1. Enter the amount of BTC to swap.
- 2. Paste your Tether (USDT) wallet address.
- 3. Pick a fixed or floating rate.
- 4. Send BTC to the one-time deposit address.
- 5. Receive USDT in your wallet.
BTC → USDT routing details
Monivo requests quotes from every connected liquidity provider for this route and shows the one that pays out the most USDT. The amount shown is an estimate that depends on the rate type you pick and the provider's own terms; it is confirmed in the widget above before you send anything, with zero added fees on top of the rate you see. The selected provider receives your deposit and settles the payout.
| Detail | You send — BTC | You receive — USDT |
|---|---|---|
| Supported networks |
|
|
| Confirmations | 1–2 confirmations (~10–20 minutes) | 1–12 confirmations, depending on the network |
| Typical processing | Indicative: usually 10–30 minutes end to end, provider-dependent | Indicative: usually 5–15 minutes end to end, provider-dependent |
| Custody | Sent from your own BTC wallet to a one-time deposit address. | Paid straight to the Tether (USDT) address you provide — Monivo never holds funds. |
Fixed rate or floating rate for BTC → USDT?
Fixed rate
The USDT amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your BTC deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote as long as you send on time and within the quoted limits. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.
Floating rate
The swap executes at the market rate when your BTC deposit lands. It can pay out more USDT than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.
Why swap BTC to USDT on Monivo
- Aggregated rate comparison. Monivo compares quotes across multiple providers so your USDT payout reflects the strongest quote Monivo found at that moment — with zero added fees, so you can compare elsewhere before confirming.
- Non-custodial. Monivo never holds your BTC or USDT. The Tether (USDT) is sent straight to the wallet address you provide.
- No account. No sign-up and no email for standard BTC/USDT swaps; the executing provider may still request verification.
- Fixed or floating rate. Lock the BTC/USDT rate at quote time, or use the market rate at execution.
Why swap BTC → USDT
- Lock in Bitcoin profits into a USD-pegged stable without a centralised exchange.
- Move to USDT-TRC20 for cheap peer-to-peer or cross-border transfers.
- Fund a Solana or BSC wallet with a stable balance before trading.
- Sit out volatility while keeping funds self-custodied.
Network fees explained
Sending BTC
Standard Bitcoin miner fee applies on the send side — set by your wallet, typically a few dollars.
Receiving USDT
USDT on Tron settles for cents. USDT on Ethereum costs whatever gas is at settlement time. USDT on Solana / BSC / Arbitrum sits between the two. Pick the network based on what you'll do with the USDT next — not just the receive fee.
Best wallets for USDT
- Trust Wallet. Multi-chain wallet with strong USDT-TRC20 and USDT-BEP20 support.
- MetaMask. Best for USDT-ERC20 and USDT on EVM L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon).
- Phantom. Native Solana wallet — best for USDT-SPL.
- Ledger. Hardware storage for larger stable balances across networks.
Verify the destination address and network before confirming — crypto transfers are irreversible.
Fees and pricing
Monivo does not add a separate platform fee. The quoted receive amount reflects the executing provider's pricing and applicable payout costs. Your sending wallet or exchange may charge its own network or withdrawal fee. The amount shown is an estimate; fixed and floating quotes follow the provider's terms.
Monivo does not add a separate platform fee. Some partner quotes include a small affiliate margin that is retained by Monivo as a referral commission; this margin is included in the rate shown, not added on top. Provider spreads and applicable network costs are also reflected in the quoted amount.
Network fees are set by the blockchain, not by Monivo. No account, no subscription and no withdrawal charge. Live support is available 24/7.
BTC → USDT FAQ

Most BTC/USDT swaps complete in 5–20 minutes, depending on Bitcoin network confirmation times.

Do I need an account to exchange BTC for USDT?
No. Monivo is non-custodial — provide a Tether (USDT) address and swap directly from your wallet.
What's the minimum BTC to USDT swap?
Minimums are set by the underlying liquidity provider and shown live before you confirm a quote.
Which USDT network is cheapest?
USDT on Tron (TRC-20) is the cheapest to send, usually under $1. USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is the most widely accepted but pays Ethereum gas on every transfer.
