Swap Bitcoin (BTC) to Ethereum (ETH)

Swapping Bitcoin (BTC) to Ethereum (ETH) is the single most-run trade in crypto — people move from BTC into ETH to farm yield, mint NFTs, use DeFi, or diversify. Monivo aggregates quotes across every connected liquidity provider and settles ETH directly to your wallet in a single step, so you skip the classic exchange → withdrawal → gas-top-up dance.

Fixed rate or floating rate for BTC → ETH?

Fixed rate

The ETH amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your BTC deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote even if the price moves. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.

Floating rate

The swap executes at the market rate when your BTC deposit lands. Usually pays out slightly more ETH than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.

Network fees explained

Sending BTC

Bitcoin miner fees are set by the sender's wallet at broadcast time. A standard-priority BTC send usually confirms in the first block target and costs a few dollars; congestion during peak mempool traffic can push this higher. Monivo's quoted output is what you receive after the destination-side payout — the BTC miner fee is charged by your wallet, not by Monivo.

Receiving ETH

The Ethereum payout is covered by the routing provider, so you don't need any ETH pre-funded to receive it. Once it lands, subsequent transactions from that address will need ETH for gas — leave a small buffer if you plan to move it again.
