Ethereum to Bitcoin
Numbers from 8 Nov 2026, 16:00 UTC
The smallest ETH to BTC swap at the last check was 0.0021271 ETH, at ChangeNOW. Each exchange sets its own limits in ETH: FixedFloat from 0.005 to 45, ChangeNOW from 0.0021271 with no stated maximum, StealthEX from 0.0021272 with no stated maximum and SimpleSwap from 0.00216969 with no stated maximum. They move with the market, so the swap box checks them again when you enter an amount.
Ethereum adds a block every 12 seconds, and a block counts as final after about 13 minutes. The exchange starts the swap once it counts your deposit as confirmed. Your BTC then goes out: Bitcoin adds a block about every 10 minutes. ChangeNOW expects 10 to 60 minutes in all.
ETH goes on Ethereum here, and the coin list also has it on Arbitrum, Base and BNB Smart Chain. BTC goes on Bitcoin here, and the coin list also has it on BNB Smart Chain and Lightning. Send and receive only on the network you picked.
For 0.22 ETH at the last check: FixedFloat 0.00644661 BTC, ChangeNOW 0.0064287 BTC, StealthEX 0.0063898 BTC, SimpleSwap 0.0063851 BTC and WizardSwap 0.00632709 BTC. FixedFloat paid the most in 8 of the last 8 checks. Each quote already takes out the exchange's fee and its cost of sending your BTC (ChangeNOW counts 0.0000049 BTC for that), so your swap goes to whichever pays out the most when you ask.
In the US only StealthEX and WizardSwap takes this swap, so visitors there get their rate.
No account is needed. An exchange can hold a swap that its own checks flag and ask for ID before it pays out; ChangeNOW, FixedFloat, SimpleSwap and StealthEX explain when in their terms.
