Why people swap BTC to ETC.
Storing value securely. Bitcoin serves as a digital gold, and swapping to ETC allows holding value on a network that prioritizes immutability and code-based governance. This makes it ideal for long-term savings and institutional allocations.
Mining opportunity. Post-The Merge, many miners shifted to ETC to preserve their PoW consensus mechanism. Swapping BTC to ETC enables these miners to participate in the network and earn rewards directly.
Philosophical alignment. ETC upholds the principles of the original Ethereum, maintaining a proof-of-work system. This attracts users who value decentralization and immutability over scalability and energy efficiency.
Deeper liquidity. With its robust order books and acceptance by major exchanges, swapping BTC to ETC offers a secure and liquid environment for traders seeking a principled alternative to the mainstream Ethereum.

Questions people ask.
01 What's the current BTC to ETC exchange rate?
The current exchange rate is influenced by market demand and supply dynamics. Right now, 1 BTC approximately equals 8730.53 ETC. The rate updates every 60 seconds on this page. The exact amount you'll receive is locked at the moment your BTC arrives at the deposit address.
02 How long does a BTC to ETC swap take?
Average end-to-end time is about 5 minutes. Bitcoin typically requires 10-60 minutes for confirmation depending on fee priority. Mempool congestion can delay this further. You can track progress in real time on the swap page.
03 Which BTC networks are supported?
SwapHub supports BTC on the Bitcoin mainnet. Transactions on the Lightning Network are not supported for this swap. Pick the mainnet for the fastest and most reliable confirmation times.
04 What is the typical fee for BTC transactions?
Fees for BTC transactions can range from $0.50 to $30+ depending on network load. Using SegWit and batch transactions can significantly reduce these costs. Typical confirmation times on the Bitcoin mainnet can range from 10-60 minutes.
05 Do I need to create an account or pass KYC?
No. SwapHub is non-custodial and accountless. You never give us an email, you never upload ID. Some liquidity providers may ask for verification on unusually large orders — if that applies, you'll see it before committing funds.
06 Float rate vs Fixed rate — which should I pick?
Float gives you the best available rate at the moment your deposit arrives (usually a slightly better number, subject to movement). Fixed locks the rate when you create the order, costing about 0.4% extra — worth it for large amounts or when the market is moving fast.
07 Is there a fee on top of the exchange rate?
SwapHub charges no extra fee on top of the displayed rate — our margin is already included in what you see. You'll also pay the network fee for ETC and gas on your chosen BTC network.
08 What happens if I send the wrong amount?
If you send less than the minimum, the order pauses and you can add a top-up. If you send more than the estimate, you'll automatically receive the extra ETC at the locked rate. Sending a different coin to the BTC address is recoverable but requires contacting support.
09 Can I swap BTC to ETC inside Telegram?
Yes. @swapHUB_com_bot opens a Telegram Mini App with the same flow, same rates, same providers. Convenient for mobile users who already live in Telegram.
10 Is SwapHub regulated? Where is it based?
SwapHub operates as a non-custodial interface that routes orders across multiple licensed exchange providers. We don't custody funds, so the regulatory model is closer to an aggregator than an exchange. For jurisdiction-specific questions, see the Terms.
