BTC → USDC
Live rateNo accounts, no waiting. Tell Cambio what you want, send your BTC, and the USDC lands in your wallet in under a minute.
Type "swap 0.01 BTC to USDC on Arbitrum" into the composer. The AI parses your intent, confirms Bitcoin as the source and Arbitrum as the destination, and returns a live quote with the full competitor comparison alongside it.
Cambio generates a one-time deposit address on Bitcoin. Send your BTC there — Bitcoin typically confirms in 10–60 minutes, and the card tracks every confirmation in real time.
Once your deposit confirms, the payout goes out to your Arbitrum address directly — Arbitrum confirms in seconds. No bridge hop, no wrapped assets, no waiting on a second protocol.
Live quotes from every exchange that answered, at exactly this size: BTC → USDC on ARBITRUM
Cambio delivers the most here — 0.15% more than Quickex, and it stated its network fee, so this figure is after that fee rather than before it. It is also the fastest, at about 11 minutes.

Network fee — a stated amount is what the exchange returned, and the figure shown is after it. “included” means the exchange’s own price already contains its network fee, not itemised. “not stated” means its API returned no fee, so that amount is a ceiling rather than a promise.
Every row is what that exchange would pay for this exact size, quoted live from its own API at the time shown and ranked by what lands in your wallet. The bar is each row’s all-in cost against the market rate at that moment, drawn to one scale — ours included.
Bitcoin is a UTXO chain: your BTC deposit has to be mined, and until it confirms it can still be replaced. Cambio waits 2 confirmations before sending your USDC, so the Bitcoin side sets the pace here, not the Arbitrum side.
USDC on Arbitrum is a token, so sending it also needs Arbitrum's own coin for gas. Cambio funds that separately, which is why the USDC side is capped by what the wallet holds rather than by a policy number.
Floor on Arbitrum: 0.35%. Below that the corridor stops covering settlement.
USDC on Arbitrum carries 6 decimals, so every amount on this page is quoted to that precision and no further.
Cambio waits 2 confirmations on Bitcoin, then sends the payout immediately. End to end this corridor typically takes ~11 min.

Two different assets, two different on-chain stories. Here’s the minimum you should know before you send anything.
BTC is the original settlement asset. Sending BTC is an ordinary native transfer — no token approval, no contract interaction. Bitcoin typically confirms in 10–60 minutes, and no contract address — BTC is the chain itself.
USDC on Arbitrum is issuer-native USDC (not a bridged wrapper). The network confirms in seconds, with L2 fees — a fraction of Ethereum L1 gas — and Circle mints it directly on Arbitrum rather than bridging it over.

No. Your BTC goes to a Cambio deposit address on Bitcoin as an ordinary transfer, and you receive USDC on Arbitrum as an ordinary Arbitrum transaction. No bridge contract, no wrapped assets, no cross-chain messages.
The deposit side on Bitcoin typically confirms in 10–60 minutes; the payout on Arbitrum confirms in seconds. The status card tracks every stage live — detection, confirmation, payout — so you are never guessing which side you are waiting on.
No account or sign-up is needed. Every swap is screened against sanctions and on-chain risk lists before a deposit address is issued; in line with applicable law and our risk-based AML policy, identity verification may be requested where screening flags elevated risk.
There is no fixed per-swap cap. The most you can send on this pair is shown in the table above and recalculated on every quote, so it always reflects what we can settle right now.
Yes — on the exchange’s deposit screen pick USDC and make sure the network is Arbitrum (ERC20 (Arbitrum)), then paste that deposit address into the Cambio composer as your destination. If the network on the exchange side doesn’t match, don’t send — ask the AI and it will walk you through it.
Every quote ships with a live comparison against the biggest instant exchanges — including when we lose — and the number on the card is the number that settles. Pricing is chain-aware, the route has no bridge exposure, and screening happens before your deposit, never after.
All from the 62,231 active launch-scope pairs. Each one has its own page with live rates, competitor comparison, and chain-specific notes.
