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.

THIS CORRIDOR, IN NUMBERS

BTC on Bitcoin → USDT on Arbitrum

What BTC → USDT actually costs

  • You send 0.01 BTC on Bitcoin.
  • You receive 774.0328 USDT.
  • The smallest swap this corridor accepts is 0.0022 BTC.

Why this pair behaves the way it does

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 USDT, so the Bitcoin side sets the pace here, not the Arbitrum side.

USDT on Arbitrum is a token, so sending it also needs Arbitrum's own coin for gas. Cambio funds that separately, which is why the USDT 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.

USDT on Arbitrum carries 6 decimals, so every amount on this page is quoted to that precision and no further.

How long BTC on Bitcoin takes to clear

Cambio waits 2 confirmations on Bitcoin, then sends the payout immediately. End to end this corridor typically takes ~11 min.

The two coins

What you’re actually swapping.

Two different assets, two different on-chain stories. Here’s the minimum you should know before you send anything.

BTC
Bitcoin native

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.

  • Confirmations needed2
  • Average block time~10-minute blocks
USDT
Arbitrum ERC20 (Arbitrum)

This is ERC20 (Arbitrum) USDT: dollar-pegged USDT in the Ethereum ecosystem at rollup fees. On Arbitrum it confirms in seconds, and you get Ethereum-ecosystem USDT without paying L1 gas.

Questions

BTC to USDT on Arbitrum — frequently asked.

Is this a bridge swap?

No. Your BTC goes to a Cambio deposit address on Bitcoin as an ordinary transfer, and you receive USDT on Arbitrum as an ordinary Arbitrum transaction. No bridge contract, no wrapped assets, no cross-chain messages.

How long does the swap take?

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.

Is there sign-up or KYC?

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.

What is the maximum I can swap?

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.

Can I receive the USDT into an exchange account?

Yes — on the exchange’s deposit screen pick USDT 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.

Why use Cambio for this pair?

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.
