No bridge. No wrapped BTC. Just an ordinary BTC transfer to a Cambio Bitcoin address, and an ordinary USDT payout straight to your Ethereum wallet.
Live rate, no account, and an order ID to track it — or skip the form and just tell our AI the swap you want.
BTC → USDT
Live rateNo accounts, no waiting. Tell Cambio what you want, send your BTC, and the USDT lands in your wallet in under a minute.
Type "swap 0.01 BTC to USDT on Ethereum" into the composer. The AI parses your intent, confirms Bitcoin as the deposit chain and Ethereum as the destination, and returns a live quote with the chain-aware spread floor (0.60% on Bitcoin-side deposits) within 200 milliseconds.
Cambio generates a one-time Bitcoin deposit address for your order (bech32 format, starts with bc1q). Send your BTC to that address. Pay a reasonable miner fee — typical confirmation in 10–30 minutes; under-fee transactions can sit in the mempool for hours.
Once your BTC deposit gets its first confirmation, Cambio settles the swap non-custodially and sends USDT to your destination wallet using the ERC20 contract. The two transactions are completely independent — no bridge attestation, no wrapped BTC anywhere. End-to-end usually 10–30 minutes, dominated by Bitcoin confirmation time.

Cambio delivers the most here — 0.41% more than Alfacash, 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 USDT, so the Bitcoin side sets the pace here, not the Ethereum side.
USDT on Ethereum is a token, so sending it also needs Ethereum'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 Ethereum: 0.455%. Below that the corridor stops covering settlement.
USDT on Ethereum 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.
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and the largest crypto asset by market capitalization. Sending BTC is a UTXO transfer on the Bitcoin mainnet — you pay a miner fee directly from the transaction, not a separate gas balance. Confirmations average 10 minutes per block; Cambio waits for 1 confirmation before paying out.
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.

No. There is no bridge contract in this flow on the Cambio side. You send BTC to a Cambio Bitcoin address. We send USDT to your Ethereum wallet using the ERC20 contract. The two transactions never reference each other on-chain — the relationship lives only in our order book. No wrapped BTC (WBTC, renBTC, anything), no bridge validator set, no cross-chain message.
Usually 10 to 30 minutes total, dominated by Bitcoin confirmation. Bitcoin produces a block roughly every 10 minutes; Cambio waits for 1 confirmation before paying out. The Ethereum payout itself confirms in about 12 seconds soft once we trigger it. If your deposit transaction is paying a low miner fee during a busy mempool period, confirmation can take longer.
No account or sign-up is needed. Every swap is screened against sanctions and on-chain risk lists; 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.

Chain-aware spread (0.60% floor on Bitcoin), live-market pricing, and a live competitor strip on every quote. Cross-chain pairs from Bitcoin are where Cambio's pricing wins most clearly — most competitors either run a wrapped-BTC bridge under the hood or pay a partner-exchange spread on top of their own.
