ChangeNOW delivers the most here — 0.61% more than StealthEX, but it has not stated its network fee, so that figure is a ceiling rather than a promise. StealthEX is 0.60% behind on paper and is one of the few whose number we can confirm.

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.

Cambio was behind the best rate at this check — and we show it anyway. Every quote is compared live, and the number on the card is the number that settles.

Every row is a live quote from that exchange’s own API at the time shown, for this exact size, as it would pay out through Cambio. Exchange names belong to their owners.

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.

USDC
Arbitrum ERC20 (Arbitrum)

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.

  • NetworkArbitrum
  • Confirmations needed20
  • Average block timesub-second blocks
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.

Questions

USDC to BTC on Bitcoin — frequently asked.

Is this a bridge swap?

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

How long does the swap take?

The deposit side on Arbitrum confirms in seconds; the payout on Bitcoin typically confirms in 10–60 minutes. 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 BTC into an exchange account?

Yes — on the exchange’s deposit screen pick BTC and make sure the network is Bitcoin, 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.
