-
Send USDC to that deposit. After confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- ERC-20 USDC follows Ethereum confirmation times.
- Send USDC on Ethereum mainnet only for this route — not Polygon, Base, or Solana USDC.
- Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending USDC.
- BTC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
USD Coin — regulated dollar stablecoin
USDC on Ethereum mainnet is a widely trusted stablecoin for DeFi and transfers — always use ERC-20 on Ethereum unless stated otherwise.
USDC on Ethereum mainnet
Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. L2 USDC is a different asset on-chain.
Gas fees apply to token transfers — ensure sufficient ETH balance.
Bitcoin — the original digital asset
Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.
When is my BTC spendable?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
Checking your BTC payout
- Open the order page and copy the payout transaction hash into a Bitcoin block explorer.
- Confirm the destination address matches your wallet exactly — including case and format.
- Most wallets show incoming BTC after one confirmation; some exchanges wait for more.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade USDC for BTC?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for USD Coin → Bitcoin.
How long is a USDC → BTC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. ERC-20 on Ethereum and Bitcoin mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody USDC or BTC?
No. You send USDC yourself and BTC is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong USDC network?
Match the network printed on the order (ERC-20 on Ethereum). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
