TL;DR: Convert BTC to XRP with no KYC

• Start immediately—no registration or documents.
• Send BTC to a one‑time deposit address; receive XRP after confirmations.
• See rate and fees before sending (fixed or floating quotes).
• Works with common BTC wallets and major XRP wallets (Xaman/Xumm, hardware wallets).

Why choose Swapcherry for BTC → XRP

• No account / no KYC: Begin the swap in seconds—no personal data submission.
• Non‑custodial flow: You hold BTC until you broadcast the transfer.
• Transparent quotes: Rate, fees, and expected XRP shown upfront.
• Clear settlement: After confirmations, XRP is sent automatically to your address.

What you’ll need

• A wallet with BTC you can send (prefer bech32 bc1… for fee efficiency)
• An XRP receiving address you control (classic address starting with r… or an X‑address)
• A small buffer of BTC for fees

Tip: If your destination is an exchange, you’ll likely need a destination tag. For personal wallets, tags are generally not required.

How to convert BTC to XRP (step‑by‑step)

1. Open the Swapcherry widget and select BTC → XRP.
2. Paste your XRP address (and destination tag if required) and choose a quote type (fixed or floating).
3. Review the live quote: rate, service fee, network fees, expected XRP.
4. Confirm to get a one‑time BTC deposit address.
5. Send the exact BTC amount within the quote window (RBF recommended).
6. After confirmations, receive XRP automatically to your wallet.

XRP address tips (compatibility and best practice)

• Classic XRP addresses start with r…. Some wallets use X‑addresses that encode the tag.
• If depositing to an exchange, enter the correct destination tag; missing or wrong tags can delay credit.
• For personal wallets, tags are typically not necessary—check your wallet’s guidance.

Bitcoin send tips (important)

• Address formats: Prefer bech32 (bc1…) spends for lower fees.
• RBF: Use Replace‑By‑Fee if your wallet supports it.
• Exactness: Send the exact quoted BTC amount to minimize recalculations.

Fees, confirmations, and timing (plain‑English)

• Fees: You’ll see service and network fees before sending. BTC miner fees vary; XRP network fees are very low.
• Confirmations: Payout starts after required BTC confirmations; then XRP is broadcast to your address.
• Timing: Bitcoin confirmation speed depends on mempool; XRP finality is generally fast under normal conditions.

Fee tips (Bitcoin and XRP)

• On Bitcoin, choose an appropriate fee rate to avoid delays.
• XRP fees are tiny; you don’t set them for the payout leg. Keep a small XRP balance if you plan to activate new accounts or send onward.

Quotes, slippage, and expirations

• Quotes reflect current liquidity; floating quotes can vary with the market.
• If a fixed quote timer expires before your BTC send confirms, request a new quote.

Fixed vs floating rate: which to use?

• Fixed: Locks your rate briefly—ideal when you must receive a specific XRP amount. Requires on‑time sending.
• Floating: Executes at the market rate when BTC arrives—more flexibility; final XRP can vary.

Privacy: minimizing linkability when going BTC → XRP

BTC and XRP are transparent networks. To reduce linkability:

• Use a fresh destination address when possible (or a new tag if your venue supports it).
• Avoid address reuse on BTC inputs and outputs when feasible.
• Split large swaps into several smaller ones spaced over time to reduce correlation.

Anonymity checklist (actionable)

• New receiving address or unique destination tag where supported.
• Prefer bech32 BTC spends.
• Keep wallets updated for accurate fees and compatibility.

Paying the invoice: exact, partial, or overpayments

• Exact: Fastest settlement and least review.
• Underpayment: Small shortfalls may auto‑recalculate; larger ones might pause for manual handling or refund.
• Overpayment: Excess may be refunded or adjusted in your XRP payout, depending on size and settings.

Include your BTC txid if you contact support—it speeds up order lookup.

Refunds and safety

• Refunds, when applicable, are typically returned in BTC to the originating or specified refund address.
• Network fees are deducted; extreme volatility or risk signals can affect refund timing.
• Orders are screened under our AML policy. Review our privacy and terms.

Large swaps: good practice

• Start with a small test swap to validate address and timing.
• Split big transfers into multiple swaps to reduce operational and market risk.
• Avoid major news events or mempool spikes if predictable timing matters.

Explorer checks (what you can and can’t see)

• Bitcoin explorers display inputs/outputs, amount, and confirmations.
• XRP explorers show the payout transaction, destination address, amount, and confirmations.
• If XRP isn’t visible yet, verify the payout on a reputable explorer and refresh/resync your wallet.

Worked example (fixed vs floating)

1. You hold 0.10 BTC and want XRP at a classic address with a tag.
2. Fixed quote: You lock a quote, send exactly 0.10000000 BTC, and receive the quoted XRP if confirmations land in time.
3. Floating quote: You send 0.10000000 BTC without a locked rate; final XRP reflects the market at execution.
4. Exact sending and correct tag entry minimize recalculations and support delays.

Troubleshooting

• XRP hasn’t arrived yet: Confirm BTC confirmations; then check the XRP transaction on an explorer.
• Wrong or missing tag: Contact support with BTC txid and correct tag information for review.
• Expired quote: Generate a fresh quote and resend within the window.
