BCH → BTC: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin you don’t need to sell for dollars first and then buy again. ROVEN exchange does it in one step: one order, one rate, one payout.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a 2017 fork of Bitcoin with bigger blocks and fees of a fraction of a cent. Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and largest cryptocurrency, with a capped supply of 21 million coins.
Why swap BCH for BTC
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding BTC makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Bitcoin ecosystem. Bitcoin is most often bought for long-term holding as “digital gold”.
Networks and addresses
| You send BCH | You receive BTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Bitcoin Cash | Bitcoin |
| Address | “q…” or “bitcoincash:q…” | “bc1…”, “1…” or “3…” |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Don’t send BCH from a Bitcoin wallet or vice versa — they’re different networks.
- A Bitcoin address starts with “bc1”, “1” or “3” — don’t confuse it with a Bitcoin Cash address.
- Send the exact amount from the order and do it within 30 minutes, while the locked rate is valid.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Bitcoin Cash, a block comes roughly every 10 minutes; on Bitcoin, a block comes roughly every 10 minutes. The whole BCH to BTC swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 BTC = 249.393535 BCH and the minimum amount is 0.066667 BCH. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
