Your starting balance says USDC. Your destination says Bitcoin. The network labels should say the rest.
To exchange USDC to BTC, review USDC on Ethereum and native BTC on Bitcoin preselected in this form. Check the live ChangeNOW floating-rate quote, enter your Bitcoin receiving address and optionally an Ethereum refund address, confirm the order and send the exact USDC deposit from your wallet.
This is your personal checklist. It does not validate an address, approve a quote or start an exchange.
Useful when you hold USDC and want native Bitcoin in a receiving wallet. Start by identifying the USDC deployment. That single step is more valuable than guessing which of several identical-looking dollar-token entries a provider will use.
USDC exists on several networks, and the ticker alone does not establish the asset you can send. This page starts with USDC on Ethereum. USDC on Base, Arbitrum, Solana or another supported chain needs a different source selection in the exchange form.
The destination is native Bitcoin. That is different from receiving a Bitcoin-linked token on Ethereum. The route briefing deliberately states both deployments because a page about “USDC to BTC” should help you make the actual exchange, not just display two familiar logos around a rate.
Open the wallet or account holding your USDC and identify its network. Then match that source in the exchange form. On some networks there are native and bridged variants with similar names; if the provider lists separate deployments, select the one that matches the balance you actually control.
For a self-custody wallet, an outgoing ERC-20 USDC transfer normally uses ETH for gas. The amount of USDC being exchanged and the ETH fee are different balances. Check that the source wallet can cover the send rather than assuming its dollar-denominated token balance pays every required network fee.
Use a Bitcoin receiving address from the destination wallet or account. If the receiving service lists WBTC or another tokenized representation, that is a different output. The final provider quote should name the same asset and network that the destination service accepts.
| Detail | You send | You receive |
|---|---|---|
| Asset | USD Coin · USDC | Bitcoin · BTC |
| Network | Ethereum · ERC-20 | Bitcoin |
| Asset type | USD-pegged token | Native network asset |
| Native fee asset for an outgoing wallet transfer | ETH | BTC |
The receive-side fee asset matters if you later send funds from that wallet. Your provider’s current route may use additional execution steps.
Only after selecting Base as the source network in the provider and confirming a current route. The briefing’s Ethereum example does not make an Ethereum deposit address compatible with USDC sent from Base.
No. The executable amount depends on the current route, market conditions and provider costs. A dollar peg target does not freeze the price of Bitcoin. Review the receive amount at the time you intend to exchange.
You can optionally provide a compatible return destination. Match any refund details to the source network. If none were provided, use the provider’s support process for a return. A Bitcoin receiving address is not automatically a usable refund address for Ethereum USDC.
ChangeNOW supplies the current floating-rate receive estimate through this form. Your wallet may charge separately for the source transfer. Availability depends on the route and your location; the provider may request identity verification under its procedures. Review the actual order details, any stated deposit deadline and its terms before sending.
Route quote checked: . A read-only ChangeNOW standard floating-rate quote was obtained for 100 USDC on the exact networks described here. No order was created or funded in that check. A dated quote does not guarantee a current quote for every amount or location.
Read the named spot markets and their limits before comparing them with the provider's receive amount.
