Bitcoin to Tether ERC-20 Exchange Rates
Bitcoin uses SHA-256 proof of work and targets a 600 s average block interval, giving two confirmations an estimated 20 min latency with variable block arrivals. USDT-ERC20 runs on Ethereum's proof-of-stake network with 12 s slots, giving 12 confirmations a nominal 144 s latency; missed slots can increase this, and this threshold is not protocol finality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does BTC to USDT-ERC20 take?
For sequential confirmation stages, BTC requires a nominal 2 × 600 s = 1,200 s (20 min), and Ethereum requires 12 × 12 s = 144 s (2 min 24 s), totaling 1,344 s (22 min 24 s). The stated typical settlement ranges add to 20–35 min: 15–25 min for BTC plus 5–10 min for Ethereum. These are estimates, not guaranteed deadlines; transaction inclusion and routing or processing delays affect completion.
What network fees apply to this swap?
The BTC deposit sender pays a miner fee in BTC, determined by transaction virtual size and the selected fee rate in sat/vB. The Ethereum payout sender pays gas in ETH for the USDT ERC-20 transfer: gas used × effective gas price, with EIP-1559 pricing comprising the base fee and effective priority fee. Both costs vary with network demand, and ERC-20 gas usage depends on contract execution. Provider service fees are separate from network fees; a provider may recover payout gas costs through a deduction from the quoted USDT amount.
