BTC to ETH is a same-chain swap

Why people swap BTC for ETH
BTC and ETH are both layer-1 blockchain assets, so this swap is a rotation within the same category rather than a change in the kind of risk you are holding. People do it to back a different network or protocol with the same capital. You stay in self-custody throughout — what changes is which project you are exposed to, not who controls the keys.
What Bitcoin and Ethereum actually are
Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Created in 2009, it serves as digital gold and a decentralized store of value. Buy Bitcoin with ChainATM using a simple text or voice command, straight into your self-custody wallet.
Ethereum (ETH): Ethereum is the leading smart contract platform powering DeFi, NFTs, and thousands of decentralized applications. ETH is used to pay for transactions across the Ethereum ecosystem. Buy Ethereum instantly with ChainATM. Just type "Buy ETH" and the AI handles the rest.
What to watch on this pair
- Because both tokens live on Ethereum, this settles as a single on-chain swap. You pay one set of Ethereum gas fees and there is no bridging delay or bridge risk.
- The rate you see quoted is an estimate until the transaction settles. ChainATM shows the expected output and total cost before anything executes, and nothing moves until you approve it.

How do I convert BTC to ETH?
Converting, exchanging, changing, switching and trading BTC for ETH all describe the same operation: a swap. Open ChainATM and say "Convert my BTC to ETH". The AI finds the route, shows the rate and estimated output, and waits for your approval before anything executes.
Can you swap BTC for ETH directly?
Yes. You do not need to sell BTC for cash first and buy ETH afterwards. ChainATM routes the swap in one step, including across chains, and the ETH lands in your own wallet.
Where can I swap BTC to ETH?
In ChainATM, at app.chain-atm.com or in the iOS app. Because it is self-custody, your BTC never sits in an exchange account waiting to be withdrawn: the swap happens from your own wallet and the ETH arrives in it.
Can I transfer BTC to ETH?
Not as a transfer, and the distinction matters. A transfer moves the same asset between addresses. BTC and ETH are different assets, so what you need is a swap, which exchanges one for the other. Sending BTC to an address that expects ETH can lose the funds permanently.
