Swap WBTC from Ethereum to USDC on Avalanche C-Chain

Swap WBTC from Ethereum to USDC on Avalanche C-Chain. You send WBTC, an Ethereum token, and you receive Circle USDC on Avalanche C-Chain.

WBTC at 0x2260FAC5E5542a773Aa44fBCfeDf7C193bc2C599 is not bitcoin on the Bitcoin network. Etherscan shows it as an ERC-20, and you approve that contract before it can move. Ethereum is chain id 1, gas is ETH, and blocks are about 12 seconds. Circle USDC on C-Chain is 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E. Match the full address on Snowtrace. Chain id 43114. Gas after that is AVAX.

WBTC leaves Ethereum. USDC is what can arrive on Avalanche C-Chain.

WBTC never leaves onto Bitcoin

This route cannot pay a Bitcoin address, and it cannot accept a Bitcoin deposit. The input is the Ethereum contract 0x2260FAC5E5542a773Aa44fBCfeDf7C193bc2C599 only. If your coins are still on the Bitcoin chain, this page is the wrong tool until they are WBTC on Ethereum. You also need ETH for gas. WBTC itself does not pay Ethereum fees.

Circle's USDC, checked on Snowtrace

The payout contract is 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E. That is Circle USDC on Avalanche C-Chain, not Tether, and not the USDC contract on Ethereum. Snowtrace is the explorer to use. A similar ticker on a bridged copy is not automatically this route. USDC will not pay C-Chain fees, so the destination wallet needs AVAX once you want to move the dollars.

Skip it if you need AVAX, Tether, or a Bitcoin payment

AVAX and USDT are different pages. A Bitcoin invoice is not a page on this site at all. Selling WBTC for USDC on Ethereum is the better fit when you never needed C-Chain. The bridge is only justified by a balance you want on Avalanche. How bridging works is worth reading before you move a large WBTC lot. The quote does not lock the USDC amount.

Eight-decimal WBTC and the minimum dollars

WBTC uses eight decimals. Do not compare its raw integer with a USDC integer and call that a price. Read the human amounts on the quote, then read the minimum USDC under them. ETH gas is a separate cost and can be high on chain id 1. Sign from the wallet that holds the WBTC. If the minimum dollars are too few for the bitcoin exposure you are selling, do not sign.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap WBTC from Ethereum to USDC on Avalanche C-Chain?

WBTC at 0x2260FAC5E5542a773Aa44fBCfeDf7C193bc2C599 is not bitcoin on the Bitcoin network. Etherscan shows it as an ERC-20, and you approve that contract before it can move.

Can I paste a Bitcoin address as the destination?

No. The destination is an Avalanche C-Chain address that will hold Circle USDC at 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E. A Bitcoin address cannot receive that token. WBTC on the way in is 0x2260FAC5E5542a773Aa44fBCfeDf7C193bc2C599 on Ethereum, which you confirm on Etherscan, not in a Bitcoin wallet.

Does this redeem WBTC for coins on the Bitcoin chain?

No. Redemption of WBTC, if you use the issuer's own process, is not this route. This page sells the Ethereum token and delivers Circle USDC on Avalanche C-Chain. Snowtrace is where that USDC should appear. You still need AVAX to spend it.

What if the wallet holds a bitcoin ticker that is not this contract?

Do not send it here. Only 0x2260FAC5E5542a773Aa44fBCfeDf7C193bc2C599 is the WBTC this page takes. Other tickers can copy the name. Check the full contract on Etherscan before you approve anything. An approval of the wrong token does not start this swap.
