NETWORK-AWARE SWAP GUIDE
Exchange BTC to XRP with Guarda
Quick answer: enter the BTC amount, compare the provider's final XRP quote, send only on Bitcoin, and verify that the receiving address supports XRP Ledger. Your recovery phrase is never an exchange input.
The live calculation uses CoinGecko spot-market references and is not an executable offer. The selected provider determines the spread, minimum, maximum, compliance checks and confirmation threshold.
Before swapping BTC to XRP
Check the sending side
Use the Bitcoin network and verify the first and last characters of the receiving address. Do not send BTC to a Lightning invoice unless the provider explicitly supports Lightning.
Check the receiving side
Use XRP Ledger. A personal self-custody address usually does not need a destination tag, while a custodial service often does; verify the recipient instructions.
Allow for settlement
Bitcoin settlement depends on miner fees and block confirmations. XRP Ledger settles quickly, but a custodial destination may require a destination tag.
What changes the BTC to XRP result?
The reference rate moves with both Bitcoin and XRP. The amount delivered can also change because of the provider spread, liquidity, the Bitcoin sending fee, the XRP Ledger receiving conditions and price movement before the order is locked.
BTC risk: Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. Network fees and confirmation times rise when block space is busy.
XRP risk: XRP is volatile. Sending without a required destination tag can delay or prevent credit by a custodial recipient.

BTC to XRP — FAQ
Bitcoin settlement depends on miner fees and block confirmations. The receiving XRP Ledger must then reach the confirmation threshold shown by the provider, so there is no guaranteed fixed duration.
A self-custody wallet does not require a custodial exchange account. The integrated exchange provider can still request checks when required by risk controls or local rules.
Compare the provider spread, the sending-network fee and any receiving-network cost shown in the binding quote. The CoinGecko calculation on this page is only a market reference.
Send native BTC on Bitcoin and confirm that the destination accepts native XRP on XRP Ledger. Never choose a network only because the ticker looks familiar.
The exchange provider should issue an order or transaction identifier. Keep it until the XRP transfer reaches your wallet and verify the result on the appropriate block explorer.
