NETWORK-AWARE SWAP GUIDE
Exchange BTC to USDT with Guarda
Quick answer: enter the BTC amount, compare the provider's final USDT quote, send only on Bitcoin, and verify that the receiving address supports provider-selected USDT network. 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 USDT
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
USDT exists on several networks. The selected network must match the receiving address and the provider withdrawal network exactly.
Allow for settlement
Bitcoin settlement depends on miner fees and block confirmations. USDT timing depends on the selected blockchain, so network selection must be checked twice.
What changes the BTC to USDT result?
The reference rate moves with both Bitcoin and Tether. The amount delivered can also change because of the provider spread, liquidity, the Bitcoin sending fee, the provider-selected USDT network 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.
USDT risk: USDT aims to track the US dollar but is not a bank deposit. It carries issuer, reserve, regulatory and temporary depeg risk.

BTC to USDT — FAQ
Bitcoin settlement depends on miner fees and block confirmations. The receiving provider-selected USDT network 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 USDT on provider-selected USDT network. Never choose a network only because the ticker looks familiar.
The exchange provider should issue an order or transaction identifier. Keep it until the USDT transfer reaches your wallet and verify the result on the appropriate block explorer.
