How to send BTC on Ethereum
- Ask the receiver for a BTC address on Ethereum (ERC-20) and check the network name on their deposit page matches. BTC on another network is a different token and a deposit on the wrong one is usually lost.
- On the exchange choose BTC, then network ERC-20; the form shows the fee and minimum. Right now the enabled rails are Binance ($0.792).
- Paste the address, send a small test amount first if the sum is large, and wait for the receiver to credit it.
- Paste the address into the address check to confirm it belongs to Ethereum before confirming; then use the route planner if you want every rail ranked for your amount.

Questions
- Why does the BTC fee on Ethereum change?
- We do not read Ethereum's fee market directly, so the only figures here are what exchanges charge to withdraw. Those are set by the exchange, usually as a flat amount of BTC, and change without notice; we re-read them every 10 minutes.
- What is the minimum BTC withdrawal on ERC-20?
- Right now: Binance 0.000019 BTC. Below the minimum the exchange refuses the withdrawal; at or just above it the flat fee is a large share of what arrives ($0.792 of a 0.000019 BTC withdrawal at Binance).
- Is Ethereum the cheapest network to send BTC right now?
- No. BNB Smart Chain is cheapest right now at $0.023 total; Ethereum is $0.792, rank 2 of 4. Cheapest only matters if the receiver accepts BTC on that network.
