Route

Bridge Bitcoin to XRP, no account needed

Swap BTC to XRP without an account or KYC

Bitcoin isn't an EVM chain, so nothing here can be signed from a connected wallet — which is exactly why most bridge aggregators can't route this pair at all. You send BTC to an address we give you, and XRP arrives on XRP Ledger at the address you chose. No account, no signature, no wallet.

Sending Bitcoin for XRP, step by step

  1. 01

    Enter how much BTC you're sending and paste the XRP Ledger address where you want the XRP to land. Check it twice — an on-chain transfer is final.

  2. 02

    Read the receipt. It shows the total cost as a dollar figure and a percentage, and it always equals what you send minus what you receive.

  3. 03

    Send your BTC to the deposit address. Track it on this site, and verify the delivery yourself on the XRP Ledger explorer.

Q&A

Bitcoin to XRP, answered

Can I bridge Bitcoin to XRP without an account?

Yes. There's no sign-up, no email and no identity check. All we need is the XRP Ledger address you want the XRP sent to. A recovery key is generated locally so you can find this transfer again later — it controls no funds and you can ignore it.

Do I need to pass KYC to bridge Bitcoin to XRP?

No. There is no identity check on this route, because there is no account to attach one to. No email, no phone, no document. That is not the same as being anonymous. Your Bitcoin deposit and the XRP Ledger delivery are both permanent public records that anyone can read. We collect no identity. The chains still publish the transaction.

Do I need to connect a wallet to bridge Bitcoin to XRP?

No, and you couldn't if you wanted to: Bitcoin has no EVM to sign against, so this transfer works by sending BTC to a deposit address from wherever you already hold it — your own wallet, an exchange, a hardware device. That's precisely why this pair works here and doesn't on wallet-first aggregators.

How long does a Bitcoin to XRP transfer take?

The median across all pairs is 27s, measured from transfers that actually settled. This particular pair depends on how fast Bitcoin confirms your deposit — the form shows a live estimate for the route you pick before you commit to anything.

What does it cost to bridge Bitcoin to XRP?

You see the exact figure before you send, not after. The receipt lists the router's fee, gas on XRP Ledger, and our own fee where we take one, then a total in dollars and as a percentage of what you're sending. That total is always what you send minus what you receive, so you can verify it against the two amounts yourself.

Is the Bitcoin to XRP bridge non-custodial?

Yes. BlockSquad never takes possession of your funds and executes no transfer itself. Your BTC goes to the router's deposit address and the XRP is delivered to the XRP Ledger address you named — both are on-chain transactions you can verify yourself. There is no BlockSquad balance to withdraw from, which is also why there is nothing for us to freeze.
