RUNE to BTC: questions and answers
How do I swap RUNE to BTC without KYC?
Enter the RUNE amount on this page, paste your BTC address and send your RUNE to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The BTC is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the RUNE to BTC exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 RUNE ≈ 0.000008038 BTC (the best of 8 offers for 500 RUNE). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
What are the minimum and maximum for RUNE to BTC?
The minimum is about 8.26 RUNE and the maximum about 2,581,142 RUNE. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a RUNE to BTC swap take?
Usually around 10 min. Most of that is waiting for your RUNE deposit to confirm on THORChain, which takes a few seconds. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping RUNE to BTC anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both THORChain and Bitcoin are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Which BTC address should I use?
Your BTC is paid on Bitcoin. Use an address that starts with bc1, 1 or 3. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the RUNE to BTC rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Bitcoin network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own THORChain network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap BTC back to RUNE?
Yes. The reverse direction, BTC to RUNE, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
