ETH to BTC with an average swap size of $25K — traders consolidating into Bitcoin. This pair runs through Chainflip's deep ETH-BTC pool with JIT AMM pricing and optional Boost for faster execution.
Best Protocol for This Pair
Chainflip is typically the best route for ETH→BTC due to direct pool routing (no intermediate token). THORChain routes through RUNE which adds one hop. For large amounts, Chainflip DCA gives 0.1-0.3% better execution than a single swap.
Tip: ETH deposits confirm faster than BTC (~12 seconds vs ~10 minutes), so ETH→BTC swaps are quicker on the deposit side. The wait is on the BTC withdrawal. Boost doesn't apply here since you're depositing ETH, not BTC.
