Understanding Crypto Exchange Rates
Cryptocurrency exchange rates are determined by supply and demand across global exchanges. Unlike traditional forex markets that operate on weekday business hours, crypto markets trade 24/7/365. This means rates can shift at any time, including weekends and holidays.
The rate you see in this converter reflects the aggregate spot price across major exchanges. The actual rate you receive when buying or selling will differ slightly depending on: the exchange you use, the size of your order, current liquidity, and any fees or spread applied by the platform.
For stablecoins like USDC and USDT, the conversion rate to USD should be very close to 1:1. Small deviations (typically less than 0.1%) can occur during periods of high market volatility or low liquidity. If you see a stablecoin trading significantly away from $1.00, it may indicate market stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do the exchange rates update?
Rates are fetched from CoinGecko every 60 seconds. CoinGecko aggregates price data from hundreds of exchanges worldwide. The green dot next to the rate indicates a live connection; a yellow dot means the converter is using a cached or estimated rate.
Why does the rate I get on an exchange differ from this converter?
This converter shows the aggregate spot price across global exchanges. The price you receive on a specific exchange depends on that platform's order book depth, trading fees (typically 0.1%-1.5%), and the spread between buy and sell prices. For large orders, slippage can also cause the execution price to differ from the quoted rate.
Can I convert crypto to fiat directly?
This tool shows the equivalent value, not an actual exchange service. To convert crypto to fiat currency, you need a cryptocurrency exchange that supports withdrawals in your local currency. The process typically involves: depositing your crypto, selling it on the exchange, and withdrawing fiat to your bank account. Processing times range from instant to 3 business days depending on the exchange and payment method.
Which stablecoin should I use for cross-border transfers?
USDC and USDT are the two most widely supported stablecoins for transfers. USDC offers stronger regulatory compliance and monthly reserve attestations from Deloitte. USDT has deeper liquidity and wider exchange support, especially in Asian markets. For detailed comparison, see our USDC vs USDT tool.
Are there fees for using this converter?
No. This converter is completely free. It displays informational exchange rates and does not process any transactions. Fees only apply when you actually buy, sell, or transfer cryptocurrency through an exchange or wallet service.
What is the difference between spot price and the price I pay?
The spot price is the current market price at which an asset was last traded. When you place an order on an exchange, you may pay slightly more (when buying) or receive slightly less (when selling) than the spot price. This difference is called the spread, and it exists because market makers need to profit from facilitating trades. The spread is typically smallest for high-volume pairs like BTC/USD and widest for low-liquidity pairs.
How do stablecoin rates work?
Stablecoins like USDC and USDT are designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US dollar. When converting a stablecoin to a non-USD fiat currency (like EUR or INR), the rate primarily reflects the USD foreign exchange rate for that currency, with minor variations from the stablecoin's market price. For example, 1 USDC to EUR will be very close to the prevailing USD/EUR forex rate.
