What affects crypto swap rates
The main factors that move a swap quote, from market price shifts to route and network choice.
A crypto swap rate can change between one check and the next because prices move, routes change, and network conditions are different from moment to moment.
The biggest rate factors
- Market price movement while you review the route.
- The network you choose for the payout asset.
- Route availability at the moment you continue.
What the quote does and does not cover
Stable assets can still show a different final amount when the sending asset is moving quickly or the route changes to keep the swap available.
It is also important to separate the swap quote from wallet and network costs. Those outside costs depend on the wallets and chains involved.
FAQ
Why can a swap rate change?
Rates can move because the market price changes, route availability changes, or you select a different sending or receiving network.
Are wallet and network costs included in the rate?
The quote covers the swap itself, but wallet and network costs are separate outside charges.
