Understand the numbers
This converter estimates the value of one supported cryptocurrency or fiat currency in another using the latest available market price retrieved by the tool. It is designed for quick comparisons, scenario planning and checking approximate exchange values before you trade.
Calculation method
For crypto-to-fiat conversions, the tool multiplies the amount by the selected asset price. For crypto-to-crypto conversions, it compares the two assets through a common market value so you can see the implied cross-rate.
Example
Example: entering 1,000 XRP and selecting USD returns an estimated U.S. dollar value based on the price available when the calculation runs. Changing the destination to XLM instead shows the estimated amount of XLM represented by the same XRP value.
Useful checks
- Use the swap control to reverse a pair quickly.
- Treat the displayed rate as an estimate, not an executable exchange quote.
- Actual trade results can differ because of spreads, fees, liquidity and price movement.
