Using Crypto for Escrow Payments: BTC, ETH, USDT Explained

All three are accepted at Escrows Click. Which you choose affects fees, settlement time, and how predictable the amount the seller actually receives will be.

USDT (Tether) — recommended for most deals#

• Dollar-pegged: $1,000 sent = $1,000 received. No volatility between funding and release.
• TRC20 (Tron) network: ~$1 fee, 1–3 minute settlement. The cheapest and fastest option.
• ERC20 (Ethereum): higher fees ($3–$30), 1–5 minute settlement. Use only if your wallet doesn't support TRC20.
• BEP20 (BNB Chain): ~$0.30 fee, fast settlement. Good if you already hold funds on Binance.

BTC — for larger deals or BTC-native traders#

• Highest network security, widely held.
• Fees vary ($1–$15) and confirmation takes 10–30 minutes.
• Price can move 2–5% between funding and release — agree the BTC amount or the USD amount up front and stick to it.

ETH#

• Accepted for ETH-native deals (NFTs, on-chain assets).
• Same volatility caveat as BTC.
• Gas fees can spike — check current network conditions before sending.
