How to Swap BNB to ETH

Updated: November 2026

You can swap BNB for ETH in a wallet, on an exchange or through a bridge. Before you start, decide which ETH you want: native ETH on the Ethereum network, or a pegged ETH token on BNB Smart Chain. They look similar in a wallet, but they’re different assets on different networks.

Quick answer: if you need ETH for Ethereum apps or to send to an Ethereum address, swap or bridge BNB to ETH on Ethereum. If you only want ETH exposure while staying on BNB Smart Chain, a swap on BSC gives you Binance-Peg ETH (BEP-20). Compare the final amount you’ll receive and send a small test first.

BNB to ETH Rate Today

On November 3, 2026, BNB traded at about $697.70 and ETH at about $2,287.63, so 1 BNB ≈ 0.305 ETH and 1 ETH ≈ 3.28 BNB (CoinGecko: BNB, CoinGecko: Ethereum).

Calculated from CoinGecko prices on November 3, 2026, before fees.

Which ETH Do You Want?

  • ETH on Ethereum: the native coin of Ethereum. You need it for gas on Ethereum and for Ethereum apps such as Uniswap, Aave or Lido.
  • Binance-Peg ETH on BNB Smart Chain: a BEP-20 token that represents ETH on BSC. CoinGecko lists it as “Binance-Peg WETH” with the contract 0x2170ed0880ac9a755fd29b2688956bd959f933f8 (CoinGecko). It can’t pay gas on Ethereum.

Both live at the same 0x… address format, so check the network in your wallet, not just the token name.

Swap vs Transfer: Can You "Send" BNB as ETH?

No. BNB and ETH are different coins on different networks. Sending BNB to an Ethereum address on the wrong network doesn’t convert it. You need to swap (exchange one asset for another) or bridge (move value from BNB Smart Chain to Ethereum).

How to Swap BNB to ETH

Option 1: In a self-custody wallet

  1. Open BNB on BNB Smart Chain and tap Swap.
  2. Choose ETH and check the network: Ethereum for native ETH, or BNB Smart Chain for Binance-Peg ETH.
  3. Review the quote: ETH received, BNB gas fee and provider fee.
  4. Confirm.

Option 2: Through a bridge

Bridges move value from BNB Smart Chain to Ethereum. BNB Chain lists cross-chain routes on its official BNB Chain Bridge page, and route limits apply to the amount you send. Cross-chain aggregators such as Symbiosis also offer BNB Chain to Ethereum routes (Symbiosis). Always open bridges from official links. Fake bridge sites are common.

Option 3: On a centralized exchange

  1. Deposit BNB to an exchange that lists the BNB/ETH pair. Binance, for example, has a BNB/ETH market (CoinGecko). Availability depends on your country.
  2. Sell BNB for ETH.
  3. Withdraw ETH on the Ethereum (ERC-20) network if you need native ETH.

You’ll need a verified account (KYC), and the exchange holds your funds until you withdraw.

Option 4: With an instant swap service

Choose BNB (BSC) as “You send” and ETH on Ethereum as “You get”, enter your Ethereum address, send BNB and wait for ETH. The rate includes the service’s fee, and services can ask for verification or hold transactions flagged by their AML checks.

Fees and Timing

  • BNB Smart Chain side: you pay gas in BNB to swap or bridge. BNB is BSC’s gas token (BNB Chain).
  • Ethereum side: to move native ETH later, you pay gas in ETH. A same-chain swap on BSC doesn’t give you ETH for Ethereum gas.
  • Provider fee or spread: compare the final ETH amount across options.
  • Timing: a same-chain swap on BSC takes moments. Bridges and cross-chain swaps depend on the provider and confirmations.

Swapping Back: ETH to BNB

Reverse the steps. On Ethereum, pay gas in ETH and choose BNB on BNB Smart Chain as the asset you receive. Keep a little BNB for future BSC gas.

Safety Checklist

  • Check the network of the ETH you receive: Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain.
  • Use official links for bridges and swap sites.
  • Send a small test amount the first time you use a route.
  • Review token approvals before signing, and revoke ones you no longer need.
  • Taxes: in many countries, swapping BNB to ETH is a taxable event.
