Ive used ChangeNOW Godex and SimpleSwap in the past few years but lately things dont seem right. More slippage unclear fee breakdowns and strange delays even though the sites say exchanges will happen instantly. I just tried to trade BTC for USDC and I got a lot less than I thought I would even after paying the network fees. Is it just the market going up and down or are these platforms getting harder to understand?
Has anyone else seen this pattern? Or am I just bad at timing?
What are your favorite swap services that are still quick and dependable in the middle of 2025? Are there any hidden gems that no one is talking about yet?
I have used Exodus wallet built in swap feature and while the experience was good the costs were very high.
The fees for swapping BTC to USDT was very high and when I enquired about it they said that it was because of the 2.3% spread and 0.11% slippage.
So may be it could be the timing at times but in general, swap services do cost a little higher.
