About Bitcoin

Because Bitcoin sits on a single proof-of-work chain with no ERC-20, TRC-20 or BEP-20 token-standard variants, a swap into it never raises the network-choice question that stablecoin transfers routinely do; the only variable left in the trade is which asset, and at what proof-of-stake or proof-of-work chain, you are moving out of.

Bitcoin (BTC) runs on the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin has only one network, so there is no network choice to make — unlike tokens issued on several chains.
