Exchange Tether Arbitrum (USDT, ARB) to Tether ERC20 (USDT, ERC20)

This pair moves USDT from the Arbitrum One rollup to the Ethereum mainnet (ERC20). Both sides are the same Tether stablecoin, but the underlying network changes — you switch from a low-fee Layer 2 to the base Ethereum chain. Minimum amount is 10,000 USDT, maximum is 2,000,000 USDT. Current reserve of USDT ERC20 on CryptoChicken: 22,686,136.15 USDT, enough to cover large orders without splitting.

Network fees and speed

Arbitrum transfers settle in seconds with fees typically below $0.10 per transaction. ERC20 withdrawals on Ethereum mainnet cost noticeably more — usually several dollars to tens of dollars in gas, depending on current network load. Confirmation on Ethereum normally takes 1–3 minutes once included in a block.

When this swap makes sense

Use this direction when you need USDT on Ethereum for CEX deposits, DeFi protocols, or counterparties that don't support Arbitrum. Double-check the destination address — sending ERC20 USDT to an Arbitrum-only address will result in lost funds.
