Does any exchange site let me automatically sell Bitcoin to USDT (or USD) right after I receive it?

I want to sell Bitcoin automatically and immediately after I receive it.

Is there any exchange site has this feature?

I expect that any exchange will require that deposit transactions (i.e. sent from the global Bitcoin network, not from another account within the exchange) have to be confirmed before the coins can be sold or traded. Otherwise, the exchange is vulnerable to double-spend attacks where a customer deposits coins, sells them, withdraws the cash, and then reverses the deposit transaction.

A common requirement is 6 confirmations, meaning that you will have to wait until your transaction is included in a block (which takes at least about 10 minutes on average, longer if the transaction fee you paid is too low) plus an additional 50 minutes on average.

So the answer is no, you should not expect to be able to sell Bitcoin immediately after you receive it.

This doesn't address the question of whether you can sell immediately.Nate Eldredge 2018-07-31T21:18:31.247

How so? Have you ever used any of the platforms above? Localbitcoins is like craigslist. You get the money within minutes. Maybe immediately for you is within seconds?Marc Alexander 2018-08-01T18:08:39.187
