'''Warning:''' Using native BTC is still in beta and it might not be possible to do much with BTC in the DeFiWallet! Try out first if you can really do what you plan to do (receiving, swapping, sending ...). If you need to get BTC out of the app and sending doesn't work, you can use the following work around:

You can use the BTC private key in Electrum to sweep the coins to an Electrum wallet as follows:

#Create a new standard wallet -> https://bitcoinelectrum.com/creating-an-electrum-wallet/
#Sweep the BTC private key that you got from the command <code>spv_dumpprivkey</code> by selecting "Wallet - Private Keys - Sweep" in the menu. You have to prepend the key with <code>p2wpkh:</code> since the originating address is a SegWit Bech32 format. More information can be found here: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/sweeping-your-private-keys-into-electrum/. Example:
