How to swap BTC to XMR
Bitcoin is easy to buy; Monero keeps amounts and counterparties private on-chain. Anonymous Swap lets you exchange BTC → XMR wallet-to-wallet with no registration, no KYC, and no AML screening.
What you need
A Bitcoin wallet that can send the exact deposit amount, plus a Monero address you control for the payout. You do not need an email or phone number.
- BTC balance above the $40 USD minimum (and under $900,000)
- Your XMR receive address ready before you create the order
- A few confirmations of patience while Bitcoin settles
Step-by-step
On Anonymous Swap, select BTC to send and XMR to receive, enter your Monero address and amount, then create the order. Send the exact BTC amount shown to the one-time deposit address. After Bitcoin confirms, the exchange pays XMR to your wallet.
Timing tips
Bitcoin confirmation time usually dominates the wait. Once the deposit confirms, exchange and Monero payout are typically quick. Plan for roughly 5–20+ minutes depending on mempool conditions.
