    Exchange in 3 steps

    1. Choose how much BTC to send and enter a Monero mainnet receive address — a fresh subaddress is recommended.

    2. Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and BTC deposit address.

    3. Send BTC on Bitcoin mainnet — after confirmation, XMR is paid out to your wallet automatically.

    What do you need to know?

    • One Bitcoin confirmation is usually enough before the XMR payout leg starts.
    • Use a SegWit (bc1…) BTC send address if your wallet supports it — lower fees and faster inclusion.
    • Use a fresh Monero subaddress for each swap. Avoid reusing old XMR receive addresses.
    • XMR not visible yet? Allow your Monero wallet time to sync — incoming outputs can take several minutes to appear.

    Bitcoin — the original digital asset

    Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.

    Before you send BTC

    • Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
    • Leave enough for a network fee — low fees mean slower confirmation.
    • Send only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the address on your order page.

    How long until Bitcoin confirms?

    Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.

    • Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
    • Explorers show queue position — compare against pending transaction volume.
    • Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.

    Why traders move BTC to other chains

    Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition — many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.

    Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.

    You receive

    Monero — private by default

    Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and addresses stay confidential on-chain.

    XMR not visible yet?

    Wait for wallet sync to complete — Monero often needs several minutes to reflect incoming outputs.

    If the order lists a payout tx but your synced wallet shows nothing, contact support.

    Receiving XMR privately

    Monero payouts use one-time addresses — your wallet must finish scanning recent blocks to display the balance.

    • Use a fresh subaddress for each swap rather than reusing old receive addresses.
    • Compare your wallet block height with a public explorer before assuming a payout failed.
    • Allow extra time after the order shows sent — privacy features can delay wallet display.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need KYC to swap BTC to XMR?

    No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Bitcoin to Monero swaps.

    Why swap BTC to XMR for privacy?

    Bitcoin is transparent on-chain; Monero uses default privacy features. Many users bridge BTC into XMR before holding or spending privately — always use a fresh Monero subaddress for each swap.

    How long does BTC to XMR take?

    Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Bitcoin usually needs one confirmation; Monero payout may take a few minutes to appear after your wallet syncs.

    What address format should I use for XMR?

    Use a Monero mainnet subaddress your wallet generates. SegWit (bc1…) BTC sends are recommended on the deposit side when your wallet supports them.
