Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much USDT to send and enter your Monero address on Monero mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer USDT to the address on your order — after confirmations, XMR is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- TRC-20 USDT confirms quickly on Tron — usually within a minute or two.
- Never send USDT on the wrong network. TRC-20, ERC-20, and other variants are not interchangeable.
- Keep a small TRX balance in your wallet to pay Tron energy/bandwidth for TRC-20 sends.
- XMR not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers — always match the correct chain (TRC-20, ERC-20, etc.).
USDT network mismatch
The most common error is sending ERC-20 USDT to a TRC-20 address or vice versa.
Double-check the network badge on your order before sending.
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 USDT to XMR?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Tether to Monero swaps.
How long does USDT to XMR take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on TRC-20 on Tron and Monero mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is USDT to XMR non-custodial?
Yes. You send USDT from your wallet and receive XMR directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send USDT on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (TRC-20 on Tron for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
