MoneroEx

Swap Bitcoin Cash to Monero

Exchange BCH for XMR straight to your Monero wallet. Account-free standard flow, non-custodial, no registration for standard swaps.

How This Pair Works

A BCH to XMR swap begins when you send Bitcoin Cash from a self-custodied wallet. After Bitcoin Cash confirms the deposit, MoneroEx routes the exchange and delivers native Monero straight to your wallet, with no registration required for standard transactions.

Why Swap Bitcoin Cash to Monero?

Because Bitcoin Cash is fully transparent, Bitcoin Cash — a Bitcoin fork focused on low-fee payments — leaves a traceable trail of addresses and balances. Some users swap BCH to XMR to regain financial privacy that a transparent chain cannot offer on its own.

Privacy Notes

The BCH side of your swap is recorded on the Bitcoin Cash network and remains visible to blockchain-analytics tools; MoneroEx does not control what that network exposes. Once XMR is delivered, Monero's protocol-level privacy applies. MoneroEx collects only the data needed to process the swap and meet any applicable legal obligations, and verification may be required in limited risk cases.

Step-by-Step Process

  1. 1

    Select BCH to XMR and enter the amount

    Choose Bitcoin Cash as the source currency and Monero as the destination, then enter how much BCH you want to swap. The interface shows the estimated XMR you will receive at the current rate.

  2. 2

    Enter your Monero destination address

    Paste your XMR wallet address into the destination field. A standard Monero address starts with 4 and is 95 characters long; verify the full string carefully, as transactions sent to the wrong address cannot be reversed.

  3. 3

    Send BCH to the deposit address

    After you confirm the details, you receive a Bitcoin Cash deposit address (starts with bitcoincash: or q). Send the exact BCH amount shown from your own wallet; sending a different amount may affect the rate or require review.

  4. 4

    Receive XMR in your wallet

    Once your Bitcoin Cash transaction reaches about 6 confirmation(s) on Bitcoin Cash, MoneroEx executes the swap and sends XMR to your address. Track progress with your unique swap ID.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Checking only the first and last characters of the 95-character XMR address instead of the full string
  • Copying the destination address from chat, email, or browser history rather than directly from your Monero wallet
  • Sending BCH from a custodial account that may delay withdrawal or block external Bitcoin Cash transfers
  • Expecting instant settlement and underestimating Bitcoin Cash confirmation times during network congestion
  • Closing the status page before the swap confirms and losing track of the swap ID
