Swap USDT to Monero
Convert Tether to XMR with no account required for standard swaps. Non-custodial and direct to your Monero wallet.
How This Pair Works
Select USDT as your source currency and Monero as your destination. Choose the network on which you hold USDT (such as TRC-20 or ERC-20), enter the amount, and provide your XMR wallet address. MoneroEx provides a USDT deposit address. After your deposit is confirmed, XMR is sent to your Monero wallet. No registration is required for standard transactions.
Why Swap Tether USDT to Monero?
Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin that exists on public blockchains including Ethereum and Tron. All USDT transactions are permanently visible on-chain and are additionally subject to Tether's own centralized oversight, including the ability to freeze addresses. Users who wish to move out of this surveillance environment and into a private, decentralized asset may choose to convert USDT to Monero.
Privacy Notes
Step-by-Step Process
- 1
Select USDT to XMR, choose network, and enter amount
Choose Tether USDT as the source currency. Select the correct network (for example, TRC-20 or ERC-20) that matches where your USDT is held. Enter the amount you wish to swap.
- 2
Provide your Monero destination address
Enter your full XMR wallet address. Verify every character before proceeding. Monero transactions are irreversible, and errors in the destination address will result in permanent loss of funds.
- 3
Send USDT to the deposit address on the correct network
Send USDT from your own wallet to the deposit address provided, using the same network you selected in step one. Sending USDT on the wrong network will result in funds that cannot be recovered.
- 4
Receive XMR in your Monero wallet
After the required confirmations on the USDT network, your swap will process and XMR will arrive in your destination wallet. Use your swap ID to monitor progress.
