Swap Monero to Bitcoin

Convert XMR to BTC directly to your Bitcoin wallet. Account-free for standard swaps. Non-custodial by design.

How This Pair Works

Select Monero as your source currency and Bitcoin as your destination. Enter the XMR amount you wish to swap and provide a Bitcoin destination address. MoneroEx generates a Monero deposit address. After your XMR deposit is confirmed on the Monero network, BTC is sent to the Bitcoin address you specified. No account registration is required for standard transactions.

Why Swap Monero to Bitcoin?

Users may wish to convert Monero to Bitcoin for a variety of reasons, including accessing Bitcoin's broader liquidity, using Bitcoin-native services, or rebalancing holdings. MoneroEx provides a straightforward non-custodial route for this conversion without requiring account creation for standard swap amounts.

Privacy Notes

Your Monero transaction benefits from Monero's native privacy protections on the XMR side of the swap. Once funds are converted to Bitcoin, all subsequent BTC transactions are recorded on Bitcoin's fully public blockchain and are visible to analytics tools and network participants. The Bitcoin address you provide as a destination will receive BTC that is associated with this swap event on-chain.

Step-by-Step Process

  1. 1

    Select XMR to BTC and enter the amount

    Choose Monero as your source asset and Bitcoin as the destination. Enter the XMR amount you wish to convert. The estimated BTC output will be displayed at the current exchange rate.

  2. 2

    Enter your Bitcoin destination address

    Provide the Bitcoin address where you want to receive BTC. Verify the full address carefully. Bitcoin addresses come in multiple formats (P2PKH, P2SH, Bech32) — ensure your wallet supports the address format used.

  3. 3

    Send XMR to the Monero deposit address

    After reviewing the swap details, you will receive a Monero deposit address. Send the quoted XMR amount from your own Monero wallet. Allow sufficient time for Monero network confirmations.

  4. 4

    Receive BTC in your Bitcoin wallet

    After the required Monero network confirmations, the swap will execute and BTC will be sent to your specified Bitcoin address. Use your swap ID to track progress.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Providing a Bitcoin address from a custodial exchange as the destination, which may cause the exchange to flag the incoming transaction
  • Entering an incorrect Bitcoin address — Bitcoin transactions are irreversible
  • Not accounting for Monero's longer confirmation requirements compared to some other chains
  • Sending XMR from a wallet without enough sync to correctly construct and broadcast the transaction
  • Losing the swap ID before confirming the BTC has arrived
