How long does an XMR to USDT swap take?

Most swaps complete within roughly 10 to 60 minutes. The main variables are Monero's confirmation time and settlement on Ethereum (ERC-20); network congestion on either side can extend the total swap time.

Do I need an account to swap XMR to USDT?

No. Standard XMR to USDT swaps use an account-free flow with minimal data collection. Verification may be required only in limited risk cases.

Is the XMR to USDT swap non-custodial?

Funds are routed only to fulfil your order, and USDT is delivered directly to the Ethereum (ERC-20) address you control. MoneroEx does not hold your balance beyond the duration of the swap.

Will my USDT be private after the swap?

No. Once funds leave Monero, the USDT transaction is recorded on the public Ethereum (ERC-20) ledger and is visible to anyone. Only the Monero side benefits from XMR's protocol-level privacy.

Is there a minimum amount for XMR to USDT?

Yes. A minimum applies so the transaction can cover network fees on both the Monero and Ethereum (ERC-20) networks. The current minimum is shown in the swap interface when you select the XMR to USDT pair.

Swap Monero to Tether

Convert XMR to USDT and receive Tether in your own wallet. Account-free standard flow, non-custodial, verification may be required in limited risk cases.

How This Pair Works

Swapping Monero to Tether sends native XMR from your wallet and delivers USDT on the Ethereum (ERC-20) network. Provide your USDT destination address, deposit Monero, and MoneroEx completes the exchange after the required confirmations — account-free for the standard flow.

Why Swap Monero to Tether?

Moving Monero into Tether lets you reach Ethereum (ERC-20) liquidity, trading pairs, or spending options that XMR alone may not cover. The swap is delivered directly to your USDT wallet and stays account-free for standard amounts.

Privacy Notes

Your incoming Monero benefits from XMR's protocol-level privacy, but the outgoing USDT is recorded on the public Ethereum (ERC-20) network and is visible to anyone analysing that chain. MoneroEx cannot control Ethereum (ERC-20) transparency. Only the data necessary to process the swap is collected, and verification may be required in limited risk cases.

Step-by-Step Process

1
Select XMR to USDT and enter the amount
Choose Monero as the source currency and Tether as the destination, then enter how much XMR you want to swap. The interface shows the estimated USDT you will receive at the current rate.
2
Enter your Tether destination address
Paste your USDT wallet address into the destination field. A Tether address is a 42-character ERC-20 address starting with 0x; verify the full string carefully, as transactions cannot be reversed once sent.
3
Send XMR to the deposit address
After you confirm the details, you receive a Monero deposit address. Send the exact XMR amount shown from your own wallet; sending a different amount may affect the rate or require review.
4
Receive USDT in your wallet
Once your Monero deposit reaches about 10 confirmations, MoneroEx executes the swap and sends USDT to your Ethereum (ERC-20) address. Track progress with your unique swap ID.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pasting a USDT address from the wrong network instead of a valid Ethereum (ERC-20) address
Checking only part of the Tether address instead of verifying the full string
Copying the destination address from chat or email rather than directly from your Tether wallet
Sending an amount different from the quoted XMR, which may change the rate or trigger manual review
Closing the status page before the swap confirms and losing track of the swap ID
