BTC to XMR Swap
A BTC to XMR swap means you send Bitcoin and receive Monero through this exchange route. Enter the BTC amount in the swap widget to preview the estimated XMR payout before payment, then create the order and check the BTC deposit details generated for it.
Before sending BTC, confirm the direction is BTC → XMR and provide a valid Monero wallet address for payout. Your XMR is sent to the address you enter, and timing depends in part on Bitcoin network confirmations after your transaction is broadcast.

What a BTC to Monero Swap Means
A BTC to Monero swap is a crypto-to-crypto exchange where you send BTC and receive XMR. The widget provides an estimated XMR receive amount before you fund the order, so you can review the expected payout in advance.
Once Bitcoin is sent to the order's payment details, the exchange route processes the swap and transfers Monero to your provided wallet address. Final timing and payout depend on BTC confirmations, execution conditions, and accurate XMR destination details.

How to Swap BTC to XMR
-
Select BTC as the asset you send and XMR as the asset you want to receive.
-
Enter the amount of BTC you plan to exchange, then review the estimated Monero payout shown for the current route.
-
Provide a compatible Monero wallet address and check the order details carefully before payment.
-
After the order is created, send BTC only to the payment details shown for that order.
-
When the Bitcoin transaction is detected and the required processing steps are completed, the service sends XMR to your payout address. Incorrect address or payment details can delay processing or prevent successful completion, so a final check before sending is important.
Estimate, Rate, and Final XMR Payout
The market rate is a reference point, while the widget estimate is the pre-send quote shown after you enter your BTC amount. That estimate helps you understand the expected XMR receive amount before payment, but it is not the same as the final payout.
The completed XMR amount can differ from the first estimate because of rate movement during processing, fees, execution conditions, and the timing of BTC confirmations. If confirmation takes longer or route conditions change before the exchange is completed, the final payout may not exactly match the initial quote.
Before You Send BTC
- Confirm the direction is BTC to XMR.
- Review the BTC amount you intend to send.
- Make sure the receive asset is XMR.
- Verify your Monero wallet address carefully.
- Re-check the order payment details and selected network.
- Review the estimated XMR payout and any minimum amount condition.
- Understand that execution conditions and additional checks may apply in some cases.

BTC Payment Details and Monero Wallet Checks
The BTC payment details shown after order creation are valid only for that specific order. Bitcoin should be sent only to the generated destination for the current swap, because using different or outdated payment data can interrupt processing.
On the payout side, your wallet must support Monero, and the XMR address must be entered correctly. Wrong destination details can delay the payout or cause the order to require manual review.
Why Users Swap BTC for Monero
Users often swap BTC for XMR when they want to move value from Bitcoin into Monero without converting through fiat first. This route can also help with portfolio reallocation or with sending funds to a wallet that needs XMR instead of BTC.
Another common reason is direct crypto-to-crypto conversion with a visible estimate before payment. In that case, the user reviews the expected XMR payout, confirms the destination wallet is ready, and then sends BTC using the order details for this pair.
Account and Verification Information
Standard crypto-to-crypto swaps may not require registration to start. In many cases, you can create a BTC to XMR order and proceed without opening an account first.
At the same time, additional verification or AML/risk checks may apply in some transactions. This means no account may be required for a standard exchange route, while certain orders can still be reviewed if needed.
