How to buy Monero (XMR) with no KYC

Ways to get Monero

• Swap crypto you already haveThe quickest way. Send BTC, USDT, ETH or another coin and get XMR in your own wallet. On HiddenSwap it needs no account and no ID. Start with Bitcoin to Monero or USDT to Monero.
• Move coins off an exchange account firstMany large exchanges no longer list Monero. If your Bitcoin, Litecoin or USDT sits on an exchange account, send it to a wallet you control, then swap it to XMR here.
• Trade with a personPeer-to-peer markets let you trade XMR directly with someone else. It usually costs more and takes longer than a swap.
• Mine or earn itMonero can be mined on a normal computer, and some people get paid in XMR for their work. It is slow, but the coins come to you directly.

Our guide How to get Monero without KYC goes through each way in detail.

4. 4
   Send one depositSend the exact amount to the deposit address on your order page, in one transaction, on the network shown.
5. 5
   Get your XMROnce your deposit is confirmed, it is swapped and XMR is sent to your wallet. New XMR shows in your balance first and can be spent after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes.

Keep your order ID until the XMR arrives. It is all support needs.

Which coin to swap to Monero

• USDT on Tron or USDT on Ethereum: a steady amount, handy if you keep dollars in crypto.
• Bitcoin: the most common route, for any size.
• Litecoin: low network fees and quick confirmations.
• Ethereum and Solana: swap straight from your ETH or SOL wallet.

Every pair and its live rate is on our Monero (XMR) exchange page.

What getting Monero costs

The estimate in the swap box is what you get. The exchange spread, our fee and the payout network fee are already in it. Your wallet pays its own network fee to send the deposit, and nothing is added after.

Our fees page shows how the rate is built, with a live example.

Getting Monero privately

• Swap from a wallet you control, not straight from an exchange account.
• Use a new Monero subaddress for each swap.
• Open the site in Tor Browser if you like. The swap works with JavaScript turned off.
• Monero hides amounts, senders and receivers by default, so once the XMR is in your wallet, what you do next stays private.

HiddenSwap is a no KYC crypto exchange: swap records keep no name and no IP address, and are deleted after 90 days. More on the anonymous crypto exchange page.
