Swap XMR to BTC

Send XMR from your own wallet, receive BTC at an address you control. No sign-up and no deposit balance held on a website — the swap is processed by StealthEX, an instant non-custodial exchange.

Rates, minimums and network fees are shown live in the widget before you send. Pick XMR → BTC if it isn't preselected.

Why swap Monero to Bitcoin?

People usually swap XMR to BTC to move funds onto a chain that more exchanges, payment processors and hardware wallets support, while keeping the Monero side of their history private.

How the XMR → BTC swap works

  1. Enter the XMR amount and paste your Bitcoin receiving address (bc1…, 3… or 1… all work). Double-check it — crypto sent to a wrong address can't be recalled.
  2. Optionally add a refund address (a Monero address of yours) in case the swap can't complete.
  3. Send exactly the quoted amount of XMR to the deposit address the widget shows.
  4. Wait for Monero confirmations. Monero outputs are spendable only after 10 blocks (about 20 minutes), so expect at least that before BTC is sent.
  5. BTC arrives at your address; the widget shows the transaction once it's broadcast.

Before you send

  • Monero transfers can't be traced on-chain the way Bitcoin's can, but the exchange still sees the deposit it gives you and the BTC it pays out.
  • Bitcoin network fees vary a lot; the quote you see already accounts for the payout fee.
  • Start with a small amount if it's your first swap, and keep the swap ID the widget gives you until the payout arrives.

FAQ

How long does an XMR to BTC swap take?
Usually 20–40 minutes. Most of that is Monero's 10-block (≈20 minute) confirmation lock on your deposit; the BTC payout follows once the deposit is confirmed.
Do I need an account?
No. You enter a receiving address and send the coins; there is no sign-up. StealthEX's own AML policy may still ask for verification if its risk checks flag a specific transaction.
