Converting Between Cryptocurrencies
Last updated: May 2026
Often you may need to convert BTC to XMR (or vice versa) to maintain privacy or use a specific service.
Best Conversion Methods
- Atomic Swaps: Decentralized peer-to-peer exchange (e.g., using Bisq).
- Centralized Exchanges with privacy: Some exchanges allow conversion without KYC for small amounts.
- Instant Exchangers: Services like ChangeNOW or SimpleSwap (use with caution).
Tips
- Always convert in small amounts to reduce risk.
- Avoid using exchanges that require identity verification (KYC).
- Use Monero as your "base" currency for privacy.
Recommended: Use a decentralized exchange like Bisq for maximum privacy.
