How to swap XMR to BTC, step by step
Step 1
Pick the XMR → BTC pair
Select XMR as the asset you're sending and BTC as the asset you want to receive. Confirm the network on each side — BTC on the wrong network can mean lost funds.
Step 2
Get a live aggregated quote
SwapRocket polls every connected provider and shows the best XMR/BTC output for your amount, including the network fee and the exact BTC you'll receive.
Step 3
Paste your BTC wallet address
Enter the wallet that should receive your BTC. Double-check the first and last 6 characters — it must be a valid Bitcoin address.
Step 4
Choose fixed or floating rate
Use a fixed rate to lock the XMR/BTC rate (~10 min), or a floating rate to settle at the market price when your deposit confirms.
Step 5
Send your XMR deposit
Send the exact XMR amount to the one-time deposit address shown. XMR typically confirms within 10–25 minutes.
Step 6
Receive your BTC
Once confirmed, the swap executes automatically and BTC is pushed directly to your wallet — no withdrawal step.

Fees, rates, and staying safe
A XMR→BTC swap carries two costs: the Monero network fee and the spread the provider builds into the quote. Aggregated routing shows the total BTC you'll get before you commit, so judge the net payout rather than the advertised rate. A fixed rate locks in the price before you deposit; a floating rate settles at market price once your deposit is confirmed. Always double-check the destination network and the first and last six characters of your BTC address before sending.
