Swap Monero (XMR) to Bitcoin (BTC)
Swapping Monero (XMR) to Bitcoin (BTC) is one of the most-requested privacy-preserving routes in crypto. SwapRocket routes XMR → BTC through non-custodial liquidity providers, so you never create a SwapRocket account or park funds on an exchange. Identity checks are not a standard step of a crypto-to-crypto swap; whether a provider ever asks for verification is governed by that provider's own compliance policy, not by a trade-size exemption.
How it works
- 01Enter the amount of XMR to swap.
- 02Paste your Bitcoin wallet address.
- 03Pick a fixed or floating rate.
- 04Send XMR to the one-time deposit address.
- 05Receive BTC in your wallet.

Fixed rate or floating rate for XMR → BTC?
- Fixed rate
- The BTC amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your XMR deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote even if the price moves. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.
- Floating rate
- The swap executes at the market rate when your XMR deposit lands. Usually pays out slightly more BTC than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.
Why swap XMR to BTC on SwapRocket
- Aggregated rate comparison. SwapRocket compares quotes across multiple providers so your BTC payout reflects the strongest quote SwapRocket found at that moment — with zero added fees, so you can compare elsewhere before confirming.
- Non-custodial. SwapRocket never holds your XMR or BTC. The Bitcoin is sent straight to the wallet address you provide.
- No account. No SwapRocket account is required to swap XMR for BTC. The selected provider may request identity verification or hold a transaction for review under its own compliance policy, regardless of amount.
- Fixed or floating rate. Lock the XMR/BTC rate at quote time, or use the market rate at execution.
Why swap XMR → BTC
- Realise XMR gains into BTC without exposing balances to a centralised exchange.
- Bridge from Monero into Lightning or on-chain BTC for wider merchant acceptance.
- Rotate part of a private Monero stack into deep-liquidity Bitcoin storage.
- Move to BTC ahead of a Monero hard fork or wallet upgrade cycle.
Network fees explained
- Sending XMR
- Monero fees are dynamic but genuinely cheap — usually a fraction of a cent thanks to bulletproofs+ and its ring-signature design. Your wallet sets the priority; standard confirms in about 20 minutes (10 confirmations).
- Receiving BTC
- The BTC payout is paid by the provider on-chain. You receive native BTC on the Bitcoin base layer — no wrapped tokens, no bridge tokens.

Fees and pricing
Zero added fees: SwapRocket does not add a platform fee, a minimum or a withdrawal charge — the rate you see is the rate you get. Blockchain network fees are shown in full before you confirm, and the final amount you receive is quoted up front.
SwapRocket does not add a separate fee or markup to the provider quote. SwapRocket may earn a commission from the liquidity provider when a completed swap is referred through our platform. Provider spreads and applicable network costs are reflected in the quoted amount.
Network fees are set by the blockchain, not by SwapRocket. No account, no subscription and no withdrawal charge. Live support is available 24/7.
XMR → BTC FAQ
How do I swap XMR to BTC?
Enter the amount of Monero you want to exchange, paste your Bitcoin wallet address, and confirm the deposit. SwapRocket aggregates quotes from multiple providers and settles BTC directly to your wallet — no account required.
How long does a XMR to BTC swap take?
Most XMR/BTC swaps average under 10 minutes, depending on Monero network confirmation times.
What's the fee to swap XMR to BTC?
SwapRocket aggregates quotes and routes to the best executable rate. The displayed quote is what you receive — there is no hidden spread. Network fees for Monero apply on top.
Do I need an account to exchange XMR for BTC?
No. SwapRocket is non-custodial — provide a Bitcoin address and swap directly from your wallet.
What's the minimum XMR to BTC swap?
Minimums are set by the underlying liquidity provider and shown live before you confirm a quote.
Do I need to verify my identity to swap XMR for BTC?
SwapRocket never asks you to create an account or upload identity documents for a crypto-to-crypto swap. The swap itself is executed by a third-party provider (for example FixedFloat, Changelly or ChangeNOW) under that provider's own AML policy: a provider can hold a transaction for review and request verification when its risk checks flag it, whatever the amount. Check the provider's published policy before you send. Buying crypto with a card or bank transfer is a separate flow that always requires verification.
How long does XMR → BTC take?
Under 10 minutes on average end-to-end: Monero requires ~10 confirmations before the provider releases BTC, then Bitcoin needs 1 confirmation to your wallet.
Do I need to disclose the source of my XMR?
SwapRocket does not ask. Monero's on-chain privacy means a provider cannot inspect your XMR history the way it might inspect a BTC or ETH deposit, but a provider's compliance team can still ask questions or hold an order if it is flagged under its own policy.
