To buy Monero in Europe without KYC, get any coin you can (or use existing holdings) and swap it to XMR on a no-KYC exchange — no account, no ID, funds sent to your Monero wallet. As EU platforms tighten privacy-coin rules, the swap route is the reliable option. Compare 30+ exchanges above or open LTC → XMR.

Buying XMR in Europe today
Many EU exchanges have delisted or restricted Monero. The workaround is simple: acquire a common coin (existing holdings, P2P, an ATM) and swap it to XMR on a no-KYC exchange with no verification.
How to buy Monero — step by step
- Set up a Monero wallet (Cake, Feather or the official GUI).
- Open a pair like LTC → XMR or BTC → XMR.
- Paste your XMR address; send your coin; receive XMR in 5–30 minutes.
General information only — EU users remain responsible for their own tax reporting.
Storing your Monero safely
Once you’ve swapped into XMR, keep it in a wallet you control — the official Monero GUI on desktop, or Cake Wallet / Feather on mobile. Write down your seed phrase offline and never paste it anywhere. Because Monero is private by default no one can see your balance, but that also means there’s no company to recover funds for you: your seed phrase is the only backup.
