Why swap BTC to XMR?
Bitcoin is transparent — every transaction is public forever. Monero (XMR) hides sender, receiver and amount by default. Swapping BTC → XMR moves value into a private coin and severs the on-chain link to your Bitcoin history — the core building block of anonymous crypto use.

Frequently asked questions
Is swapping BTC to XMR anonymous?
The swap itself needs no account or ID, and receiving into Monero hides the funds from that point on. For full anonymity, send from a non-custodial wallet and use a fresh XMR address over Tor/VPN.
Which exchange is best for BTC to XMR?
Fast services like FixedFloat and Monero-focused Swapuz are popular; Houdini Swap adds a private route. Let the comparison pick the best live rate.
How long does BTC → XMR take?
Usually 5–30 minutes, mostly Bitcoin confirmations. Monero itself confirms quickly and the exchange forwards funds within a minute or two after your deposit confirms.
Do I need a Monero wallet first?
Yes — a non-custodial one like the official Monero GUI, Cake Wallet or Feather. You’ll paste its receiving address as the swap destination.
