Why swap BCH to XMR?
Bitcoin Cash forked from Bitcoin in 2017 with bigger blocks and very low fees, but it kept Bitcoin's fully public ledger: every address and amount is visible. Monero hides sender, receiver and amount by default. Swapping BCH to XMR gives you private savings or a private way to pay — and with a no-KYC exchange, there's no account linking the two. See why Bitcoin-style chains aren't anonymous and is Monero traceable.
How to swap BCH to Monero — step by step
- Get a Monero address — ideally a fresh subaddress from a wallet in best Monero wallets.
- Open the pair in the form above or at BCH → XMR.
- Compare live rates, best first, with limits.
- Paste your XMR address and a BCH refund address (BCH uses
bitcoincash:q…or legacy formats — see address formats). - Send BCH to the deposit address.
- Receive XMR; it becomes spendable after about 20 minutes (10 Monero confirmations).
Fees, limits & timing — the numbers
| Item | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Exchange spread | 0.5–1.5%, included in the quote |
| BCH network fee | Around a cent |
| BCH confirmations | Often 1–6 blocks (~10 min each) |
| Monero payout | Fee included; ~20 min until spendable |
| Minimum | ~$20–30 equivalent |
Tips for a smooth swap
- Don't send BCH to a BTC address or vice versa — they're different chains with similar-looking legacy addresses.
- Use a fixed rate if the market is moving, since BCH deposits take a few blocks.
- Check the order amount matches the quote — see fake exchange rates.
- Prefer BTC? Use BCH → BTC.
