A Monero exchange is a service that converts one crypto asset into XMR. GhostSwap is a no-KYC Monero exchange: you send BTC, ETH, USDT or another supported coin, and XMR lands in your wallet. No account, no email, no identity verification. Funds pass through non-custodially — GhostSwap never holds them.
TL;DR: GhostSwap swaps BTC, ETH, USDT and 1,600+ other pairs into Monero (XMR) with no account and no KYC. Swaps typically complete in about 8 minutes at floating-rate pricing.
A Monero exchange converts a source asset into XMR, Monero's native coin. Unlike an account-based platform, GhostSwap needs no signup — you supply a receiving XMR address and a refund address, and the swap runs non-custodially.
How the Monero Exchange Works
GhostSwap is a no-KYC Monero exchange with no account and no email required to swap. You enter an amount, get a floating-rate quote, send your source coin to a deposit address, and receive XMR at the Monero address you provided. Funds pass through — never held by GhostSwap.
Three things you supply before a swap:
- A source amount — how much BTC, ETH, USDT or other supported coin you want to convert.
- A Monero receiving address — where your XMR lands. Monero addresses are long; a single wrong character means funds cannot be recovered, so paste, don't type.
- A refund address — optional but recommended. If a swap can't complete, GhostSwap returns your source coin here.
GhostSwap currently supports 1,600+ pairs across roughly 200 assets, so routes like BTC → XMR, ETH → XMR and USDT → XMR are all standard.
How Long a Swap Takes
Swap completion time depends on source-chain confirmation speed plus the exchange step. From live product data fetched 2026-08-18, the median (p50) swap completes in about 8 minutes; 95% (p95) complete within 30 minutes. Network measured uptime over the trailing 30 days is 99.5%.
Because pricing is floating-rate from aggregated liquidity, the exact XMR amount is set when your deposit is detected on-chain — not the moment you click. If the market moves sharply while your source coin confirms, the output reflects that move. There is no fixed-rate lock before your funds arrive.
Monero Exchange vs Account-Based Platforms
| Feature | GhostSwap | Account-based platform |
|---|---|---|
| Account / KYC | None required | Account + identity verification |
| Custody | Non-custodial pass-through | Funds held by the platform |

How to Swap Into Monero
Open the swap widget on the GhostSwap homepage and pick your source coin and XMR as the destination. Enter your amount to see a live floating-rate quote, paste your Monero receiving address, add a refund address, and confirm. Send your source coin to the deposit address shown; XMR arrives once the deposit confirms.
For the most common route, use the BTC to XMR pair page. Swapping from stablecoins or Ethereum works the same way — pick the coin, set XMR as the destination, and follow the same three-step flow.
