## Bitcoin Cash to Monero: what to know before you swap

BCH to XMR swaps Bitcoin Cash into Monero. Bitcoin Cash payments are public on its block explorer; Monero hides the sender, receiver and amount. No account is needed; the XMR is paid to your own wallet.

Bitcoin Cash blocks arrive about every 10 minutes; received XMR becomes spendable after 10 Monero confirmations, about 20 minutes.

### Tips

- Monero addresses are 95 characters long and start with 4 (standard) or 8 (subaddress). Paste the address; never type it by hand.
- Bitcoin Cash addresses start with bitcoincash:q or q (CashAddr). Do not send BCH to a BTC address.
- Use a fresh Monero subaddress for each swap.

### Can I swap BCH to XMR without KYC?

Yes. Paste your Monero address and send the Bitcoin Cash. No account or ID.

### How long does BCH to XMR take?

Usually under an hour, mostly the Bitcoin Cash confirmation. Received XMR becomes spendable after 10 Monero confirmations, about 20 minutes.

## FAQ

### How much XMR do I get for 5 BCH?

At 8 Oct 2026, 06:42 UTC, 5 BCH swapped to about 2.5994 XMR on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the XMR network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send.

### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin Cash to Monero?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the XMR amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Bitcoin Cash network fee for your deposit is paid in BCH by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive XMR?

To receive Monero from your swap, we recommend using Feather, Cake Wallet or Monero GUI. MetaMask and other Ethereum wallets do not support Monero. Make sure your wallet supports the Monero network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XMR address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the XMR address?

Use a Monero address: it is 95 characters and starts with 4 (standard) or 8 (subaddress). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my BCH to XMR swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your BCH payment on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash).

### Is it safe to exchange BCH for XMR on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BCH deposit is converted and the XMR is sent straight to the Monero address you enter, so check that address twice, Monero transfers cannot be reversed.

### Can my BCH to XMR swap be traced?

Your BCH transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain since Bitcoin Cash is transparent: all transactions publicly visible on the BCH blockchain. However, once your XMR arrives in your wallet, Monero is private by default: ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT hide the sender, the receiver and the amount of every transaction. By swapping BCH to XMR on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

### How does a cross-chain BCH to XMR swap work?

Bitcoin Cash lives on Bitcoin Cash and Monero on Monero, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BCH on Bitcoin Cash and pays native XMR on Monero, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my BCH to XMR exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the BCH is refunded to the Bitcoin Cash address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
