People use it to pay merchants or services that take BCH, or to hold a coin with Bitcoin's supply schedule. Bitcoin Cash is a public ledger, so the payout and every later transfer can be seen on Blockchair. The BCH is paid to the address you enter, with no account. Monero adds a block about every 2 minutes, and a deposit is usually credited within about 20 minutes. The BCH typically goes out 20 to 60 minutes after you send the XMR, then waits for the next Bitcoin Cash block, which comes about every 10 minutes. Many BCH wallets show the incoming payment as soon as it is broadcast and mark it confirmed after that block. ### Tips - Paste a CashAddr address (bitcoincash:q... or just q...) or a legacy address starting with 1. Token-aware CashTokens addresses that start with bitcoincash:z are not accepted for the payout. - Take the address from a BCH wallet like Electron Cash or Cashonize. A legacy 1 address from a Bitcoin wallet passes the format check, but the BCH would not show up in that wallet. - Enter a Monero address from your own wallet as the refund address. Monero needs no payment ID. ### Can I get Bitcoin Cash for Monero without KYC? Yes. To swap XMR to BCH you do not register, give an email or upload ID. Paste a BCH address for the payout and a Monero address for refunds, then send the XMR at the floating rate shown. ### Is BCH the same as Bitcoin SV or eCash? No. Bitcoin SV split from Bitcoin Cash in 2018 and eCash (XEC) in 2020, and both are separate coins. This pair pays out BCH only. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap XMR to BCH on GhostSwap? Most XMR to BCH swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the XMR deposit needs about 20 minutes (10 confirmations) to confirm on Monero, then the BCH is sent to your wallet, and Bitcoin Cash confirms the payout in about 10–20 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much BCH do I get for 5 XMR? At 8 Oct 2026, 06:42 UTC, 5 XMR swapped to about 9.3397 BCH on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the BCH 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 Monero to Bitcoin Cash? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the BCH amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Monero network fee for your deposit is paid in XMR by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive BCH? To receive Bitcoin Cash from your swap, we recommend using Electron Cash or Cashonize. Make sure your wallet supports the Bitcoin Cash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BCH address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the BCH address? Use a Bitcoin Cash address: it starts with bitcoincash:q, q or 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my XMR to BCH 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 incoming BCH on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash). ### Is it safe to exchange XMR for BCH on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your XMR deposit is converted and the BCH is sent straight to the Bitcoin Cash address you enter, so check that address twice, Bitcoin Cash transfers cannot be reversed. ### Will my BCH be linked to my XMR? Monero is private by default: ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT hide the sender, the receiver and the amount of every transaction. The source of your funds is already protected. The BCH you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain with no visible connection to your XMR holdings. GhostSwap requires no KYC, so there's no account linking the two. ### How does a cross-chain XMR to BCH swap work? Monero lives on Monero and Bitcoin Cash on Bitcoin Cash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XMR on Monero and pays native BCH on Bitcoin Cash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my XMR to BCH exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the XMR is refunded to the Monero 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. ## Related - [Reverse: BCH to XMR](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/bch-xmr/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/bch-xmr.md)) - [No-KYC Monero exchange: all routes, minimums and times](https://ghostswap.io/monero-exchange/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/monero-exchange.md)) - [No-KYC Monero exchanges compared](https://ghostswap.io/no-kyc-monero-exchanges/) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
