There are four main routes to Monero (XMR). Three usually need no account or ID: instant non-custodial swap services such as Troca de fantasmas, peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces such as Haveno and Bisq 1, and atomic-swap DEXs such as BasicSwap and eigenwallet. The fourth route, centralised exchanges, needs an account and ID checks, and several have dropped XMR.
The four ways to get Monero without KYC
| Rota | Conta / ID | Who holds funds during the trade | Velocidade típica | Suporte Fiat | Habilidade necessária |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Troca instantânea sem custódia | Usually none. GhostSwap: no account, no email and no ID for standard swaps. | The service handles your deposit for that one swap and pays the coins to your own wallet. No account balance is kept. | Minutes to about an hour, mostly waiting for deposit confirmations | No, crypto to crypto | Low: paste an address and send the deposit |
| Mercado P2P | No account or ID. For fiat trades you share payment details with your trade partner. | Multisig escrow. Haveno uses 2-of-3 keys with an arbitrator; Bisq 1 uses 2-of-2 with deposits from both traders. | Under an hour to several days, set by the payment method | Yes on Haveno networks (bank transfer, payment apps, cash). Bisq 1 trades XMR for BTC only. | Medium: desktop app, security deposit, trade chat |
| DEX de troca atômica | nenhum | No third party. Each side’s coins are locked on their own chain until the swap completes or is refunded. | Usually 30 minutes or more, set by confirmations on both chains | Não | Higher: wallets for both coins, and the app must be online to finish or refund a swap |
| Troca centralizada | Account plus ID verification | The exchange holds your balance | Fast trades once verified; ID checks can take days | Yes, where XMR is still listed | Low, but XMR is unavailable in many regions |
If you already hold BTC, ETH or USDT, an instant swap is the shortest route. If you want to pay by bank transfer, payment app or cash, a P2P marketplace is the main no-ID option. Atomic swaps suit people who run their own wallets and want no middle party at all. To buy XMR with a card or bank account, see Como comprar Monero.

Perguntas frequentes
Which exchanges accept Monero (XMR)?
Monero is traded on instant swap services, on P2P marketplaces such as Haveno networks and Bisq 1, on atomic-swap DEXs such as BasicSwap and eigenwallet, and on a few centralised exchanges such as Kraken in the regions where it still offers XMR. Binance delisted XMR in February 2024, and Coinbase has never listed it. The tables on this page show the account needs and recent changes for each option.
Are there any non-KYC crypto exchanges?
Yes: P2P marketplaces and atomic-swap DEXs need no account or ID, and many instant swap services need none for standard swaps. They differ in custody and speed. An instant swap pays out to your wallet in one step, a P2P market locks funds in multisig with a trade partner, and an atomic swap locks coins on-chain until both sides finish or a refund is made. Centralised exchanges almost always require ID.
What replaced LocalMonero?
No single service replaced LocalMonero, but Haveno is the closest match: open-source P2P software for trading XMR for cash, bank transfers or crypto with no account. RetoSwap is a public Haveno network with desktop and Android apps. LocalMonero stopped new trades on 14 May 2024, and its closing notice mentioned Haveno and other decentralised exchanges. Bisq 1 also trades XMR, but only against BTC.
Already hold Bitcoin? Swap BTC to XMR without an account. GhostSwap needs no account, no email and no ID for standard swaps, uses a floating rate, and pays the XMR to your own wallet.
