Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not private. Every transaction you have ever made sits on a public ledger, forever, linked to every address you have ever touched. Chain analysis firms read that ledger for a living. Exchanges buy their reports. So do governments. If you have ever attached your name to a Bitcoin address, and most people have, your financial history is a spreadsheet someone else owns.
Monero is the counterweight. Ring signatures hide the sender. Stealth addresses hide the receiver. Confidential amounts hide the number. Not as an optional setting you have to remember to switch on, but as the default for every single transaction. There is a reason XMR has survived every attempt to wish it away since 2014.
But here is the awkward part: the big exchanges have been showing Monero the door. Binance delisted it in 2024. Kraken pulled it for European customers the same year. Not because XMR broke, but because privacy coins give compliance departments heartburn. So the swap you used to do in three clicks on a big exchange now mostly happens on instant exchangers like this one.
Which is fine, honestly. An instant swap needs no account, no selfie, and no permission. You paste a Monero address, send one Bitcoin payment, and roughly half an hour later XMR lands in your wallet. The card above shows the live rate with our spread and the network fee already counted in. What it quotes is what arrives.
Confirmation counts and minimums above are the live values our exchange engine uses, not marketing copy. Block times are network averages and can vary.
Choose how much BTC you are sending. The card quotes your XMR payout with the spread and network fee already counted in. Paste the Monero address the payout should land at, plus an optional BTC refund address in case the swap cannot complete.
You get a deposit address on the Bitcoin network. Send your BTC to it from any wallet, in one payment of at least 0.0002 BTC. No account, no email, nothing to install.
Your deposit needs 2 confirmations on Bitcoin, about 20 minutes. We screen it before the exchange starts, then send XMR to your address and post the transaction hash on your order page.
The polite name for it is public ledger fatigue. You bought coffee with BTC once in 2021, and that transaction still links your identity-verified exchange withdrawal to your cold wallet. Bitcoin's transparency is great for auditing the supply. It is less great when a stranger can reconstruct your savings from a single payment you forgot about.
Surveillance got industrial. Blockchain analytics companies sell de-anonymization as a subscription product, and their customers are not just police. Marketing firms, competitors, and scammers sizing up targets can all buy a map of the Bitcoin graph. A public ledger serves them all equally. Monero simply gives them nothing to read.
Delistings flipped the market structure. When Japan and South Korea pushed their exchanges to drop privacy coins, and Binance followed in 2024, XMR did not stop trading. It moved. Instant swap services became the main rail between Bitcoin and Monero, which is why this page exists. No order book, no account, one deposit in and one payout out.
And there is the practical case: Monero behaves like cash. You can hold BTC as savings and keep a working balance in XMR for payments you would rather not publish to the entire internet. Plenty of people run exactly that split. The swap between the two takes one transaction in each direction, and we handle both.
We launched CoinVast in 2026 because this corridor deserved better than sketchy widgets. Screening happens before the exchange starts, so a deposit either proceeds or comes straight back to your refund address. Nobody freezes your coins mid-swap and asks for a passport. That policy matters double on a pair where privacy is the whole point.
Count on 20 to 35 minutes. Your Bitcoin deposit needs 2 confirmations, which is about 20 minutes at one block every 10 minutes. The exchange itself takes seconds, and the Monero payout usually shows in your wallet within a couple of minutes of being sent. One honest footnote: Monero requires 10 confirmations, about 20 more minutes, before incoming funds become spendable. That lock is built into Monero itself, not into us.
In most countries, yes. Owning and trading Monero is legal in the US, most of Europe, and most of the world. A few places, Japan and South Korea among them, pushed exchanges to drop privacy coins, and local rules vary, so knowing yours is on you. On our side, every deposit is screened before the exchange starts, and anything linked to sanctions is rejected rather than traded.
Pressure, not failure. Privacy coins make compliance teams and banking partners nervous, so Binance dropped XMR in 2024 and Kraken removed it for European users the same year. The protocol kept working the whole time. Trading just migrated to channels that do not need a listing committee: peer-to-peer markets and instant exchangers like this one. The delistings are the main reason BTC to XMR is now mostly an instant-swap pair.
Any wallet whose keys you control. The official Monero GUI and CLI wallets are the reference, Feather is a fast desktop option, and Cake Wallet and Monerujo cover phones. Your main address starts with a 4 and subaddresses start with an 8; either works here. Avoid pointing the payout at a custodial service that might not credit XMR. And give a fresh wallet a few minutes to sync before worrying about the balance.
Fixed. CoinVast quotes one rate at a flat 2% spread, and it locks the moment you create the swap. Because a BTC deposit takes about 20 minutes to confirm, the market price can drift while you wait, but the number you agreed to does not. There is no floating tier to weigh: the rate you see is the rate you get.
Setting it up takes under a minute. The blockchain handles the rest.
No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no KYC under the screening threshold. You paste an address, send one payment, and bookmark the order page, which is your receipt and tracker in one. Screening happens before the exchange begins: pass and the swap proceeds, fail and your coins return to your refund address. We never freeze funds after the fact, and a completed swap is final.
0.0002 BTC. Below that, Bitcoin network fees start eating a silly share of the swap, so the math stops working in your favor. There is no account tier and no upper limit baked into the card, though very large swaps can take a little longer to fill. If you are testing us for the first time, a small swap just above the minimum is a perfectly sensible way to do it.
