How to Swap USDT to Monero Privately in 3 Minutes

A step-by-step walkthrough: choosing a network, getting a rate, and what to check before you send.

Converting stablecoins into privacy coins is the most common privacy move in crypto. Here's how to do it without friction. (XMR to USDT exit)

Step 1 — Pick your deposit network. USDT exists on many chains. TRC20 (Tron) usually has the lowest fees; ERC20 is the most battle-tested. Choose the network your wallet actually holds — sending on the wrong network is the #1 cause of stuck funds. (XMR to USDT exit)

Step 2 — Enter your XMR address. Use a wallet you control (Feather, Monero GUI, Cake, or a hardware wallet). Monero addresses start with 4 or 8. Double-check the first and last 6 characters.

Step 3 — Send to the generated deposit address. The rate is locked when the order is created. After your deposit confirms, the exchange completes automatically — usually within minutes.

Pro tips: use a fresh receiving address for each swap (Monero wallets generate these automatically), and consider Tor if you want to separate your browsing identity from your order. (Is Tor safe for swaps?)

How do I know my XMR address is correct?
