Step-by-step: swap USDT to XMR
Step 1
Pick the USDT → XMR pair
Select USDT as the asset you're sending and XMR as the asset you want to receive. Confirm the network on each side — XMR on the wrong network can mean lost funds.
Step 2
Get a live aggregated quote
Monivo polls every connected provider and shows the best USDT/XMR output for your amount, including the network fee and the exact XMR you'll receive.
Step 3
Paste your XMR wallet address
Enter the wallet that should receive your XMR. Double-check the first and last 6 characters — it must be a valid Monero address.
Step 4
Choose fixed or floating rate
Use a fixed rate to lock the USDT/XMR rate (~10 min), or a floating rate to settle at the market price when your deposit confirms.
Step 5
Send your USDT deposit
Send the exact USDT amount to the one-time deposit address shown. USDT typically confirms within 5–20 minutes.
Step 6
Receive your XMR
Once confirmed, the swap executes automatically and XMR is pushed directly to your wallet — no withdrawal step.

Fees, rates, and safety
A USDT→XMR swap has two cost layers: the Tether (USDT) network fee, and the provider spread baked into the quote. Aggregated routing shows the all-in XMR you receive up front, so compare the net payout — not the headline rate. Use a fixed rate to lock the price before depositing, or a floating rate to settle at market when your deposit confirms. Always verify the destination network and the first and last 6 characters of your XMR address before sending.
