Instant Exchanges:

Instant exchanges are centralized exchanges that only keep custody of your funds while performing the exchange and then immediately sends the requested asset to a wallet you control. For many this is the most convenient way to trade XMR, but it is not without risk. Some instant exchanges have AML and KYC requirements and may freeze your funds.
On this page, instant exchangers with no documented history of freezing funds or requiring KYC will be noted with a ✅.
 
 
 

Centralized Exchanges:

Centralized and custodial exchanges. These should only be used as a last resort if you are unable to use any of the other decentralized, peer-to-peer or instant exchanges options. Opt for non-KYC exchanges first.
