The Two-Step Method
Swap XMR to a stablecoin first — this locks your value at the current dollar rate — then convert that stablecoin to cash.
Step 1 — Swap XMR → USDT on AceChange.io
⏱ 5–30 minutes • No account • No KYC
No sign-up. The swap form is on the homepage.
TRC20 (Tron) has the lowest fees (~$1). Enter the amount.
Exchange account or personal wallet. Must be TRC20 network.
Open your wallet, Send, paste the deposit address, confirm. 10 confirmations needed (~20 min).
Track the order in real-time on AceChange.
No account • No KYC • No limits • Fees from 0.5%
Memo & Payment ID — Read Before Sending XMR
When sending Monero to any exchange or swap service, you may see a Memo or Payment ID field. This is the #1 mistake people make.
What is it?
Exchanges use one Monero address for all customers. The memo tells them which account the deposit belongs to — like a reference number on a bank transfer.
The rules:
→ Sending to an exchange and it shows a memo? Copy-paste it exactly. Do not skip it.
→ Sending to a personal wallet? No memo needed.
→ Forgot the memo? Funds are not lost — contact support with your transaction ID and tx key. Recovery takes days to weeks.
⚠️ Some services use integrated addresses (memo embedded in the address) or subaddresses (starting with 8). With these, no separate memo is needed. Always follow the deposit page instructions.
Step 2 — Convert USDT to Cash
⏱ Instant to 1–3 days depending on method
AceChange.io Fiat Gateway
Sell USDT directly for fiat. Level 1 needs only name, phone, date of birth — no ID, no selfie. Takes ~30 seconds.
LEVEL 1 LIMITS (NO ID):
Bank transfer: $500/tx · Daily: $1,000 · Card: $150/tx
Major Exchange (Kraken, Coinbase, Binance, Bybit)
Send USDT there, sell for local currency, withdraw to bank. Full KYC required but highest limits. If you already have a verified account, this is fastest for large amounts.
P2P Trading
Haveno — decentralized, non-custodial, multisig escrow, runs over Tor. Fully private.
Warning: LocalMonero shut down in 2024. Avoid Telegram/Discord P2P — scam risk is high. Always use escrow.
