Which exchanges list Monero?

Exchanges to check for Monero (XMR) include Kraken, KuCoin, MEXC, CoinEx, and Gate. Each has listed XMR, but availability can change and may depend on where you live, so confirm that an exchange currently supports XMR trading, deposits, and withdrawals for your account before sending any coins.

Where to start looking

These are useful starting points, not a guarantee that you can use every service:

• Kraken: Has offered XMR trading, including ways to trade against regular money in supported markets. It has removed Monero support in some regions, including the European Economic Area.
• KuCoin: Has listed XMR trading pairs. Check its current country restrictions and identity-check requirements.
• MEXC: Has offered XMR markets. Confirm that deposits and withdrawals are open, not just trading.
• CoinEx: Has listed XMR. Check the available trading pairs, minimum deposit, and withdrawal fee.
• Gate: Has offered XMR markets. Check both your regional eligibility and the current wallet status.

A trading pair is the asset you exchange XMR for. For example, XMR/USDT means trading Monero for Tether, a token designed to track the US dollar. Receiving USDT is not the same as withdrawing dollars to your bank.

Why some familiar exchanges are missing

Monero hides transaction details by design. That privacy has led some exchanges to remove it because of regulatory requirements, compliance concerns, or their own business policies.

Binance and OKX removed XMR from their centralized exchanges in 2024. Old articles, screenshots, and search results may still show their former Monero markets.

An exchange can also remove XMR in one region while keeping it elsewhere. That means a recommendation from someone in another country may not work for you.

Do not try to bypass country restrictions with a false address or other misleading information. You could lose access to your account and funds.

Check more than the coin listing

Before choosing an exchange, check these details on its own platform:

• Your country: Are you allowed to open an account and trade XMR?
• Actual XMR support: Can you deposit and withdraw Monero, rather than only bet on its price through a contract?
• Wallet status: Are deposits or withdrawals temporarily paused?
• Selling route: Can you sell directly for your local currency, or must you trade into another asset first?
• Total costs: Check trading fees, withdrawal fees, and the difference between buying and selling prices.
• Order-book depth: Are there enough buyers near the displayed price to handle your sale?

A price page alone does not prove that an exchange accepts XMR deposits.

If you are selling mining payouts

For small mining payouts, minimum deposits matter. A transfer below an exchange’s minimum might not be credited automatically.

Usually, receiving mining payouts in a wallet you control first gives you more flexibility if an exchange changes its rules. When you are ready to sell, follow the exchange’s current deposit instructions and consider a small test transfer above its minimum.

Keep records of payouts, transfers, fees, and sales. Mining income and later sales may have different tax treatment; check your local rules or ask a tax professional.

The bottom line

Start with the exchanges above, but verify support for your country and your account. Choose a working deposit-and-selling route—not simply a site that displays an XMR price.
