How the swap works
-
Type the USDC amount and paste your Monero payout address on Monero mainnet.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast USDC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, XMR is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- ERC-20 USDC follows Ethereum confirmation times.
- Send USDC on Ethereum mainnet only for this route β not Polygon, Base, or Solana USDC.
- Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending USDC.
- If XMR has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
USD Coin β issued dollar stablecoin
USDC on Ethereum mainnet is a widely trusted stablecoin for DeFi and transfers β always use ERC-20 on Ethereum unless stated otherwise.
USDC on Ethereum mainnet
Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. L2 USDC is a different asset on-chain.
Gas fees apply to token transfers β ensure sufficient ETH balance.
Monero β privacy on by default
Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and destinations stay confidential on-chain.
XMR payout not showing?
Wait for wallet sync to complete β Monero often needs several minutes to reflect incoming outputs.
If the order lists a payout tx but your synced wallet shows nothing, contact support.
Receiving XMR with privacy intact
Monero payouts use one-time addresses β your wallet must finish scanning recent blocks to display the balance.
- Use a fresh subaddress for each swap rather than reusing old receive addresses.
- Compare your wallet block height with a public explorer before assuming a payout failed.
- Allow extra time after the order shows sent β privacy features can delay wallet display.

Frequently asked questions
Does USDC to XMR require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for USD Coin to Monero.
How long until XMR arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. ERC-20 on Ethereum deposit confirmations and Monero mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold USDC or XMR for me?
No. You send USDC from a wallet you control and XMR is paid to the address you provide β PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send USDC on the wrong chain?
Use ERC-20 on Ethereum exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
