Most coverage of Monero focuses on getting into it. The reverse direction gets less attention and is arguably more practical, because at some point most holders want to convert privacy assets back into something more liquid. 

Moving XMR back into Bitcoin is straightforward, but the options have narrowed and the trade-offs are worth understanding.

Why the reverse trade is harder than it should be

Getting Bitcoin is easy. Nearly every venue lists it. Getting rid of Monero is where people run into friction, because the same delisting wave that removed XMR from major exchanges also removed the obvious exit route.

More than seventy exchanges have delisted Monero since 2024, and European regulation is expected to restrict privacy assets at regulated venues by 2027. A holder who acquired XMR two years ago through a centralised exchange may find that the exchange no longer supports trading out of it.

This has made non-custodial swaps the practical default for the reverse direction rather than a niche alternative.

How to exchange Monero for Bitcoin

The mechanics mirror the forward trade. You exchange Monero to Bitcoin by selecting the pair, providing a Bitcoin destination address, and sending your XMR to the deposit address generated for that swap. Settlement typically takes under ten minutes once the Monero transaction confirms.

Four details worth getting right:

• Rate type. Floating settles at the market rate when your coins arrive. Fixed locks the rate upfront for a small premium. Monero can be volatile, so on a large trade the fixed rate is usually the sensible choice.
• Destination accuracy. Your Bitcoin address must be correct. Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed.
• Refund address. Always set one. If the swap cannot be completed at the quoted terms, your Monero is returned there rather than leaving you to open a support ticket. One exception is worth knowing about: a deposit that the licensed liquidity partner’s automated screening flags can be held pending review, and that is a manual process rather than an automatic return.
• Confirmation time. Monero requires around ten network confirmations, which takes roughly twenty minutes. Factor that into your timing rather than assuming the swap has stalled.

A note on what changes when you convert back

Worth understanding clearly: converting Monero into Bitcoin moves value from a private ledger to a public one. The Bitcoin you receive lands at an address on a transparent chain, and its subsequent movements are publicly visible like any other Bitcoin.

The Monero side of the transaction remains private, and the swap does not publish a link between your XMR and the Bitcoin you receive. But the Bitcoin itself behaves like Bitcoin from that point forward. People sometimes assume that passing through Monero permanently anonymises the output, and that is not an accurate way to think about it.

Rates, fees and liquidity

XMR to BTC is one of the more liquid privacy-coin pairs, so spreads are usually reasonable. Two costs apply: the service fee, quoted upfront, and network fees on both chains. Monero network fees are typically low. Bitcoin fees depend on congestion and can matter on smaller trades.

Because liquidity for Monero has thinned at custodial venues, check on larger trades that the quoted output amount is the amount that actually lands, and that no further deduction appears at settlement.

Rotating in both directions

Many holders do not treat this as a one-way decision. A common pattern is to hold a working balance in Bitcoin for liquidity and rotate a portion into Monero when they want that portion to stop being publicly readable, then convert back when they need to transact at scale.

Both directions run through the same mechanism. Services such as GhostSwap support the full round trip, and moving in the other direction to swap Bitcoin to Monero follows an identical process.

Summary

Converting Monero back into Bitcoin takes minutes through a non-custodial swap and does not require an account. Set a refund address, verify the destination, allow for Monero’s confirmation time, and use a fixed rate if the amount is large enough that a price move during settlement would matter. The exit route from Monero has narrowed at custodial venues, but it has not closed.

From a humble pitch in Rosario, Argentina, where a young boy’s footwork revealed his extraordinary talent, to a remote village by a Norwegian fjord, where a tall, blond teenager caught the eye of European giants with his astonishing finishing ability, from Messi to Haaland, fans have witnessed the legendary rise of countless “wonderkids” from obscurity to global football stardom.

Inside Silo 1, we see Daniel waking from cryo-sleep. Except he’s no longer called Daniel: He is now Troy. And while Troy looks physically the same as Daniel, he’s completely changed. That’s made crystal clear when he settles into his shift and has to deal with the outbreak in Silo 17, the same silo Juliette ventured to in Season 2. Troy, without hesitation, delivers a ruthless decision to execute every single person—man, woman, and child—who left the silo. A top priority of Silo 1 is to prevent silos from discovering that any other silos exist. His decision to unleash drone warfare is met with disapproval by drone pilot Susan, who is actually Daniel’s sister Charlotte (Jessica Brown Findlay). Neither of them recognizes one another from the past. “He’s completely bloodless about it. Totally unemotional. It’s just his job,” says Yost. (Yost does suggest that Charlotte’s negative reaction to Troy’s behavior is worth our attention, though he won’t say why).

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) notched their biggest inflows in nearly eight months as BTC reclaimed $80,000.

Bitcoin ETFs recorded $730.9 million in net inflows on Thursday, the largest daily haul since Jan. 14, when the funds attracted $843.6 million, according to SoSoValue data.

The surge followed $101.2 million inflows on Wednesday and came as Bitcoin reclaimed the $80,000 level after trading in a range between roughly $76,000 and $81,000 this week, according to CoinGecko.

Despite the spike in ETF inflows, CryptoQuant remained cautious about Bitcoin’s rally, citing weaker spot demand and heavy short covering as $83,000 emerges as a key bull market threshold.

BlackRock’s IBIT draws $454 million in a day

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest US spot Bitcoin ETF by net assets, led Thursday’s buying with $454 million in inflows, accounting for about 62% of the total, according to Farside Investors data.

While total spot Bitcoin ETF inflows reached their highest level since January, IBIT alone drew a larger $503 million inflow as recently as Aug. 20.

ARK Invest and 21Shares’ ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) followed with $137.7 million, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) drew $74.4 million.

VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF (HODL) and WisdomTree’s Bitcoin Fund (BTCW) were the only funds to record outflows on Thursday, at $19.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

Bitcoin rally still needs fresh buyers

Bitcoin’s recent rally was driven largely by traders closing short positions rather than opening new long positions, pointing to limited fresh buying demand, CryptoQuant said in a Thursday report shared with Cointelegraph.

The report mentioned that Bitcoin holders realized 23,000 BTC in net profits on Aug. 21, the highest daily amount this year, and about 110,000 BTC in total since Aug. 19, reflecting substantial profit-taking during the rally.

According to CryptoQuant, Bitcoin’s next major test sits around its 365-day moving average, which CryptoQuant placed at roughly $82,300.

The company said the moving average has historically marked the divide between Bitcoin bull and bear markets, with Bitcoin reaching $81,400 on Aug. 28 before retreating below the threshold.

“A decisive close above $83K would confirm the new bull market,” CryptoQuant said, while a rejection could trigger a pullback toward the 200-day moving average near $69,000.

Key takeaways

• Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP extended their weekly gains on Friday ahead of the U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls report.
• BTC remains above its 50-day, 100-day and 200-day exponential moving averages.
• Bitcoin faces resistance at $85,000, while the first major support zone lies between $69,696 and $72,539.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP extended their weekly gains on Friday as traders awaited the U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls report for the market’s next directional catalyst.

Bitcoin traded above $80,800 after gaining more than 4% during the week. Ethereum also strengthened after breaking and closing above the important $2,500 resistance level.

XRP maintained a cautiously bullish near-term outlook after rebounding from a key support level earlier in the week.

US jobs report could drive crypto volatility

The U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls report could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next monetary policy decision.

A stronger-than-expected employment report may reinforce expectations that interest rates will remain elevated or rise further, potentially weighing on cryptocurrencies and other risk assets.

Conversely, weaker employment data could reduce pressure on the Federal Reserve to maintain a hawkish position and provide additional support for Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP.

Traders should therefore prepare for increased volatility as markets adjust their interest-rate expectations following the release.

Bitcoin maintains bullish structure above key EMAs

Bitcoin traded at approximately $80,856 on Friday and maintained a firmly bullish technical structure.

BTC remains comfortably above its major exponential moving averages:

• The 50-day EMA at $71,126
• The 100-day EMA at $69,696
• The 200-day EMA at $72,539

The separation between Bitcoin’s current price and these moving averages indicates that the broader uptrend remains well supported.

However, the wide gap also leaves room for a correction if traders begin taking profits following the recent advance.

Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index stands near 71 on the daily chart. An RSI reading above 70 typically indicates that an asset has entered overbought territory. This does not guarantee an immediate reversal, but it suggests that the rally may be becoming extended.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator remains in positive territory, signaling that bullish momentum continues.

However, momentum appears less aggressive than during the earlier stage of the rally, which suggests that buyers may be losing some strength as Bitcoin approaches resistance.

The horizontal resistance near $85,000 represents Bitcoin’s next major upside target. Fresh selling pressure could emerge around this level as traders take profits and previously sidelined sellers enter the market.

A decisive daily close above $85,000 would signal that buyers remain in control and could open the door to further gains.

Failure to clear the level may lead to consolidation or a short-term pullback as the market absorbs Bitcoin’s rapid advance.

Bitcoin’s first major demand area is formed by its three key moving averages. The 200-day EMA at $72,539 provides the highest level of dynamic support, followed by the 50-day EMA at $71,126 and the 100-day EMA at $69,696.

This creates a broad support zone between approximately $69,700 and $72,500. If Bitcoin falls below all three averages, the next horizontal support levels sit at $66,500 and $62,300.

A breakdown beneath those deeper levels would significantly weaken the broader bullish structure. For now, Bitcoin remains firmly positioned above support as traders focus on a potential test of $85,000.

Alix and 23-year-old Ashtin—a less-extroverted brunette whose TikTok audience still tops a million—are the It-girl sisters who constantly squabble but consider each other best friends. Their mom, Alisa, and dad, TJ, have been divorced for more than a decade, their split catalyzed by TJ’s affair with Ashley Dupré, a key character in the prostitution scandal that sank former New York governor Eliot Spitzer. Now Dupré is Ashley Earle, TJ’s wife and the mother of their three kids; the eldest, Izabel, is, at 13, already cranking out Outfit of the Day videos like the Gen Alpha Kylie Jenner she has the pedigree to become. A recent breast cancer survivor, Alisa has her own longtime partner, Todd. Her messy separation from TJ has evidently given way to a tenuous friendship between the couples, although it seems doubtful they spend as much time together off-camera as on. These relationships are further complicated by the role TJ, who made his fortune in construction, has assumed as Alix and Ashtin’s “dadager.”
