Which Exchanges Still List Monero?

Monero still trades on KuCoin, HTX, MEXC, WhiteBIT and Bitfinex, and on Kraken for customers outside the European Economic Area. Those are the venues with meaningful daily volume. The exchanges that dropped XMR happen to be the ones most beginners have heard of - OKX, Binance, and Kraken in Europe - which is why Monero feels harder to find than it actually is.

Who dropped XMR, and when

OKX removed its XMR spot pairs in January 2024. Binance followed a month later, halting trading on 20 February 2024. Kraken announced in October 2024 that customers in the European Economic Area would lose Monero trading on the 31st of that month, with withdrawals open until 31 December and anything left afterwards converted into Bitcoin. Smaller exchanges have been leaving steadily since, usually with far less notice.

Why the big names left

Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount. For an exchange that turns routine compliance work - showing where a given payment came from - into something it cannot do with a block explorer, the public search page that works perfectly well for a transparent chain like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Rather than build around that, most large exchanges removed the coin, and where regional rules tightened the choice was made for them.

How to check the list yourself

Any list in an article, this one included, starts going stale the day it is published. Open a market-data site such as CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap, find the Monero page and look at its markets tab: it lists every exchange with a live XMR pair, ranked by volume. Ignore the venues near the bottom showing a few thousand dollars a day - a listing with no depth means your own order will move the price against you.

Before relying on any exchange here, confirm it accepts customers from your country and that XMR withdrawals are open, not just trading. Where to buy Monero after the delistings walks through choosing between them, and how to withdraw XMR from Kraken covers getting coins off an exchange once you hold them.
