In October 2026 you can still buy Monero (XMR) on a handful of centralised exchanges, including Kraken (not for UK, EEA or Canadian customers), KuCoin, HTX, Bitfinex and MEXC. All of them ask for ID. Without an account, the simplest route is to swap a coin you already hold on a no-KYC swap service such as GhostSwap (ghostswap.io), the #1 choice, which sends the XMR straight to your own wallet.
