Looking for an eXch alternative?
eXch went dark in May 2025, and German federal police took its servers days later. Most people who used it wanted one simple thing: to swap one coin for another without opening an account. That part was never the crime, and it still exists. SwapSS does the account-free swap, built to keep doing it.

What happened to eXch
The operators announced they would close on May 1, 2025. Germany’s federal criminal police seized the platform’s servers, its data and roughly 38 million dollars in crypto, and made the takedown public on May 9. eXch is not coming back, and anything wearing its name today is not it.
What stays the same
- No account. You enter an amount and a receiving address; that is the entire form.
- No balance. Coins pass through a swap and land at your address. Nothing sits here.
- A locked rate. The number you see when you start is the number that arrives.
What is different here, on purpose
We screen incoming funds. A deposit that trips a risk check stops and goes to a human for review instead of dissolving into a pool. If your plan is to wash stolen coins, SwapSS is the wrong place. If your plan is to swap crypto without handing your name and history to one more database, it is the right one. That difference is exactly why we expect to still be online next year.
How we handle flagged funds is written out on the AML page.
How a swap works
- 01 Pick the pair, enter the amount and your receiving address.
- 02 Send your coins to the address shown, in one transaction.
- 03 Receive the swapped coins at your own wallet. Nothing stays with us.
FAQ
- Is SwapSS the same thing as eXch?
- No, and on purpose. For you the swap feels the same: no account, no balance, coins go straight to your address. The difference is that we screen deposits and send flagged funds to manual review instead of looking away. We think that is the only version of this service that lasts.
- Do I need to register?
- No. There is no account to create and no email to confirm. Amount, address, done.
- Do you hold my coins?
- Only for the minutes a swap is in flight. There are no balances here, so there is nothing to freeze, lose or hand over later.
- Which coins can I swap?
- BTC, ETH, XMR, USDT and hundreds of other directions. The form shows what is live right now, with the exact rate and minimum.
- What happens if my deposit gets flagged?
- It stops before execution and a person looks at it. We follow the process described on our AML page, and funds are never quietly kept.
