Mixero routes BTC and ETH through Monero for privacy

Mixero, a crypto privacy service for public blockchains, has expanded its Advanced Mode to route Bitcoin and Ethereum transactions through Monero. The platform converts incoming BTC or ETH into XMR, moves funds across Monero using an XMR bridge, and returns the asset to a fresh address on the original chain.

For Bitcoin the path follows BTC → XMR → BTC. For Ethereum the path follows ETH → XMR → ETH. Mixero generates temporary, auto-created wallets along the route and uses the XMR bridge to move funds through Monero before the final payout to the user’s receiving address.

The feature adds a privacy layer between the sending and receiving wallets on public blockchains. Bitcoin and Ethereum record transactions, balances and account histories on public ledgers and block explorers. Routing assets through Monero makes direct links between on-chain deposits and withdrawals harder to trace using standard chain-analysis tools.

Monero’s protocol includes ring signatures to obscure which outputs are spent, stealth addresses to create one-time recipient addresses, and Ring Confidential Transactions to hide transfer amounts. Those properties apply while funds are held or routed in XMR and reduce the ability to connect the original deposit and the final withdrawal by examining only the source and destination chains.

Users receive the same asset they deposited: BTC users receive BTC and ETH users receive ETH. The temporary wallets and the Monero leg act as intermediary steps that separate visible activity on the source chain from activity on the destination chain.

Mixero’s product set includes Bitcoin mixing, Ethereum mixing, Tor access and Letters of Guarantee. The Advanced Mode expansion adds the Monero-based routing option to Ethereum flows, giving Ethereum users an additional privacy-layer alternative to simple address rotation.
