Mixero Adds Monero Routing for BTC and ETH Privacy

Mixero, a crypto privacy service for public blockchains, has expanded its Advanced Mode to add Monero-based routing for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The platform supports BTC→XMR→BTC and ETH→XMR→ETH flows. Users deposit BTC or ETH and ultimately receive the same asset type on a newly created receiving address.

The routing uses an XMR bridge and temporary auto-generated wallets between legs of the route. Funds move into Monero, are converted back to the original asset, and are sent to a fresh receiving address. The intermediate wallets are intended to limit straightforward heuristics that link an incoming deposit to an outgoing payout.

Monero’s protocol hides certain transaction details by default. Ring signatures mix a spent output with others so observers cannot easily tell which output was spent. Stealth addresses create one-time destination addresses for each payment. Ring Confidential Transactions conceal amounts. Routing BTC or ETH through Monero inserts a privacy layer that is not visible on Bitcoin or Ethereum ledgers.

Account activity on Ethereum can show token approvals, swaps, stablecoin transfers and NFT purchases in public explorers. Mixero’s Monero routing applies the same privacy path used for Bitcoin to Ethereum flows to add separation between deposit activity and final outputs.

Mixero’s product lineup includes Bitcoin and Ethereum mixing, Tor access and Letters of Guarantee. The Monero routing is available as an option in Advanced Mode. The company provided technical details about the route and wallet generation but did not include a specific launch date or user limits in its announcement.
