Spread is the latest reading, shown as what crossing it costs on one XMR and as a share of the mid in basis points; the median column is over the last 24 hours. Depth is the notional value of resting orders within 1% of the mid on each side, converted to US dollars. Slippage is what a market buy of that size would pay above the mid on the book we read, and is blank where the visible book could not fill it.

  • KuCoin (XMR/USDT): Quoted in USDT, counted at one US dollar. The 1% band runs past the last level the venue served, so depth is reported as not measured.
  • MEXC (XMR/USDT): Quoted in USDT, counted at one US dollar.

Method

Pairs are fixed per venue so each series measures the same book over time: the quote currency is chosen once, preferring US dollars, then dollar stablecoins, then euros or the venue's home currency. A non-dollar book's depth is converted using that book's own mid against XMR's snapshot US dollar price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which exchange has the tightest XMR spread?
KuCoin, at $0.12 per XMR (2.27 bps) on XMR/USDT as of the sample taken 1 hour ago. Spreads move, so this page is re-measured every two hours.
Does a tighter spread mean XMR is cheaper to buy there?
Only in part. The spread is one of three costs: the trading fee, the spread you cross, and the deposit or card fee that got your money onto the venue. The fee pages put all three together for a given purchase size, and use the measured spread on this page wherever we have one.
What does 1% depth tell me?
It is the dollar value of orders resting within 1% of the mid price on one side of the book. A venue with a tight spread but shallow depth will still move against a large order — which is why the table also shows what $500, $5,000 and $50,000 market buys would pay.
