Where to spend Monero
Monero isn't just for holding. A growing list of shops and services take XMR, especially the ones that care about privacy.
The best thing about Monero is spending it, because that's where the privacy pays off. Here's where people use it.
Privacy tools
VPNs like Mullvad and IVPN take Monero. So do privacy-focused hosting companies and domain registrars like Njalla. Paying for privacy tools with private money just makes sense.
Gift cards
Gift card shops let you turn XMR into cards for big retailers, groceries, games and streaming. It's an easy bridge to the normal economy.
AI services
A few AI services now take crypto, and LateLune takes Monero for everything: AI companions, photos, voice and more. See our list of crypto AI services.
Hosting and servers
Plenty of VPS and hosting providers take Monero, especially the privacy-minded ones.
Finding more
Monero merchant directories list hundreds of shops by category. Search for "accepts Monero" plus what you need, and check the community's merchant lists.
