Can I Use Monero on Feshop?

As of most recent reports, Feshop  does not support Monero (XMR) as a payment method. It primarily operates using Bitcoin (BTC) due to its widespread availability and established infrastructure on darknet markets. However, this could change as privacy coins like Monero gain popularity among cybercriminals for their enhanced anonymity.

Why Bitcoin Is Still Common on Feshop

Although Bitcoin is not fully anonymous (all transactions are recorded on a public blockchain), it remains the default currency for most darknet platforms like Feshop because:

• It’s widely supported by wallet apps and exchanges

• Users are familiar with it

• Feshop’s infrastructure was built around BTC from the start

To “anonymize” Bitcoin, criminals often use mixing services (also called tumblers) to obfuscate transaction trails—though this is becoming less effective as blockchain analysis tools improve.

Why Cybercriminals Prefer Monero

Monero (XMR) is considered a privacy coin and is becoming the currency of choice for more advanced darknet marketplaces. Here's why:

• Untraceable transactions: Unlike Bitcoin, Monero hides sender, receiver, and amount.

• Stronger on-chain privacy: Built-in privacy features don’t require external mixers.

• Rising darknet adoption: Some marketplaces have shifted entirely to Monero.

However, Feshop has been slow to adopt it—possibly due to technical limitations, user resistance, or law enforcement pressure.

How Criminals Work Around It

Even without direct Monero support, cybercriminals may still use Monero in an indirect way:

1. Buy Monero on a privacy-friendly exchange

2. Convert Monero to Bitcoin using a decentralized swap service (e.g., SideShift, LocalMonero)

3. Send Bitcoin to Feshop after conversion

This method lets users gain some privacy benefits of Monero before funding their Feshop wallets with BTC.

Final Thoughts

Feshop currently operates primarily on Bitcoin, not Monero. While Monero offers better privacy, it's not yet widely supported across all darknet sites—Feshop included. Still, as privacy concerns and law enforcement pressure grow, future versions of Feshop (if it resurfaces or rebrands) may support Monero or other privacy coins.
