Non-custodial no-KYC crypto exchanges

7 exchanges here are non-custodial - your coins sit in multisig escrow you control, not with the platform. RoboSats rates highest. Custody is where exchanges freeze funds. A non-custodial design (multisig or Lightning escrow) means the platform cannot unilaterally seize or freeze your coins, even if it demands something later.

LocalCoinSwap

4.0 /10

A non-custodial P2P marketplace you can trade on with just a username and a wallet - but it reserves the right to demand ID "at its sole discretion," carries a UK FCA warning, and draws recurring surprise-KYC complaints.

Haveno (RetoSwap network)

3.0 /10

Monero-native, non-custodial P2P over Tor, with no ID ever. But "Haveno" is a framework: you actually trade on an independent network (mainly RetoSwap) - and that network was exploited twice in 2026.

Non-custodial — questions

What is a non-custodial exchange?

One that never takes control of your funds. Trades settle through multisig or Lightning escrow that requires your key, so the platform cannot move your coins on its own - a strong protection against freezes and exit scams.
