What Exolix is

Exolix is an instant swap service for cryptocurrencies. The website gives 2018 as its launch year; the announcement of the service on the Bitcointalk forum is dated 16 September 2019. No registration is required: you choose the pair, enter the wallet where you want to receive the funds, send the cryptocurrency to a deposit address and receive the other coin. Exolix describes itself as an aggregator: according to its anti-money-laundering policy it "provides an access to exchange services of independent third-party providers", in other words it carries out the swaps by relying on external exchanges. The rate can be floating or fixed; according to the terms of use, a fixed rate is guaranteed for 60 minutes from the creation of the exchange. Exolix states that it does not charge any additional fees: its cost is therefore included in the rate, and the amount to be received is shown before confirmation. In October 2024 the Xaman wallet integrated it for swaps to and from XRP. (Verified: October 2026)

Regulation and licences

(Verified: October 2026)

  • MiCA: NO — Exolix does not appear in the ESMA register of authorised crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), updated on 22 October 2026. Since 1 July 2026 these services have required MiCA authorisation in the European Union: anyone using Exolix from the EU remains outside the regulation's protections.
  • No licence declared: the terms of use and the anti-money-laundering policy, updated on 6 July 2026, name neither a company nor a supervisory authority.
  • Warnings: no blocking order from CONSOB (Italy's securities regulator) concerns Exolix or the exolix.com domain (notices from July 2019 to 23 October 2026).

Security

According to its FAQ, Exolix does not hold customers' deposits. During the exchange, however, the cryptocurrency sent to the deposit address leaves the user's control and, if checks are carried out, may remain blocked. There are no significant public incidents on record, such as hacks or insolvencies (Verified: October 2026).

The point to be aware of concerns checks. Although no account is needed to exchange, the anti-money-laundering policy updated on 6 July 2026 states that Exolix:

  • may suspend, delay, refuse or cancel a transaction until a check has been completed;
  • may ask for an identity document, a selfie, proof of residence and evidence of the source of funds and of ownership of the wallet;
  • analyses transactions and addresses with blockchain analytics tools and may report suspicious activity to the authorities, without being required to inform the user.

The third-party exchanges it relies on may also ask for documents. According to the terms of use, if a deposit is classified as suspicious and the user does not provide the information requested, Exolix guarantees neither the completion of the exchange nor a refund.

Headquarters and contacts

  • Company and headquarters: not stated. The terms of use, the anti-money-laundering policy and the frequently asked questions give neither a company name nor an address and list only email addresses as contacts (Verified: October 2026).
  • The Bratislava address (Pekná cesta 19) previously given in this profile could not be confirmed: a search on 26 October 2026 in the Slovak business register (ORSR), extended to historical data, found no company whose name contains "Exolix".

Alternatives

MiCA-authorised operators in the European Union (a verified account is required):

  • Bitstamp — MiCA licence from Luxembourg's CSSF (15 May 2025)
  • Crypto.com — MiCA licence from Malta's MFSA (27 January 2025)

FAQ

Is Exolix still active? Yes: as of 26 October 2026 the website is online, with terms of use and an anti-money-laundering policy updated on 6 July 2026. (Verified: October 2026)

Does Exolix require identity verification? For an ordinary exchange the website does not ask you to register. The anti-money-laundering policy, however, allows Exolix to ask for documents and evidence of the source of funds and to suspend the transaction until the check has been completed; the third-party exchanges it relies on may also ask for documents. (Verified: October 2026)

Is Exolix authorised in the European Union? No: it is not among the MiCA-authorised providers in the ESMA register. There are no CONSOB blocking orders on record, but anyone using it from any EU country does not enjoy the regulation's protections. (Verified: October 2026)
