'''Altcoins''' are a type of [[Payment_methods|payment account]] on Bisq that use cryptocurrencies to settle BTC trades instead of legacy fiat-based payment methods.

Any altcoin can be traded on Bisq, theoretically, but the most active markets tend to be XMR, ETH, LTC (and of course [[BSQ]], but "altcoin" may not be a great term for it).

{{Admonition_Warn|There is currently an [https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/166 indefinite hold] on adding new altcoins to Bisq.}}

Some altcoins have special, specific requirements for trading. Make sure you read the in-application pop-ups and information, as well as the following articles:
* [[Trading BSQ]]
* [[Trading Monero]]
* [[Trading L-BTC]]
