I am publishing this to document my personal experience with GhostSwap and to help others make informed decisions. This post is based on my personal experience and publicly available blockchain data.

    Swap ID: 41gf6aamcb79iw8o
    Amount: 12.44100000 ETH
    Date: 24 May 2026
    My wallet: 0x8520cc42c1a3500e82c77079d345f5425ca4c907
    Transaction hash: 0xc22d4d100c5589179ee7c0808dea02cf034a9b5c92433eb1f2c4d0c7f27a71fe

    What happened:

        I sent 12.441 ETH to GhostSwap for a swap on 24 May 2026.

        The funds were received, but the swap has not been executed.

        I completed full KYC verification via SumSub and provided source-of-funds documentation.

        Since then, support has only responded with "no updates" and has not provided timelines or a resolution.

    Blockchain observation:

        The transaction flow shows that the funds were forwarded to an address associated with HitBTC.

        When I asked GhostSwap about this, they stated that HitBTC is not holding my funds.

        If this is correct, it raises questions about who currently has control over the funds and the execution path of the swap.

    Key inconsistencies:

        GhostSwap's marketing materials describe the service as "KYC-free by default" with most swaps processed without verification. In my case, full KYC was required and funds remain unresolved.

        Their Terms state that GhostSwap is non-custodial and does not hold user funds, yet my funds have been pending for over a month.

        Blockchain data indicates routing through a HitBTC-associated address, while GhostSwap denies custody or control at that stage.

        I requested disclosure of the licensed processing partner responsible for my transaction, but received no answer.

        I sent a formal request to both support and legal contacts, with no response so far.

    Actions I have taken:

        Completed KYC via SumSub (25 June 2026)

        Submitted source-of-funds documentation

        Submitted formal requests to support and legal contacts

        Filed public reports on Trustpilot and KYCnot.me

    My goal: To recover my 12.441 ETH or complete the requested swap.

    I will update this thread as the situation develops.

GhostSwap’s terms of use state that transactions are subject to automated AML screening. Before taking any claims of no KYC at face value you always have to read these terms to make sure that isn’t just some misleading marketing.

I believe the reason you encountered these problems is because your funds can be traced back to Tornado Cash. Going through cross-chain bridges before depositing to HitBTC/GhostSwap did not do enough to obfuscate the origin.

Update — July 10, 2026.
Since July 8, GhostSwap has stopped responding — both in private Telegram chat and here on the forum. That's 2 days of silence now.
Their last public statement here was on July 4: "we are actively working to resolve the issue... no confirmed estimated timeframe yet." Six days have passed since then with no further update.
Full KYC verification and all requested documents were submitted on June 25 — that's already more than 2 weeks ago.
My funds have been blocked since May 24 — nearly 7 weeks now.
I'll repeat my question to GhostSwap: if this is a "priority" case, as stated on July 4, why is there still no even approximate timeframe after 6 more days of silence?
