SD Bullion alternatives that accept crypto internationally (2026)
The strongest SD Bullion alternative for crypto-paying buyers outside the US is Ounceo — investment-grade gold and silver from LBMA mints, direct BTC + Monero + USDT + USDC + ETH acceptance, FedEx worldwide, no-KYC under $5,000 per order. SD Bullion's main gap for international buyers is the US-only restriction on crypto-paid orders and the absence of Monero support.

What SD Bullion does well
Aggressive US premiums on standard 1 oz silver coins (often the lowest in the US market), reliable domestic shipping, no-frills checkout.
The gaps
- US-only for crypto. Even if international shipping is technically available, the crypto checkout is gated to US addresses.
- No Monero. BitPay-based checkout doesn't support XMR.
- ID requests at modest thresholds. US-state reporting obligations trigger earlier than EU thresholds.
Frequently asked questions
Why look for an SD Bullion alternative?+
SD Bullion offers some of the lowest US premiums but restricts crypto checkout to US shipping addresses only and does not accept Monero. International buyers and XMR holders are excluded.
Are alternatives cheaper than SD Bullion?+
Comparable on price for standard 1 oz coins. Ounceo often beats SD Bullion's effective price after the Lightning (0.5%) or Monero (1.5%) discount, but SD Bullion's lowest-volume promotions are aggressive.
Who ships SD-Bullion-equivalent products internationally?+
Ounceo ships to 60+ countries via FedEx, no US-only restriction on crypto orders. APMEX has some international lanes but reports of ID requests at low thresholds.
