Hi there, I was wondering if it would be in the roadmap for bisq to offer fiat-xmr exchange directly, instead of having to do fiat-btc then btc-xmr. As I don’t have any interest or need for btc; I only use bisq to ultimately buy xmr.

Several users are interested in this… it is not in the roadmap though, even if it could be in theory possible to allow fiat-altcoin trades where the security deposit amount alone is still in bitcoin.  
It is something that will likely be only considered after all the steps in the bisq2 roadmap are completed.

The completely straightforward response to your question is that Bisq is a Bitcoin-based exchange by design, so all trades will always be centred around Bitcoin.

There does exist another similar anonymous and decentralized exchange that uses XMR as a base currency, which is what would you seem to be looking for. Unfortunately this is not the appropriate place to ask about that

Both me and the Ubertus team are also interested in using either Bisq 1 or 2 for direct Fiat-XMR exchanges

In the future, if Bisq is both interested and ready, if needed, both me and the Ubertus team would be happy to contribute testing Fiat-XMR.

Bisq recently updated and related road map about XMR, which is one of the most active markets on Bisq at [Trading Monero - Bisq Wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Trading_Monero) or at [https://archive.ph/x5sPN](https://archive.ph/x5sPN)

For those not familiar with Monero (XMR). It is one of the most popular cryptos. With the third-largest group of developers. Also, XMR as by far the strongest privacy.
