Nexus is our top pick for 2026. It's an English-language Tor market that gets the boring stuff right. Onboarding takes minutes. The captcha shows the real onion address so you can compare what you typed against what they printed. The admins sign their mirror list with a key you can verify on Dread. And it takes BTC, LTC, and XMR, which covers what most buyers actually want to pay with.
Anubis takes more coins than anybody else on this list. BTC, LTC, ETH, and XMR. If you're paying in Ethereum on a Tor market this is roughly your only option. Use XMR for privacy, BTC for old vendors who haven't moved on yet, the others when they fit.
If your priority is what Nexus Market is best at, «Best overall English-language pick», pick Nexus Market. If your priority lines up with Anubis Market, «Best for multi-coin payments», pick Anubis Market. Both are on this list because they clear the same five checkpoints, so the choice is about fit, not safety.
