Bitcoin → Litecoin
Bitcoin in, native Litecoin out. A common reason to hold LTC is cheaper, faster transfers afterwards. Prepare a Litecoin address in your wallet before saving the order; the Bitcoin deposit still needs Bitcoin confirmations.

Why people swap Bitcoin for Litecoin
BTC to LTC is chosen by people who want a coin with low fees and fast confirmations for everyday transfers, gaming platforms, tipping or moving funds between exchanges. Litecoin has been around since 2011, is widely listed, and is often the cheapest way to shuttle value when Bitcoin fees spike. Some users also swap into LTC to use its MWEB privacy feature within their own wallet.
How long it takes
Allow ten to thirty minutes for the Bitcoin deposit to confirm, longer if you set a low fee. Processing is manual, then the Litecoin payout is sent and usually confirms within two to five minutes. Most orders finish within an hour, with the Bitcoin side setting the pace.
Wallet and address details
Send native BTC on the Bitcoin network. Receive to a Litecoin address from your wallet, usually starting with ltc1, L or M. Exodus, Trust Wallet, Cake Wallet, Litewallet and hardware wallets all provide one. Avoid MWEB addresses for the payout; use a standard address and move to MWEB yourself afterwards if you want to.
Fees at a realistic amount
Swapping 0.01 BTC worth about 1,000 USD: the standard service fee is 0.5%, so 5 USD, or the promotional rate if the widget shows one. Your Bitcoin wallet sets the deposit fee. The Litecoin payout fee is a few cents and is already deducted in the estimate you see before ordering.
Common mistakes on this route
- Pasting a Bitcoin address as the Litecoin receiving address.
- Sending from a Lightning wallet; the deposit address is on Bitcoin mainnet only.
- Choosing an exchange deposit address that flags Litecoin from unknown senders.
- Sending a lower amount than quoted because of the wallet fee.
