Litecoin in, native Bitcoin out. Litecoin confirms in minutes, so the deposit is usually verified quickly. The BTC payout goes to a Bitcoin address; later Bitcoin fees depend on that network, not on Litecoin.

Why people swap Litecoin for Bitcoin
Litecoin to Bitcoin is popular with people who use LTC for cheap transfers between platforms and then want to settle into Bitcoin. It is also common after receiving LTC as payment, since many merchants and mining pools pay out in Litecoin. Because both coins share similar wallets and address styles, this swap is one of the simplest to get right.
How long it takes
Litecoin blocks arrive about every two and a half minutes, so the deposit usually confirms in five to fifteen minutes. After manual processing, the Bitcoin payout is sent and confirms with the next block, typically ten to thirty minutes. Most orders complete in under an hour.
Wallet and address details
Send LTC from a Litecoin wallet on the Litecoin network. Receive to a Bitcoin address; bc1q is the best choice for low future fees. Because some older Litecoin addresses start with 3 and look like Bitcoin addresses, double-check that the deposit address you send to is labelled Litecoin in your wallet, and that the receiving address you paste is labelled Bitcoin.
Fees at a realistic amount
Suppose you send 10 LTC worth about 1,000 USD. The standard 0.5% service fee is 5 USD, less during a promotion shown in the widget. Litecoin fees are a few cents and paid by your wallet. The Bitcoin payout fee is taken from the receive amount and depends on the mempool, often a dollar or two. The widget estimate already includes it.
Common mistakes on this route
- Sending Litecoin to a Bitcoin address or vice versa because the formats look similar.
- Withdrawing LTC from an exchange on a network other than Litecoin mainnet.
- Assuming a cheap Litecoin fee means a cheap Bitcoin spend later; Bitcoin network fees still apply when you move the BTC on.
- Sending MWEB Litecoin, which the deposit address cannot receive.

Native BTC on the Bitcoin network. Wrapped BTC and Lightning are not supported.
Litecoin fees are usually low, but the payout is native BTC on Bitcoin, so the Bitcoin network fee of your later spend still applies. Send LTC on Litecoin only; a Bitcoin wallet address cannot receive LTC, and a Litecoin address cannot receive the payout.
