How to exchange Litecoin (LTC) to Bitcoin (BTC)
- 01 Enter the amount and your Bitcoin address.
- 02 Send Litecoin in one transaction, from an exchange or your own wallet.
- 03 Get Bitcoin on your address, usually after a few confirmations.
Turn spare change into your reserve
Litecoin tends to pile up as leftovers from cheap transfers. This moves it into the coin you actually treat as savings.
Cheap to send in
Litecoin network fees are low, so getting your coins into the exchange doesn't eat into the amount you're converting.
Rate locked before you send
We price your order the moment you create it. The rate doesn't drift while your Litecoin is on its way.
No account, straight to your wallet
No sign-up. Bitcoin lands on the address you give us - we don't hold onto it.
Send LTC only on the Litecoin network, from an exchange or a wallet that supports it - addresses usually start with L, M, or ltc1. For receiving, give a standard Bitcoin address on the BTC mainnet. Both chains need a handful of block confirmations before the exchange moves forward - that's normal, not a stall. This pair is a consolidation trade: Litecoin tends to pile up from quick, cheap transfers, while the place people want to keep value is Bitcoin. Addresses on the two networks can look alike, so make sure the receiving field holds a Bitcoin address rather than a Litecoin one. The rate is fixed when the order is created and does not drift en route. Exact rate, minimum, and maximum are shown live in the swap form. The exchange starts after 6 confirmations on Litecoin — usually about 15 min.

FAQ
Do I need to register anywhere?
Nowhere, for nothing: there are no accounts here. Enter the amount, add a Bitcoin address, send Litecoin - that is the whole bar, with no email to confirm. We put no checks on the person swapping: automated screening weighs the funds only. A deposit that cannot be cleared returns to the sender address, which stays under your control.
How quickly does LTC turn into BTC here?
The Litecoin network sets the opening pace: moderately fast, its confirmations arrive well ahead of the rhythm Bitcoin keeps, so the deposit is counted without a long wait. The payout then depends on the Bitcoin network - deliberate by nature, its confirmations take most of the time. We will not promise a number; the order status shows the current stage.
What if I send on the wrong network?
Send Litecoin only on the Litecoin network, and give us a Bitcoin address for receiving. If something looks off, message @swappsy and we'll sort it out by hand.
Is this safe? Do you hold my coins?
We don't custody your funds. Litecoin passes through the exchange and Bitcoin goes straight to your address - nothing sits with us.
What kind of address should I give for the BTC?
A regular address on the Bitcoin network: BTC is a standalone coin on its own chain, not a token somewhere else. Take it from a wallet that handles Bitcoin and re-check it after pasting. Litecoin addresses can look similar at a glance, but that is a different network.
What if the exchange doesn't go through - do I get a refund?
If your deposit arrives but the swap can't complete normally, your funds aren't lost. Message @swappsy, we'll look into it and either refund you or finish the exchange manually. For the return, leaving a Litecoin address is enough - the coins ride back there and are entirely yours again.
What's the minimum amount, and are there hidden fees?
The exact minimum and rate are live in the swap form. No hidden fees on top - what's shown is what you get.
