## Bitcoin to Litecoin: faster blocks and optional MWEB privacy

BTC to LTC is used by people who want a coin that confirms faster and costs less to send, for payments, for moving funds between their own wallets, or for merchants and payment processors that accept Litecoin. Litecoin began as a fork of Bitcoin's code, so the addresses look alike but are not interchangeable: Litecoin uses ltc1, L and M. The LTC is paid to the address you enter, with no account.

Most of the wait is the Bitcoin deposit, which usually needs 10 to 30 minutes (one to three confirmations), so most swaps take 20 to 60 minutes. After that, Litecoin's 2.5-minute blocks confirm the payout fast. Litecoin also offers MWEB (MimbleWimble Extension Blocks), an opt-in layer that hides amounts and recipient addresses for coins you move into it.

### Tips

- Paste a Litecoin address starting with ltc1, L or M from Nexus Wallet, Exodus or a Ledger.
- Send BTC from your own wallet and enter that address as the sender address. Pick a normal network fee so the deposit does not wait in the mempool.
- Use a regular Litecoin address for the payout, not an MWEB address (ltcmweb1). You can move the LTC into MWEB from your wallet once it has arrived.

### Do I need an account to swap BTC for LTC?

No. A standard swap runs without an account, and no email or ID is asked for. Paste your Litecoin address, check the floating rate shown before you send and send the BTC; if the swap cannot complete, the refund goes back to your Bitcoin sender address.

### Can the LTC be paid straight into MWEB?

Enter a regular Litecoin address for the payout. Once the LTC has arrived, a wallet with MWEB support, such as Litecoin Core or Cake Wallet, can move it into MWEB with a peg-in transaction.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap BTC to LTC on GhostSwap?

Most BTC to LTC swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin, then the LTC is sent to your wallet, and Litecoin confirms the payout in about 10 minutes (blocks every 2.5 minutes). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 BTC in LTC?

At 3 Oct 2026, 17:50 UTC, 1 BTC swapped to about 1,215.52 LTC on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.00036 BTC. The rate floats with the market until your BTC deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange BTC to LTC?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Litecoin address that should receive the LTC, send BTC from your own wallet, and the LTC goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin to Litecoin?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the LTC amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Bitcoin network fee for your deposit is paid in BTC by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive LTC?

To receive Litecoin from your swap, we recommend using Nexus Wallet, Exodus or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Litecoin network before starting the exchange. Double-check your LTC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the LTC address?

Use a Litecoin address: it starts with ltc1, L or M. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my BTC to LTC swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your BTC payment on mempool.space (https://mempool.space) and your incoming LTC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/litecoin).

### Is it safe to exchange BTC for LTC on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BTC deposit is converted and the LTC is sent straight to the Litecoin address you enter, so check that address twice — Litecoin transfers cannot be reversed.

### How does a cross-chain BTC to LTC swap work?

Bitcoin lives on Bitcoin and Litecoin on Litecoin, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BTC on Bitcoin and pays native LTC on Litecoin, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my BTC to LTC exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the BTC is refunded to the Bitcoin address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
