## Litecoin to Bitcoin: what to know before you swap

LTC to BTC converts Litecoin into Bitcoin. Litecoin is often used as a fast, cheap way to move value, and swapping it to BTC is a common last step to hold savings in Bitcoin. No account is needed; the BTC is paid to your own address.

Litecoin blocks arrive about every 2.5 minutes, so the deposit confirms quickly; the BTC payout then confirms in roughly 10-minute blocks.

### Tips

- Bitcoin addresses start with bc1, 3 or 1.
- Litecoin addresses start with ltc1, L or M. Use your own LTC address as the sender address.
- LTC network fees are low, so even small swaps are practical.

### Can I swap LTC to BTC without KYC?

Yes. GhostSwap needs no account or ID. Paste your Bitcoin address and send the Litecoin deposit.

### How long does LTC to BTC take?

Usually well under an hour: the Litecoin deposit confirms in minutes, then the BTC payout is sent.

## FAQ

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

Most LTC to BTC swaps finish in 15–35 minutes. Your LTC deposit needs about 10 minutes (blocks every 2.5 minutes) to confirm on Litecoin; after that the BTC is sent to your wallet and Bitcoin confirms it in 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much BTC do I get for 25 LTC?

At 2 Oct 2026, 08:10 UTC, 25 LTC swapped to about 0.020044 BTC on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the BTC network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send.

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Bitcoin from your swap, we recommend using Electrum, Sparrow Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. Make sure your wallet supports the Bitcoin network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BTC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the BTC address?

Use a Bitcoin address: it starts with bc1, 3 or 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my LTC to BTC 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 LTC payment on Litecoin Space (https://litecoinspace.org) and your incoming BTC on Mempool.space (https://mempool.space).

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

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

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

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the LTC is refunded to the Litecoin 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.
