How to swap BTC to LTC, step by step
Step 1
Pick the BTC → LTC pair
Select BTC as the asset you're sending and LTC as the asset you want to receive. Confirm the network on each side — LTC on the wrong network can mean lost funds.
Step 2
Get a live aggregated quote
SwapRocket polls every connected provider and shows the best BTC/LTC output for your amount, including the network fee and the exact LTC you'll receive.
Step 3
Paste your LTC wallet address
Enter the wallet that should receive your LTC. Double-check the first and last 6 characters — it must be a valid Litecoin address.
Step 4
Choose fixed or floating rate
Use a fixed rate to lock the BTC/LTC rate (~10 min), or a floating rate to settle at the market price when your deposit confirms.
Step 5
Send your BTC deposit
Send the exact BTC amount to the one-time deposit address shown. BTC typically confirms within 10–30 minutes.
Step 6
Receive your LTC
Once confirmed, the swap executes automatically and LTC is pushed directly to your wallet — no withdrawal step.

Fees, rates, and staying safe
A BTC→LTC swap carries two costs: the Bitcoin network fee and the spread the provider builds into the quote. Aggregated routing shows the total LTC you'll get before you commit, so judge the net payout rather than the advertised rate. A fixed rate locks in the price before you deposit; a floating rate settles at market price once your deposit is confirmed. Always double-check the destination network and the first and last six characters of your LTC address before sending.
