Buy LitecoinSell Litecoin
Send LTC out of your own wallet and take something steadier back. Same mechanism as buying, running the other way.
Live feed, so the number moves. Network fees on both chains and the spread in the quote decide what finally lands.
How it runs
What happens when you sell LTC
Your Litecoin leaves your wallet as an ordinary on-chain payment to a one-time deposit address. Once it confirms, the coin you asked for goes out to the address you gave. There's no balance sitting anywhere in between and no account to close afterwards.
That's the part people get wrong when they picture selling. Nothing is being converted into money in a bank. You're trading one on-chain asset for another, and the second one lands in software you control, exactly like the first one left it.
Because Litecoin blocks target 2.5 minutes, the deposit side of a sale is usually the quick half. The wait then depends on the chain your payout is coming out on.
Where it usually lands
Why a stablecoin is the common pick
Most people who sell Litecoin want the number to stop moving. That's the whole point of the trade, and a dollar-pegged token is the closest thing to a pause button that stays on-chain.
Worth being precise about what you're holding, though. USDT tracks the US dollar, but it's a token issued by a company — not a dollar, and not a bank deposit. If that distinction matters to you, it should shape how long you leave funds sitting there.
The other thing to get right is the network. USDT lives on Ethereum, TRON, Solana and several more, and those chains don't talk to each other. Pick the one your receiving wallet actually supports, and read it twice. Sending to a chain the other side doesn't handle is the single most common way people lose USDT.
Two minutes, well spent
What to check before you send
-
The receiving address belongs to you
Copy it from the wallet's own receive screen, not from a message or a screenshot. If you're taking a token, make sure the wallet shows that exact token on that exact network.
-
Your LTC isn't sitting on MWEB
Litecoin's confidential layer uses addresses starting with ltcmweb1, and most services won't accept a deposit that comes from one. Move the coins to a normal address first, then start the swap.
-
The amount matches what the form asked for
Some services recalculate a mismatch on their own, others flag it for manual handling. Sending the stated amount saves you a support ticket either way.
-
You've picked fixed or floating on purpose
Fixed pins your payout now and costs a wider spread. Floating settles while the deposit confirms. For a sale you actually want to be done with, fixed removes the one variable you can't watch.
Questions
Questions about selling
Can I sell LTC without an account?
Yes — a swap has no account to begin with. You give a receiving address, send the Litecoin, and the payout goes out to you. Services still reserve the right to ask about individual transactions, particularly large ones.
What can I get back besides USDT?
Anything in the receive list: BTC, ETH, XMR, TRX or DOGE. A stablecoin is the usual choice because it holds its number, but if you're rotating into another coin rather than stepping out, pick that one directly and skip a hop.
How long does the payout take?
The Litecoin side confirms quickly thanks to 2.5-minute blocks. After that it's down to the chain you chose: a TRON payout moves in seconds, a Bitcoin one waits on ten-minute blocks.
I sent LTC from an MWEB address and nothing arrived. What now?
Contact the service with your transaction ID before doing anything else. Most won't credit an MWEB deposit at all, which is why the check belongs before you send rather than after.
Can I sell Litecoin straight into a bank account here?
No. What's on this page is a coin-for-coin swap: Litecoin goes out of your wallet, another on-chain asset comes back. Anything beyond that is a separate step somewhere else.
Going the other way instead?
If you're buying rather than selling, the main page has the full walkthrough — wallet formats, fees and the five steps.
