Everyone talks about BTC to XMR like it is the only road into Monero. It is the famous one, sure. But it makes you pay Bitcoin miners real money and wait roughly 20 minutes for 2 confirmations before anything happens. Litecoin does the same job for a few cents and confirms in about 10. If the goal is simply to end up holding XMR, the quiet route is often the better one.
The privacy gap between the two coins is the whole point of the trip. Litecoin, like Bitcoin, is a transparent ledger: every payment you have ever made sits in public, forever, ready to be clustered and labeled by anyone with a block explorer. Monero hides the sender with ring signatures, the receiver with stealth addresses, and the amount with confidential transactions. Not as a feature you remember to enable. As the default, every time, since 2014.
Getting XMR the old way meant a big exchange, and the big exchanges have been showing Monero the door. Binance delisted it in 2024 and Kraken pulled it for European customers the same year, not because the protocol broke but because privacy coins make compliance departments sweat. So the LTC to XMR trade now mostly lives on instant exchangers like this one.
Which suits the pair fine. No account, no order book, no permission slip. Paste a Monero address, send one Litecoin payment, and the card has already shown you what arrives, our flat 2% spread and the network fee included, locked the moment you create the swap. Most swaps on this pair finish in 10 to 25 minutes.
Confirmation counts and minimums above are the live values our exchange engine uses, not marketing copy. Block times are network averages and can vary.
Choose how much LTC you are sending. The card quotes your XMR payout with the spread and network fee already counted in. Paste the Monero address the payout should land at, plus an optional LTC refund address in case the swap cannot complete.
You get a deposit address on the Litecoin network. Send your LTC to it from any wallet, in one payment of at least 0.05 LTC. No account, no email, nothing to install.
Your deposit needs 4 confirmations on Litecoin, about 10 minutes. We screen it before the exchange starts, then send XMR to your address and post the transaction hash on your order page.
The hop coin tradition. People who want Monero often start at an exchange that refuses to sell it, so the playbook became: buy a liquid coin, withdraw, swap. Litecoin won the job of middle leg years ago because exchange withdrawal fees on LTC are tiny, the network fee is cents, and 4 confirmations take about 10 minutes instead of Bitcoin's 20. The boring coin turns out to be the best courier.
Transparent ledgers keep diaries. Your LTC history is public: who paid you, when, how much, and which addresses cluster together. Reading it requires no subpoena, just patience and a browser tab. Moving savings into Monero does not delete the old diary, nothing can do that, but it stops new entries from being written where strangers can read them.
Cash for the internet. Plenty of people hold a fast transparent coin for everyday payments and a private one for everything they would rather not publish. LTC for the coffee, XMR for the things that are nobody's business. The swap between those two roles takes one payment in each direction, and we handle both ends of it.
Delistings rerouted the market rather than shrinking it. When the listings disappeared, XMR volume moved to peer-to-peer markets and instant exchangers, which is the structural reason this page exists at all. The corridor needed a rail that does not depend on a listing committee staying brave, and a one-payment swap is exactly that.
We launched CoinVast in 2026 with screening that runs before the exchange starts, never during. Your Litecoin either proceeds at the quoted terms or returns to your refund address. No mid-swap freezes, no surprise passport requests once your coins are already in flight. On a pair where privacy is the entire point, that ordering matters double.
Plan for 10 to 25 minutes. The Litecoin deposit needs 4 confirmations, about 10 minutes at one block every 2.5 minutes. The exchange runs in seconds, and the Monero payout usually appears in your wallet within a couple of minutes of being sent. One honest footnote: Monero itself locks incoming funds for 10 confirmations, roughly 20 more minutes, before you can spend them. That rule is built into Monero, not into us.
Cost and waiting. A Bitcoin deposit needs 2 confirmations at 10-minute blocks, call it 20 minutes, and the miner fee is real money when the chain is busy. Litecoin confirms its 4 blocks in about 10 minutes and the fee is pocket change. If your funds already sit in BTC, use the Bitcoin pair and skip an extra hop. But if you are choosing which coin to carry to Monero, LTC is the cheaper courier.
In most countries, yes. Owning and trading Monero is legal in the US, most of Europe, and most of the world. A few jurisdictions, Japan and South Korea among them, pushed their exchanges to drop privacy coins, and local rules differ, so knowing yours is on you. On our side, every deposit is screened before the exchange begins, and anything linked to sanctions is rejected rather than traded.
Any wallet where you hold the keys. The official GUI and CLI wallets are the reference, Feather is a quick desktop option, and Cake Wallet or Monerujo cover phones. Your main address starts with a 4 and subaddresses start with an 8; either works as the payout target. Avoid pointing the payout at a custodial service that might not credit XMR, and give a fresh wallet a few minutes to sync before worrying about the balance.
No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no KYC under the screening threshold. You paste an address, send one payment, and bookmark the order page, which is your receipt and tracker in one. Screening happens before the exchange begins: pass and the swap proceeds, fail and your Litecoin returns to your refund address minus the network fee. A completed swap is final.
0.05 LTC. Below that, network fees eat a share of the swap that stops making sense. There is no account tier and no upper limit wired into the card, though unusually large swaps can get a human look before the exchange starts, never after. First time here? Send something small just above the minimum and judge us on the receipts.
Fixed. The card quotes one rate, a flat 2% spread over the mid-market price, and locks it the moment you create the swap. Your Litecoin takes about 10 minutes to confirm, but the rate does not drift in that window: the number you saw is the number you get. There is no floating option and no separate tier to pick between. The spread is printed up front, every time.
Setting it up takes under a minute. The blockchain handles the rest.
