Litecoin is cheap to send and public to read. Send it here and it lands as Monero, which isn't.
Market rate on 5 Nov 2026, 17:01 UTC, refreshed every 15 minutes.
Litecoin works like Bitcoin with shorter blocks and smaller fees, which makes it a common way to pay and get paid. It also keeps Bitcoin's open ledger: amounts and addresses are public.
Swapping it for Monero keeps the cheap part and drops the public part. Your LTC deposit counts after 6 confirmations on Litecoin, about 15 minutes, then the XMR lands in your Monero wallet.
Litecoin has an optional private extension, MWEB. Payouts can't go to MWEB addresses, but your deposit here comes from a regular Litecoin address, the kind most wallets use anyway.
LTC: Litecoin is public like Bitcoin: amounts and addresses are on the ledger.
XMR: Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of every payment by default.
Unless you used MWEB, your Litecoin deposit is as public as a Bitcoin one. The Monero side keeps what follows to itself.
