Convert LTC to BTC
Exchange LTC to BTC
Exchanging Litecoin (LTC) for Bitcoin (BTC) on AlfaBit works from your account balance: you see the rate and the amount you will receive before confirming, and the BTC you receive is credited to the same balance. It is a direct swap between two coins without buying a stablecoin in between — fewer steps than going through USDT.
Why exchange LTC to BTC
LTC is exchanged once it has done its job as a "transport" coin and the funds should sit in a stablecoin or bitcoin. BTC is bought as a long-term store of value: capped supply and the deepest liquidity on the market make it the base asset of a portfolio.
How to exchange LTC to BTC
- Sign in to your AlfaBit account and top up your LTC balance if it is empty.
- In the exchange form choose LTC to give and BTC to receive — on this page the pair is already selected.
- Enter the amount in LTC or the amount you want in BTC, then check the rate and the total you will receive.
- Confirm the exchange while the quoted rate is valid — the BTC will appear on your account balance.
Litecoin (LTC)
Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies, created in 2011 as a "lighter" version of bitcoin. Blocks on Litecoin come more often than on Bitcoin, so transfers confirm faster and fees are usually lower. LTC supply is capped at 84 million coins. The coin is often used for payments and moving funds between platforms.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, launched in 2009. Supply is capped at 21 million coins and new coins are issued ever more slowly, which is why bitcoin is often called "digital gold". BTC is the core asset for long-term crypto savings and the benchmark the market uses to value other coins.
