Litecoin to Bitcoin is a UTXO-to-UTXO swap: LTC in, native BTC out. No KYC. Litecoin blocks are ~2.5 minutes, so the deposit leg is usually faster than Bitcoin-first pairs.
Typical Standard time is about 10–20 minutes: LTC confirms quickly, then Bitcoin payout broadcasts on BTC L1. During high Bitcoin mempool fees, the BTC send may wait for a sensible fee rate.
Use a Bitcoin receive address (bc1, 1, or 3). Litecoin addresses are not interchangeable with Bitcoin — paste from an LTC wallet on send and a BTC wallet on receive.
0.5% Standard / 1% Private Swap plus LTC and BTC miner fees. Reverse: BTC→LTC. For privacy instead of BTC: LTC→XMR.
Want no intermediary at all? The THORChain route swaps LTC to BTC directly through decentralised liquidity pools: no KYC, no AML screening, nothing anyone can freeze, automatic on-chain refunds. 1% fee — select THORChain in the widget.
From your Litecoin wallet
Send LTC from any wallet you control — Litewallet, Exodus, Electrum-LTC, Ledger or another self-custody wallet. You never connect a wallet to Swap.bz: the widget gives you a one-time deposit address and you send LTC to it like a normal transfer. Network: Litecoin. Litecoin addresses start with L, M or ltc1. MWEB (private) addresses are not supported for deposits.
Receiving Bitcoin: address and network
Paste a BTC address from a wallet you control (Sparrow, Electrum, BlueWallet, Ledger or Trezor…). Payout network: Bitcoin (on-chain). Native BTC on the Bitcoin network only. Lightning invoices and wrapped bitcoin (WBTC, cbBTC, BTCB) are different assets. Set the refund address at the same time: it must be a LTC address, on the network you send from.

Can I swap LTC to BTC without any AML screening?
Yes — pick THORChain in the widget. LTC goes to a THORChain vault with a memo, on-chain pools swap it and the network pays your BTC address. No company in the middle, no screening, nothing to freeze; failed swaps are refunded to the sending address by the protocol. 1% fee, send from a wallet you control.
Can I swap LTC to BTC from Litewallet?
