Swap Litecoin (LTC) to Tether (USDT)
Swapping Litecoin (LTC) to Tether (USDT) moves value from a payments-focused coin into a dollar-pegged stablecoin without selling on a custodial exchange. You send native LTC to the provider's deposit address and receive USDT on the network you choose, straight to your own wallet.
How to swap Litecoin for Tether
To swap Litecoin (LTC) for Tether (USDT), enter the amount you want to send and compare the live provider quotes shown by Monivo.

- 1. Enter the amount of LTC to swap.
- 2. Paste your Tether wallet address.
- 3. Pick a fixed or floating rate.
- 4. Send LTC to the one-time deposit address.

LTC → USDT routing details
Monivo requests quotes from every connected liquidity provider for this route and shows the one that pays out the most USDT. The amount shown is an estimate that depends on the rate type you pick and the provider's own terms; it is confirmed in the widget above before you send anything, with zero added fees on top of the rate you see. The selected provider receives your deposit and settles the payout.

Fixed rate or floating rate for LTC → USDT?
Fixed rate
The USDT amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your LTC deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote as long as you send on time and within the quoted limits. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.
Floating rate
The swap executes at the market rate when your LTC deposit lands. It can pay out more USDT than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.
What to check before swapping LTC to USDT
On LTC to USDT, the two choices that matter are the USDT network and sending from the right Litecoin address type.
- Pick the USDT network first
- USDT runs on several chains, such as Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20) and others the quote lists. Choose the network your receiving wallet supports, then paste an address for that same network.
- Send native LTC
- Litecoin addresses usually start with L, M or ltc1. Send from a wallet or exchange that withdraws on the Litecoin network itself.
- Compare the USDT payout, not the headline rate
- Judge quotes by the estimated USDT you receive and read the fixed or floating terms. A floating estimate can move while your deposit confirms; a fixed quote has an expiry.

Network fees explained
Sending LTC
Your Litecoin wallet sets the LTC network fee when it broadcasts the deposit. Send native LTC on the Litecoin network — not a wrapped LTC token on another chain.
Receiving USDT
The provider pays the USDT payout transaction. To move USDT later you need the gas token of the network you picked: TRX for TRC-20, ETH for ERC-20.
Best wallets for USDT
- TronLink. Native Tron wallet for TRC-20 USDT.
- MetaMask. Receives ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum and other EVM networks.
- Trust Wallet. Mobile wallet supporting many networks, including ERC-20 and TRC-20.
- Ledger. Hardware-backed storage for larger balances.
Verify the destination address and network before confirming — crypto transfers are irreversible.

What's the minimum LTC to USDT swap?

Which USDT network should I receive on?
Pick the network your receiving wallet supports, such as Tron or Ethereum, and paste an address for that network. Each network has its own address format and future transfer costs.

Yes, if the exchange withdraws native Litecoin and sends the exact quoted amount before expiry. Exchange withdrawal fees reduce what arrives, so check the amount that reaches the deposit address.
