How to exchange LTC for XRP safely and at a good rate
Exchanging LTC for XRP is useful when you rebalance a portfolio or want to move from one network to another without buying stablecoins in between. At ROVEN exchange the coins are swapped directly, and the rate is locked when you create the order.
Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest Bitcoin forks, with blocks four times faster and low fees. XRP is the coin of the XRP Ledger, built for fast international payments between banks and people.
Why swap LTC for XRP
Shifting between LTC and XRP is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. XRP was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send LTC | You receive XRP | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Litecoin | XRP Ledger |
| Address | “ltc1…”, “L…” or “M…” | “r…”, 25–35 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes | a transfer confirms in 3–5 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- Send LTC on the Litecoin network only and allow time for confirmations.
- A new XRP address is activated only after it receives the 1 XRP reserve.
- If you’re receiving XRP to an exchange address, be sure to enter that exchange’s memo.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send LTC within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
