How to exchange XRP for LTC safely and at a good rate
Exchanging XRP for LTC 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.
XRP is the coin of the XRP Ledger, built for fast international payments between banks and people. Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest Bitcoin forks, with blocks four times faster and low fees.
Why swap XRP for LTC
Shifting between XRP and LTC is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. Litecoin was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send XRP | You receive LTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | XRP Ledger | Litecoin |
| Address | “r…”, 25–35 characters | “ltc1…”, “L…” or “M…” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in 3–5 seconds | a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Required, from the order | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- When sending XRP, be sure to include the destination tag from the order.
- A Litecoin address starts with “ltc1”, “L” or “M”; it’s best to avoid legacy “3…” addresses.
- When sending XRP, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send XRP within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On XRP Ledger, a transfer confirms in 3–5 seconds; on Litecoin, a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes. The whole XRP to LTC swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
