Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much LTC to send and enter your Ripple address on XRP Ledger.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer LTC to the address on your order — after confirmations, XRP is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Litecoin typically needs a few confirmations before the swap continues.
- Blocks target 2.5 minutes — still subject to mempool delays.
- Use a standard Litecoin mainnet address (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address formats supported on most routes).
- XRP not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Litecoin — Bitcoin's first fork
Litecoin (LTC) is a 2011 Bitcoin fork created by Charlie Lee, with early input from other developers including a former Google engineer. It keeps peer-to-peer transfers but targets faster blocks and lower everyday fees. Traders often call it "digital silver."
The speed and fees of the Litecoin blockchain
When you fund a swap with LTC, ~2.5-minute blocks help deposits confirm sooner than on many busier chains.
Typical fees stay low — about 0.0004 LTC (~$0.02 at current prices). Leave a little extra for the miner fee so the full amount you intend to send reaches the deposit address.
Litecoin address formats
If a send fails, your wallet may be using an unsupported address type for this route.
Contact support with your order ID before retrying on a different format.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
XRP payout delays
If XRP is missing, verify destination tag requirements and that your wallet supports the XRP Ledger mainnet.
When will XRP arrive?
XRP Ledger settlements are among the fastest in crypto — often seconds after your deposit confirms.
- Check whether your receiving wallet requires a destination tag and that you entered it on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet needs a minimum balance to activate the account.
- Use the payout tx hash on an XRP Ledger explorer if your wallet balance has not updated.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap LTC to XRP?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Litecoin to Ripple swaps.
How long does LTC to XRP take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Litecoin mainnet and XRP Ledger confirmations and current network load.
Is LTC to XRP non-custodial?
Yes. You send LTC from your wallet and receive XRP directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send LTC on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Litecoin mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
