How the swap works
-
Type the LTC amount and paste your USD Coin payout address on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast LTC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, USDC is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Litecoin typically needs a few confirmations before the swap continues.
- Blocks target 2.5 minutes β still subject to mempool delays.
- Use a standard Litecoin mainnet address (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address formats supported on most routes).
- If USDC has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
Litecoin β 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 β 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.
USD Coin β issued dollar stablecoin
USDC on Ethereum mainnet is a widely trusted stablecoin for DeFi and transfers β always use ERC-20 on Ethereum unless stated otherwise.
USDC not credited?
Verify your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and the token contract matches official USDC on Ethereum.
When will USDC arrive?
ERC-20 USDC payouts follow Ethereum block times β usually minutes after your deposit confirms.
- Confirm your wallet is set to Ethereum mainnet, not Polygon, Base, or another L2.
- Add the official USDC token contract in your wallet if the balance does not appear automatically.
- Check the payout tx hash on Etherscan if your wallet shows no incoming transfer.
Why traders swap into USDC
USDC is widely used in DeFi and on exchanges that prefer a regulated dollar stablecoin.
On Ethereum mainnet it pairs naturally with ETH gas and most ERC-20 trading pairs.

Frequently asked questions
Does LTC to USDC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Litecoin to USD Coin.
How long until USDC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Litecoin mainnet deposit confirmations and ERC-20 on Ethereum payout time set the wait.
Do you hold LTC or USDC for me?
No. You send LTC from a wallet you control and USDC is paid to the address you provide β PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send LTC on the wrong chain?
Use Litecoin mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
