How the swap works
-
Type the LTC amount and paste your Tether payout address on TRC-20 on Tron.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast LTC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, USDT 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 — still subject to mempool delays.
- Use a standard Litecoin mainnet address (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address formats supported on most routes).
- If USDT 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 — 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.
Tether — USD-pegged stablecoin
USDT tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers — always pick the chain listed on the order (TRC-20, ERC-20, and others are not the same).
Receiving USDT on the correct chain
Your wallet must support the exact USDT network listed on the order.
If funds were sent on the wrong chain, recovery may not be possible — verify before you send.
When will USDT arrive?
Most TRC-20 payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms.
- Check the order page for a payout transaction hash before opening a support ticket.
- Refresh or resync your wallet if the balance has not updated after a few minutes.
- Tron confirmations are typically much faster than Bitcoin or Ethereum mainnet.
Why traders swap into USDT
USDT offers dollar-like stability without leaving crypto — useful between trades or during volatile markets.
TRC-20 USDT on Tron keeps transfer fees low, making it a common destination after swapping from BTC, ETH, or alt L1s.

Frequently asked questions
Does LTC to USDT require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Litecoin to Tether.
How long until USDT arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Litecoin mainnet deposit confirmations and TRC-20 on Tron payout time set the wait.
Do you hold LTC or USDT for me?
No. You send LTC from a wallet you control and USDT is paid to the address you provide — 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 — read the swap safety notes first.
