About Litecoin
What Litecoin is, and why people buy it
Litecoin is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies still running: a Bitcoin-derived network launched in 2011 with faster blocks, a larger supply, and a different mining algorithm, designed from the start to be the everyday-payments counterpart to Bitcoin's store of value. It has processed transactions continuously for well over a decade and is accepted by a wide range of merchants and payment processors.
People buy LTC to send money cheaply and quickly, to hold a long-established large-cap crypto asset with a fixed supply, and as a lower-priced way to own a proof-of-work coin with a track record. Since 2022 it has also offered optional privacy for transactions through its MWEB extension.
Buy Litecoin from Coin Nerds, or sell it to us, online and across branch counters. Every purchase settles at the live market rate on this page and is delivered to your own Litecoin wallet within minutes of your payment clearing.
How to store Litecoin
Litecoin is delivered to any Litecoin wallet you control: a hardware wallet such as a Ledger or Trezor for larger amounts, or a reputable mobile or desktop wallet for everyday use. Modern Litecoin addresses start with ltc1. Write down the recovery phrase and keep it offline. A real person is on chat if you have questions before your first order.
- Ticker
- LTC. One litecoin divides into 100,000,000 units, sometimes called litoshis.
- Launched
- October 2011, by Charlie Lee, as a lighter, faster fork of Bitcoin's code.
- Supply
- Capped at 84 million LTC, four times Bitcoin's cap. New coins are issued to miners and the reward halves about every four years (most recently in August 2023).
- Consensus
- Proof of work using the Scrypt algorithm, with new blocks about every 2.5 minutes, four times faster than Bitcoin.
- Privacy
- MWEB (MimbleWimble Extension Blocks), live since 2022, lets users make optionally confidential transactions.
- Custody
- You hold LTC with a private key. Coin Nerds delivers to the wallet address you provide, so the keys are yours from the first minute.
Protocol facts are public and current as of August 18, 2026. Prices on this page are the live Coin Nerds market feed.

Chat with a human, 24/7How do I buy Litecoin with Coin Nerds?
Three ways. Online: open an account, verify, enter the amount in the widget on this page, pay with any of 100+ methods, and the LTC lands in your wallet within minutes of the payment clearing. In the app: the same flow on your phone. In person: walk into a Coin Nerds branch with your ID and your wallet, pay in cash or by card or transfer, and leave with the coins already in your wallet.
Can I buy Litecoin with cash, near me?
Yes. Buy Litecoin with cash across the counter at any Coin Nerds branch, or through our agents in every major city worldwide, any amount, arranged over chat or by phone.
Do I need my own wallet to buy Litecoin?
Yes, and that is the point. Coin Nerds is non-custodial: your LTC is delivered to a wallet whose keys you hold, not to an exchange balance. If you do not have one yet, a real person is on chat to answer questions before your first order.
How much Litecoin can I buy, and how fast does it arrive?
Any fraction of a coin. Small orders go through the widget or the app at the live rate and arrive in your wallet within minutes of your payment clearing; orders of $50,000 or more go through the OTC desk for one locked price and a dedicated account manager. Same-day signup to first trade is standard.
Is it safe to buy Litecoin through Coin Nerds?
Coin Nerds, Inc. is a registered money services business regulated in multiple jurisdictions, with $3B+ settled since 2018 and 100K+ customers. Because purchases are delivered to your own wallet, there is no exchange balance to be frozen or lost. Every registration is published on our licenses page.
What is the Litecoin price today?
The live LTC price is in the widget and in the market panel on this page, quoted from the live market in USD with CAD and other currencies alongside. The amount you see when you confirm is the amount that lands in your wallet.
How is Litecoin different from Bitcoin?
It shares Bitcoin's design but with blocks every 2.5 minutes instead of 10, an 84 million coin cap instead of 21 million, and the Scrypt mining algorithm. In practice that means cheaper, faster everyday transfers and a lower price per coin.
Is Litecoin good for payments?
It was built for them. Transfers confirm quickly and cost very little, and Litecoin is one of the more widely accepted coins among merchants and payment processors.
Is Litecoin's supply capped?
Yes, at 84 million LTC, with issuance halving roughly every four years like Bitcoin.
