Bitcoin to Litecoin in Vancouver: questions and answers
Who oversees crypto services in Vancouver?
British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) registers crypto service providers in Vancouver. Its own site has its current rules. This page is not legal advice.
Is AltoSwap licensed in Canada?
No. AltoSwap holds no licence in Canada. It is a non-custodial aggregator: it never holds your coins, and each swap is carried out by the exchange or network on the route.
Can I pay in Canadian dollar on AltoSwap?
No. AltoSwap swaps crypto for crypto only. Buy your BTC first, then swap it here.
Does AltoSwap ask for identity documents?
No. AltoSwap asks for no account, email or documents, and by default routes through exchanges rated A for KYC, which do not ask for them either.
How do I swap BTC to LTC without KYC?
Enter the BTC amount on this page, paste your LTC address and send your BTC to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The LTC is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the BTC to LTC exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 BTC ≈ 1,352.49 LTC (from 8 no-KYC offers compared for 0.005 BTC). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
What are the minimum and maximum for BTC to LTC?
The minimum is about 0.000064 BTC and the maximum about 20 BTC. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a BTC to LTC swap take?
Usually around 10 min. Most of that is waiting for your BTC deposit to confirm on Bitcoin, which takes about 10-30 minutes (1-2 confirmations). There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping BTC to LTC anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Bitcoin and Litecoin are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Which LTC address should I use?
Your LTC is paid on Litecoin. Use an address that starts with ltc1, L or M (MWEB addresses are not supported). Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the BTC to LTC rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Litecoin network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Bitcoin network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap LTC back to BTC?
Yes. The reverse direction, LTC to BTC, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
