† Conditional VIP tiers are excluded from the volume-only estimate. Confirm your account eligibility.

* Omni Spot Swap: 0.9% swap fee plus gas, not an orderbook maker/taker schedule. Confirm availability in the app.

† VIP counts spot volume in full and ordinary USDT perpetual volume at 0.4 times notional. GT discount is only modeled for entry spot.

† VIP uses 14-day volume, estimated from 30-day volume assuming evenly distributed activity. Hyperliquid spot volume counts twice.

Published entry-tier spot rates; volume tiers and native-token discounts can lower these further.

Liquidity and spread

LTC trades with deep liquidity on the large exchanges, so slippage is small at retail size. Your all in cost is the fee plus the spread, and the spread mostly matters on smaller venues, so compare both instead of the headline fee alone.

Do not forget the withdrawal fee

Litecoin on chain withdrawals are fast and cheap, but the fixed LTC withdrawal fee still varies by exchange. If you move LTC to a wallet often, that recurring cost can outweigh a small trading fee difference. See the hidden costs of crypto trading.

FAQ

What is the cheapest exchange to buy Litecoin?

There is no single cheapest venue for LTC. It depends on your monthly volume, maker/taker mix, and any native-token discount. The published fee is usually the main cost on liquid majors. Check your profile in the FeeEdge calculator. Because LTC is highly liquid, the published fee is usually the main cost, so also check your volume tier and any native-token discount.

Is Litecoin cheaper to withdraw than Bitcoin?

Usually yes. Litecoin on chain fees are typically lower and confirmations are faster than Bitcoin, so if you plan to move coins off exchange frequently, LTC withdrawal costs are generally smaller. Always confirm the exact fee on your exchange before withdrawing.
