Background

What is Litecoin?

By PlatformCrypto.eu editorial team · checked on

Litecoin (LTC) is one of the longest-running cryptocurrencies. Charlie Lee announced it in October 2011 as "a lite version of Bitcoin": the code is based on bitcoin's, with changes aimed at faster and cheaper payments. Nobody issues Litecoin centrally. Miners and nodes run the network with open-source software called Litecoin Core, and the project describes LTC as digital money for instant payments worldwide at close to zero cost.

Two design choices set it apart from bitcoin. Blocks follow each other roughly every 2.5 minutes, a quarter of bitcoin's ten-minute target, and mining uses a different algorithm, Scrypt. The supply is limited to 84 million LTC. Miners earn new coins with every block, and that reward halves every 840,000 blocks, roughly once every four years.

Since 2022 the network has also supported MWEB (MimbleWimble Extension Blocks), an opt-in feature that lets users keep the amounts in their transactions private.

Being older than most coins has not made Litecoin's price calm. LTC can still lose or gain a large part of its euro value in a short time.

In four steps

How to buy Litecoin

  1. Choose a platform

    At the top you can see where your amount buys the most LTC, with every fee included.

  2. Open an account

    Sign up and verify your identity. Licensed platforms are required to check who you are; it usually takes a few minutes.

  3. Add euros

    For example by SEPA bank transfer or by card. Check the deposit fee on the platform first: it differs per method.

  4. Buy LTC

    Enter the amount and confirm. Before you do, check the fee and the price the platform shows you.

Questions about Litecoin

How much is 1 Litecoin worth right now?

On 12 October 2026 at 19:27 CEST, 1 LTC was worth €56.16 on average: the median mid-market price on 6 platforms. The price changes all the time, and what you pay on a platform also depends on its fees.

What is Litecoin?

Litecoin is a cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee and launched in October 2011. It runs on its own blockchain, built from bitcoin's code, and is meant mainly for sending money quickly and cheaply. Its coin is called LTC.

How is Litecoin different from bitcoin?

The two work in much the same way: both are mined, both have a fixed maximum supply and both cut the mining reward in half about every four years. The differences are in the details. Litecoin adds a block about every 2.5 minutes instead of every 10, uses the Scrypt mining algorithm, allows 84 million coins instead of 21 million, and offers MWEB, an optional way to keep transaction amounts private.

How many litecoins can there be?

At most 84 million. The limit is part of the Litecoin Core software, and new coins only come into existence as mining rewards, which get smaller over time.

What is the Litecoin halving?

Every 840,000 blocks, the number of new LTC that miners receive per block is cut in half. With a block roughly every 2.5 minutes, that happens about once every four years. Halvings slow down the creation of new coins; they do not change the number of LTC you already hold.

What does MiCA change when you buy Litecoin?

MiCA, the EU's rulebook for crypto, regulates the companies you buy from rather than Litecoin itself. A platform that sells LTC in the EU needs an authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider. If it holds your coins, it must have arrangements that protect your ownership, especially if the company becomes insolvent, and it may not use your LTC for its own account. MiCA also contains rules against market manipulation and insider dealing. It offers no protection against a fall in the price.
