What are Litecoin and LTC?
Litecoin (LTC) is digital money built for instant, near-zero-cost payments worldwide. It uses peer-to-peer technology, meaning transactions and issuance are managed collectively by the network rather than by a central authority.
Litecoin's blockchain also generates blocks more frequently than Bitcoin's.

How can you fund a Litecoin purchase?
You can fund your account for a Litecoin purchase by bank transfer, debit or credit card (Visa or Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay, or with crypto deposited from another wallet. Bank transfers are free on Crypto.com.
If you deposit crypto from another wallet, make sure you're sending a supported cryptocurrency to the correct address. Crypto transactions are irreversible, and attempting to deposit a non-supported token may result in the loss of those tokens.
What is the minimum Litecoin purchase?
The minimum amount required to buy Litecoin on Crypto.com is as little as £1. This means you can buy a small fraction of Litecoin rather than having to buy a whole coin.
