How to Buy Litecoin (LTC)
Litecoin (LTC) is one of the very first projects to copy and modify Bitcoin’s code and use it to launch a new cryptocurrency.
Created by developer Charlie Lee in 2011, Litecoin’s software sought to differentiate from Bitcoin with changes aimed at accelerating transaction confirmation times for merchants.
Branded the “silver to bitcoin’s gold” in promotional materials, Litecoin shares many similarities with Bitcoin. Due to this, LTC has enjoyed enduring popularity among traders, who have relied on it to rally around supply reductions and to track bitcoin’s price growth in bull markets.
If you’re new to crypto and looking to buy LTC for the first time, be sure to check out our “What is Litecoin?” guide for a more comprehensive deep dive.

Where to buy LTC?
Direct Purchase
You can purchase it directly from another individual in person or over the web.
Crypto ATM
You can try to locate a crypto ATM near you that offers LTC. However, the ATM rates can be exorbitant and there is no guarantee that you can find a counterpart to make the trade with.
Exchange
Many find that it is easiest to purchase it through an exchange, like Kraken.
Aside from offering a simple interface and the lowest fees in the industry, Kraken is constantly rated one of the most secure and trusted crypto exchanges in the world. This matters because once crypto is lost, it is nearly impossible to recover.
At Kraken, we take security seriously with state-of-the-art technology, policies, and procedures that protect client funds. We do not compromise when it comes to security, and neither should you.
How much LTC can I buy?
Looking to buy LTC on a budget? Don’t worry, Kraken offers a minimum order size of 0.1 LTC to help you gain exposure to a variety of assets.
Of course, you can also execute larger LTC buy orders as well. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for larger traders to purchase or trade 2,000 LTC or more on Kraken.
