Which currencies does Mars Market accept?

Last reviewed: June 2026

Mars Market settles in three currencies natively:

BTC LTC XMR

Monero is the privacy default. Bitcoin is there for vendor compatibility. Litecoin is the practical option for low-value deposits where BTC network fees would otherwise dominate the order — Litecoin confirmations are faster and per-transaction fees are dramatically smaller.

Deposit confirmation timing

Bitcoin credits after about two confirmations. Litecoin credits faster — the marketplace generally only requires one or two LTC confirmations, which is a few minutes. Monero takes around ten blocks, roughly twenty minutes. Pending balances show in the deposit panel as soon as the transaction hits the mempool.

Why three coins

Mars settles in BTC, LTC, and XMR because each one has a job. BTC for vendor compatibility (some vendors still only take Bitcoin). LTC for low-value deposits where BTC fees would dominate. XMR for privacy. There's no overlap that justifies dropping any of them. Anubis adds Ethereum on top of these three; no other market we cover does.
