Market ยท since 2023
Nexus Market
A middle aged entry by the standards of this list, and one of only three that take Litecoin. That last detail is the reason most people end up on this page rather than another one.

The Litecoin question
Three markets here take Litecoin: this one, Mars and Anubis. It is the least discussed coin in this subject and the reason people use it is practical rather than ideological. Confirmations arrive faster than Bitcoin, and fees are small in absolute terms, which makes the waiting part of a deposit shorter.
What it does not do is hide anything. Litecoin leaves a public trail in the same way Bitcoin does, so choosing it is a convenience decision and not a privacy one. If the privacy is what you were after, the coin to look at is on the Monero page.
All three addresses spell the name
Every published address here begins with the market name, which means the recognisable part is exactly what a forger buys first and cheapest. Matching four or five opening characters takes minutes on an ordinary machine. Matching seven or eight takes days and people still do it. Matching all fifty six is impossible, which is why the middle of the string is the part that carries the information.
The check that fits every market here
Paste the address you are about to open into an empty box, paste your saved copy underneath, and see whether the two lines are the same length and line up. Five seconds, no judgement involved, and it works on the hundredth repetition when reading carefully has long since stopped.
Who it suits
- Anyone holding Litecoin. Only three entries here accept it and this is one.
- Anyone who wants a choice of coin at checkout rather than a single option.
- Anyone who wants a few years of history without the oldest entries.
It suits you badly if you hold Ethereum, which only one market here accepts, or if a larger address set matters to you. Nexus against TorZon is the comparison people ask for most.
What none of this tells you
Coin support is a claim on a page and the claim can change without warning. Age describes the past. Three published addresses says the set is average sized for this list and nothing about whether any of them is reachable. None of that is a criticism of this market, it is the honest limit of what an outsider can establish about any of them.
