About Litecoin

Litecoin (LTC) is a decentralized cryptocurrency designed to provide fast, low-cost transactions for everyday use. Created in 2011, it is often referred to as 'digital silver' due to its similarities to Bitcoin, including a fixed supply of 84 million coins and a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. Litecoin stands out with faster block times (2.5 minutes) and lower transaction fees, making it ideal for payments and cross-border transfers. It has maintained 100% uptime since its inception, showcasing its reliability and security. With widespread adoption across platforms like PayPal, BitPay, and major exchanges, Litecoin continues to be a trusted choice for peer-to-peer digital cash transactions.

Just now I was searching for the ICT marketmaker sell model on google. One of the images that popped up was this old @Tradermayne screencap from a Feb 2020 BTC review video. Looks absolutely identical to the current ETH structure! Pretty sure this was a couple weeks before March COVID collapse. Ominous?

[The 2025 halving bull market has entered the middle and late stages: the rhythm of the BTC halving cycle is shifting to structural rotation] 1. BTC: The rise after the halving is cashing out and is in the top construction stage Trend review: BTC has risen by more than 80% since the halving in April 2024, quickly rushed to $120,000 after breaking through the previous high of 69,000 in March 2025, and then fluctuated downward, currently hovering around 109,000. Chart signals: The RSI has fallen below 50 many times on the daily chart, and the MACD death cross continues to diverge, and it is in a weak repair in the short term, and it has not yet confirmed that it will stop falling. Technical tipping point: The $100,000 mark is the psychological defense line of the market and a key indicator of whether the "halving driving logic" continues in this round. 🔍 Research conclusion: BTC is likely to have entered the "platform top shock" stage at a high level, and whether it will break out of the second peak depends on two major variables: (1) Whether institutional incremental funds (ETF holdings, sovereign fund entry) are durable; (2) Whether macro risks (interest rate cuts, US stock market turmoil) trigger market turns. 2. ETH: Short-term weakness, but the long-term trend has not changed Trend characteristics: ETH took the lead in breaking through the 2021 high, leading the rise throughout May~July, but recently fell back from a high level, indicating that the upward momentum has weakened. Technical signals: MACD began to weaken, the daily RSI is still in the neutral upper range, if it cannot quickly recover the 4600~4700 area in the short term, it may fall into a box shock. The logic behind it: ETH has long-term value supported by ETF expectations and the expansion of the L2 ecosystem, but it has basically realized the benefits in advance. 🔍 Research conclusion: ETH has completed the stage of "valuation reshaping + belief strengthening" and may enter a volatile trend that is not synchronized with BTC, relying more on on-chain activity and continuous expansion of L2/modularity. 3. SOL: The structural replenishment market is starting Trend structure: Unlike BTC/ETH, SOL has not yet broken through its all-time high and is currently in a range of $200~$240 below the top of 2021. Technical signals: The daily three-moving average is in a bullish position, the MACD golden cross is upward, and the RSI remains strong, indicating a relatively healthy uptrend. Capital flow characteristics: Emerging narratives such as NFTs, GameFi, and DePIN have been implemented on Solana in turn, driving a rapid recovery in on-chain TVL and transaction activity. 🔍 Research conclusion: SOL is likely to be taking on the role of "structural rotation to make up for the rise" in this cycle, and if BTC/ETH maintains a sideways movement, its momentum to reach new highs will be stronger. Fourth, the sign of structural rotation: the bull market is no longer driven by a single driver Combining charts and market behavior, there are several "new trends" worth noting: (1) The rotation of sector heat is accelerated: The accelerated pace of capital rotation from BTC → ETH → SOL / TRX means that the market as a whole is at a high level but lacks a unified direction, and speculative funds tend to "look for rotation depressions". (2) ETH and BTC no longer resonate: The synchronicity between ETH and BTC declined after the halving, indicating that the bull market momentum is no longer driven by a single pole, but rather a compound logic of the on-chain ecology and macro events. (3) TRX stablecoin ecosystem silently increases: Although the price performance is moderate, TRX's recent on-chain stablecoin circulation has steadily expanded, and the DeFi fundamentals have strengthened, indicating that its "settlement network" attribute has been recognized in this cycle, and the trend is more defensive. 5. What paths may the market evolve into next? 🔹 Path 1: Top Build → Sideways Oscillation → Sector Rotation (Most Likely) BTC has fluctuated around the range of 100,000 to 110,000 for a long time, mainstream currencies have stagnated, and sectors such as SOL, TRX, AI, RWA and other sectors have rotated to make up for the rise as the main line. Strategic suggestions: Reduce leverage, chase less high, focus on structural opportunities, and choose a narrative track with "still space" to participate in the rotation. 🔹 Path 2: Emotional outburst → Re-summit → Full acceleration (moderate probability) If BTC can strongly break through 120,000 and drive ETH to a new high, the market may enter the last wave of "FOMO main upward stage", and the bull market climax will be extended by several weeks to two months. Strategy suggestion: Set a take-profit line, flexibly add or subtract positions, and retain the bottom position to participate, but do not blindly chase highs. 🔹 Path 3: Weak downside → High retracement → Comprehensive cooling (low probability but high lethality) If BTC falls below the key support of 100,000, coupled with macro risks or policy uncertainty, the market may quickly switch to a "retracement-defense" mode, killing valuation and liquidity. Strategy advice: Quickly withdraw from short-term speculative positions, keep only long-term bottom positions, and wait for a new round of market structure confirmation. 6. Summary: The bull market is not dead, but the tactics need to change The bull market in 2025 is not over, but the rhythm has quietly changed. The market push brought about by the Bitcoin halving has entered the cashing period, and the next core keywords are: Rotation, structure, differentiation, cashing, prudence. If you are a speculator, now is the time to defend; If you are a long-termist, now is the best window for structural restructuring and value exchange. The last dance of the bull market may not belong to BTC, but to those who still have room for "replenishment".

Litecoin FAQ

Litecoin uses the Proof of Work consensus mechanism, where miners solve a complex mathematical problem to win the chance to verify transactions and create a block. These miners receive mining rewards for their efforts. During each halving, the mining rewards are reduced by 50 percent to slow the creation of new tokens. For example, after the second halving in August 2019, the mining rewards were reduced to 12.5 LTC from 25 LTC.

Easily buy LTC tokens on the OKX cryptocurrency platform. Available trading pairs in the OKX spot trading terminal include LTC/USDT, LTC/USDC, LTC/ETH and LTC/BTC.

Litecoin was developed from a fork in the Bitcoin network and, therefore, uses Bitcoin's source code. However, Litecoin differs from Bitcoin in several ways, including transaction processing speed, fees, and privacy. Litecoin can process 54 transactions per second compared to five transactions processed per second on the Bitcoin network. Because of the speed of transactions, each new block on the Litecoin network is generated in about 2 minutes and 20 seconds, compared to 10 minutes on Bitcoin. Transaction fees on Litecoin are also comparatively lower than Bitcoin. Additionally, after the MimbleWimble upgrade, Litecoin offers greater privacy and scalability than Bitcoin.

Dive deeper into Litecoin

Developed in 2011 as a fork of the Bitcoin network, Litecoin aimed to improve upon Bitcoin's shortcomings. It was the first altcoin, and its goal was to offer a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) currency with faster transaction processing times and lower fees than Bitcoin.

Built with payments in mind, Litecoin outperforms Bitcoin in terms of transaction speed and confirmation time. While Bitcoin can process approximately five transactions per second, Litecoin has a capacity of 56 transactions per second. The network's confirmation time is also significantly shorter, taking approximately two minutes and 20 seconds compared to Bitcoin's, of nearly 10 minutes per block.

Even after over a decade, Litecoin remains committed to providing users with low-cost, private, secure, and borderless payment solutions. Its vision is to enable individuals to send payments anywhere in the world at any time, making it a practical and accessible digital currency for everyday transactions. Litecoin's usage as a payment method has increased over the years, with merchants, including the American Red Cross, Newegg, and Twitch, accepting LTC as payment.

How does Litecoin work

Litecoin was created from the original Bitcoin source code. That said, it has several differences, which make it faster, cheaper, and more accessible. Here are the components that make Litecoin different:

Scrypt hashing

Litecoin was launched with a unique algorithmic architecture called Scrypt. Scrypt uses less processing power than Bitcoin’s SHA-256 algorithm, lowering the entry barriers for miners and promoting network decentralization. Scrypt also protects Litecoin from potential attacks by miners.

SegWit (Segregated Witness)

SegWit was initially proposed for Bitcoin but was first adopted by the Litecoin network. It separates the witness data (digital signature data) from the transaction data, allowing for more transactions to be included in each block and increasing the overall capacity and scalability of the network. The successful implementation of SegWit on Litecoin served as a testbed and paved the way for its subsequent adoption on the Bitcoin network.

MimbleWimble upgrade

Litecoin also launched its highly anticipated MimbleWimble upgrade, which allows for anonymous transactions on the network, similar to other private networks like Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR). MimbleWimble's integration with Litecoin via extension blocks (MWEB) allowed users to conceal transaction information, thereby increasing privacy. The upgrade was released in January 2022 and activated in May.

The MimbleWimble upgrade was first suggested in October 2019 in two Litecoin improvement proposals. Then, in October 2020, the network launched the first MimbleWimble testnet. According to the Litecoin Foundation, the upgrade enhances the network's scalability since the amount of data stored on-chain reduces fungibility.

LTC price and tokenomics

LTC has a capped supply model, with a maximum supply 84 million. This specific cap was chosen so that the last LTC would be mined in 2142. Like BTC, LTC operates on a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, producing new tokens exclusively through mining. Every four years, LTC undergoes a halving to reduce the rewards earned by miners.

LTC has a wide range of use cases. As the native token of the network, LTC is used to pay transaction fees. LTC can also be used outside the network as a medium of exchange, purchasing goods and services or exchanging for other digital assets, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

About the founders

Litecoin was founded in 2011 by Charlie Lee, an MIT graduate and former software engineer at Google. Lee played a key role in the development and launch of Litecoin. In 2013, he joined Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, where he served as the Director of Engineering. In 2017, Lee made the decision to leave Coinbase to focus on the full-time development and advancement of Litecoin.

Lee is also the director of the Litecoin Foundation, a Singapore-based non-profit organization that works towards the growth and adoption of LTC. In December 2017, Lee sold his entire stake in Litecoin, saying it was a conflict of interest for him to talk about the cryptocurrency while influencing it.

Since its inception, the Litecoin team has grown and expanded to include more core developers. This dedicated team works on improving and maintaining the Litecoin network, ensuring its security, scalability, and overall functionality.
