LTC currently ranked 24th largest by market cap, has gained nearly 8% to $66 in 24 hours, the highest since January. Prices are up 37% this month, the best performance since November 2024, according to CoinDesk.
Bitcoin , meanwhile, has dropped 3% in 24 hours and is only up 6% for the month. ETH, XRP, SOL and other top 10 coins show a similar performance profile, lagging well behind LTC.
The exact reason for LTC's outperformance is unclear as of now. The Litecoin Foundation attributed it to increased economic activity on the network.
"Yesterday over $1 Billion of value, over 17M Litecoin, moved across the Litecoin network in 24 hours. This is the Adjusted Economic Volume or "payments" as @ForceXHQ denotes. While not a daily high for the year, that would be $2.51B in 24hrs back in May, it's a massive percentage of LTC's market cap. A clear sign as to the activity on chain and its growing use case,” the foundation said on X.
