Litecoin (LTC) Breaks Records: 5 Million Long-Term Holders Signal Major Market Shift

Recently, reports from IntoTheBlock revealed that the Litecoin (LTC) network has exceeded five million long-term holders. This achievement represents approximately 62.5% of all LTC addresses with a balance, underscoring Litecoin’s widespread adoption and long-term viability within the crypto community. Rising Long-Term Holder Trend Signals Optimism The surge in long-term holders has been particularly noticeable in recent months, underscoring a growing inclination towards holding LTC for quite a long time. In February’s closing days alone, the number of long-term holders soared by 170,000, signaling robust investor confidence in Litecoin’s long-term prospects.

Apart from the numerical growth, the profitability of holding LTC over the long term adds another dimension of interest.

In contrast, approximately 26.8% of LTC holders, totaling 2.15 million addresses, are currently at a loss. Meanwhile, a smaller segment, constituting 5.53% of holders, is situated at breakeven, which means they are neither in a loss nor a profit. Bullish Sentiment Surrounds Litecoin Amidst Rumors of ETF Approval So far, Litecoin has seen relatively stable movement, experiencing a minor increase of 0.3% over the past week, followed by a slight downturn of 0.1% in the last 24 hours. As of the current writing, LTC is trading at $96.72. Despite the altcoin’s current stability in price, analysts such as World of Charts anticipate a potential surge in the coming months, with projections suggesting a climb to $400. This bullish momentum is fuelled by growing institutional interest, particularly surrounding rumors of a potential LTC Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett has hinted at institutional intrigue towards a Litecoin ETF, citing LTC’s functional similarities to Bitcoin as a potential factor in its approval by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 🚨SCOOP (with fixed ticker) 🙂: Hearing rumblings on the institutional level about possible interest in a Litecoin ETF.
