Whale Activity and Rising Social Dominance Propel Litecoin

Previously, CNF reported a large spike in whale activity for LTC, with a surge of 25% in early September. More than 1,100 daily transactions totaling $100,000 were reported, showing that larger investors are becoming more engaged in the Litecoin market.

This increased engagement has coincided with a significant increase in Litecoin’s social dominance, which has jumped from 0.3% to 2.9%. This surge represents increased online interest and interaction within the Litecoin community, indicating a renewed focus on the cryptocurrency’s potential among both retail and institutional investors.

Furthermore, as we previously reported, on-chain data revealed in August showed that Litecoin’s transaction volume had more than doubled, with over 412 million LTC exchanged in only one week, worth a stunning $26.5 billion.

This tremendous on-chain activity promotes the network’s vitality and the usability of Litecoin for large-scale transactions. Over a seven-month period, Litecoin processed 62 million transactions, indicating that it is on track to outperform the overall transaction volume recorded last year.

Such impressive stats underscore Litecoin’s long-term significance in the ever-changing crypto industry, demonstrating its capacity to manage a massive volume of transactions while preserving network efficiency.

Litecoin is currently trading at roughly $65.64, moving in consolidation over the last 30 days. As September unfolds, it appears that the coin is looking for momentum to make a rebound.
