About Litecoin (LTC)

What drives the LTC price?
LTC moves on Bitcoin sentiment (high correlation with BTC), halving-cycle narratives (Litecoin halves ahead of Bitcoin historically), and payments-adoption headlines. As a battle-tested "digital silver," LTC often trades as a lower-beta BTC proxy.
Trading notes
LTC is listed on essentially every crypto exchange. BTC/LTC is a historically tight spread. Low-fee transfers make it popular for inter-exchange settlement.
