Litecoin (LTC) value could rise to 4 digits sooner than everyone expects
Litecoin (LTC) is one of the tokens that has been in the market for a decent time now, but even as it is one of the oldest coins in the crypto environment, its prices continue to be under the expectations of many, a fact that raise a lot of concern and doubts regarding whether the coin is undervalued or not. In fact, there are strong reasons to believe that the currency will surpass the three digits prices very soon. Let’s see the main reasoning behind this assumption.
The science behind the coin
Litecoin (LTC) was launched on Github back on October 7th of 2011, a currency that was designed to be practically identical in its technical aspects to the leader of the sector Bitcoin (BTC). In fact, it was created as an open-source fork of the first ever launched cryptocurrency of the market, and ever since then, it has performed as the silver to the pseudo-gold that represents Bitcoin (BTC).
Even when the similarities are that many, Litecoin has come a long way from where it began in 2011, having one of the strongest features of the sector in terms of costs and speed as of now. However, its performance is still way below one of the leaders of the market as the altcoin trades at a price that is thousands of times lower than the price of bitcoin, and as we believe this is actually not an accurate thing considering what the crypto has to offer to both enthusiasts and investors.
Truth be told, the conditions of the market right now are not the best to consider, and this is something that has affected every single one of the coins that exist in the market, including, of course, Bitcoin. But if we take into account the normal conditions of the sector, Litecoin (LTC) has one of the strongest and more stable performances of them all.
In these regular conditions, Bitcoin used to be one of the greatest investments, representing a great store of value to a bunch of investors and enthusiasts. But the truth is the leader of the sector still has a lot to improve in terms of speed and transactions fees, a field in which Litecoin has managed to offer operations that barely take 2.5 seconds and with incredibly low cost.
Like this, it is worth to mention that one of the main usabilities for cryptocurrencies is serving as a payment method, and this is something in which Bitcoin clearly has the lead as well being adopted on several mega websites. Nonetheless, Litecoin may see a higher adoption considering the fact that what it has to offer is better, transactions are actually cheaper, and they even take less time.
Once the market starts to rise again, a massive adoption of Litecoin could skyrocket the price of the coin, even being possible that LTC gets to the forecasted number of 1000 US dollars, but in order for this to happen one of the things the coin needs to get rid of is the relation with Bitcoin (BTC), a fact that seems to be more detrimental than helpful.
Litecoin is actually the only competitor that Bitcoin has, because even when Ethereum (ETH) is closer in numbers, the crypto is very distant on its target and this positions LTC as the most likely contender, so instead of considering the silver to the Bitcoin gold, Litecoin should be labeled in the same measure of importance than BTC.
The current price of Litecoin (LTC) is $83.07 per coin, the token has increased in value by more than 10% in the last 24 hours, and the weekly uptrend of it is expected to keep getting stronger now. So things may change sooner than anyone expects. Stay tuned!

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //
Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.
Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.
The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.
NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…
2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for. While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory. When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion. But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.
I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness. Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion. Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special. Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.
Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology
It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different. Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…
