- Litecoin showed a 12.81% increase in trading volume in the past 24 hours.
- The altcoin hit a new milestone in the number of transactions on Thursday.
The overall crypto market has shown signs of recovery in the past few days. Leading cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum have witnessed a slight increase in prices. However, other altcoins are still struggling to maintain the recent bullish gains attained. In particular, Litecoin (LTC) exhibits a daily decline of 1.11% in market price.
According to IntoTheBlock reports, Litecoin, despite price drops, has witnessed an increase in on-chain activity. The token showed a notable 75% surge in wallet addresses on Thursday. Moreover, it has also surpassed Ethereum’s wallet holders by over 100K addresses. The number of wallet addresses has also reached the highest level since January 2024.
Furthermore, apart from a surge in users, LTC transactions have also increased multifold. On Thursday, the number of transactions reached a new milestone of 426,000. This has caught market attention as the activity shows an upsurge despite price declines in the past week.
Moreover, within the transactions, LTC has recorded a significant $16.4 billion of transactions over $100K according to IntoTheBlock data. Other transactions, particularly those below $10 were mostly responsible for the surge in Litecoin movements, as they depicted higher numbers. These inferences indicate a bullish trend in the on-chain activity of Litecoin.
