This is the highest level in Litecoin\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>These factors set Litecoin apart from other altcoins for now. With whale accumulation supporting the uptrend and on-chain activity hitting record highs, the recent price surge appears to be grounded in solid fundamentals rather than short-term speculation.<\/p>\n<p>Further reinforcing the trend, Litecoin\u2019s trading volume has jumped 199% to $1.74 billion, while its market capitalization now stands at $7.7 billion, securing its spot within the top 20 cryptocurrencies. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/LTC\/futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Derivatives activity<\/a> has also spiked, Litecoin\u2019s futures volume surged 221.68% to $2.14 billion, and open interest climbed 25.41% to $441.46 million.<\/p>\n<p>Data from <a href=\"https:\/\/coincodex.com\/crypto\/litecoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CoinCodex<\/a> shows that Litecoin\u2019s price has climbed 42% over the past year, outperforming 75% of the top 100 crypto assets, including both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).<\/p>\n<p>Litecoin reached its ATH in May 2021 when it reached $\u202f410.76. At press time, Litecoin is trading around $100, up 11.32% in the past 24 hours and 1.88% over the week. Analysts suggest that if LTC manages to close above $109, the next potential target lies near $119.<\/p>\n<p>However, maintaining the crucial $100 support level will be key; failure to hold above it could trigger a pullback toward $92.<\/p>\n<h3>ETF Progress Despite U.S. Government Shutdown<\/h3>\n<p>On September 18, the SEC approved new \u201cgeneric listing standards\u201d for commodity-based exchange-traded products,&nbsp; including those tied to cryptocurrencies. These rules allow national exchanges, like the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Stock Market, and Cboe Global Markets, to list spot crypto ETFs faster under a streamlined process.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the reform, the approval process timeline for spot crypto ETFs has been significantly reduced (from up to ~240 days under the old approach to as little as ~75 days or fewer under the new standards.<\/p>\n<p>One prospectus is from Canary Capital Group LLC, the \u201cCanary Litecoin ETF\u201d Trust, which filed in October 2024, describing a fund holding LTC and seeking to allow share exposures tied to LTC.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/sec-postpones-decision-on-ltc-etf\/\">Canary Capital<\/a> announced plans to launch U.S. exchange-traded products (ETPs) tied to Litecoin and Hedera (HBR) despite the government shutdown. The firm is taking advantage of the new generic listing standards.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. government shutdown, which began on October 1, has impacted the routine operations of the SEC. While core functions continue, non-essential reviews have been delayed or deprioritized.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, some asset managers appear to have used workarounds: For example, parquet filings for the Litecoin\/Hedera ETPs leveraged recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/sec-ends-19b-4s-to-speed-up-etf-approval\/\">clarified pathways<\/a> like automatic effectiveness under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act to proceed even amidst the shutdown.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h6>Recommended for you:<\/h6>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Litecoin has emerged as a standout performer in the crypto market\u2019s recovery phase, trading at $100.
