Litecoin Price Inches up Again as Other Markets Struggle



With all cryptocurrency markets in a very odd state once again, it will be interesting to see what the future holds. The Bitcoin price is moving up, yet half of the top 15 markets are losing value as of right now. The Litecoin price is one of the few rare exceptions in this regard. More specifically, we see the Litecoin price rise by 3.73% in the past 24 hours, pushing the value to just over $214.

LITECOIN PRICE TRIES TO NOTE POSITIVE MOMENTUM

So far, it seems as if this weekend may turn out slightly catastrophic for most cryptocurrency markets once again. Even though the Bitcoin price is performing surprisingly well, most other top currencies are stuck in limbo as of right now. Litecoin is one of the few positive exceptions in this regard, although it seems to mainly mimic Bitcoin’s momentum as of right now. The Litecoin price gains over the past 24 hours are virtually identical percentage-wise to that of Bitcoin.
That does not have to be a bad thing per se. After all, Litecoin still gained 0.35% over Bitcoin in the LTC/BTC ratio, although that difference may be neglectable when looking at the bigger picture. For now, it is good to see Litecoin not lose value over Bitcoin unlike all of the other altcoins on the market right now. Whether or not this means we will see some further solid Litecoin price gains, remains to be determined. Anything is possible at this stage,  depending on how the LTC/BTC ratio evolves in the coming hours and days.  
As of right now, we are now looking at a Litecoin price of $214. That is a rather solid trend, although the same LTC was worth $226 just a few days ago. All markets are still pretty volatile as we speak, as can be seen from the Litecoin price chart over the past week. With the value ranging from $196 to $228 over the span of just seven days, it is evident there’s good money to be made if you can time the highs and lows correctly.
With $703.86m in 24-hour trading volume, things look pretty solid for Litecoin as of right now. This trading volume is a lot higher compared to most other altcoins on the market right now, but things may effectively change in the right direction once again. For now, Litecoin is relatively strong in its own way, although it would be nice to see this trading volume surpass $1bn once again. It is possible this may happen later today, but for now, there is no reason to even remotely concerned about how things are evolving as of right now
Few people will be surprised to see how OKEx is the world’s leading exchange in terms of Litecoin trading volume. Their BTC and USDT pairs combine for over 44.5% of all trades, which is pretty significant. GDAX completes the top three with its LTC/USD pair, and their lead over Bitfinex is pretty big as of right now. With two fiat currency pairs in the top four right now, things are certainly looking pretty good for Litecoin, but it remains to be seen if this situation undergoes any major changes later today and tomorrow.
For the time being, things look pretty good for the Litecoin price. If this trend keeps up, we may effectively see LTC surpass $220 later today. Considering how the weekend is rather notorious for its cryptocurrency market volatility in general,  the current uptrend can easily turn into a massive Litecoin price dip in a matter of hours.  It will be interesting to see how this particular market evolves in the next few hours. If the trading volumes just a bit, things will get a lot more interesting, for obvious reasons.

Malta-based cryptocurrency company probed in New York

Concerns about the lack of robust real-time and historical market surveillance capabilities A Malta-based cryptocurrency  exchange has been referred to the US department of financial services for potential violation of New York’s virtual currency regulations. The New York State Attorney General said Binance, Gate.io and Kraken had been referred to the US department for financial services after an investigation into whether those platforms accepted trade from within New York state. Binance, touted as the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, relocated to Malta earlier this year amid hype by the government. Malta’s embrace of blockchain technology led it to become a hub for cryptocurrency exchanges. Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had welcomed Binance to Malta in a Tweet. As part of a study into the cryptocurrency market, the New York Attorney General sought the voluntary participation of 13 cryptocurrency exchanges in a fact-finding inquiry into the policies and practices of vi

Soulja Boy's 'Bitcoin' Millions, PwC Backs a Stablecoin, Tether Sinks Below $1

PricewaterhouseCoopers, the top accounting firm better known as PwC, is backing a cryptocurrency—specifically, a so-called stablecoin backed by the U.S. dollar. The accounting firm is partnering with Cred, a decentralized lending startup that’s developing a new stablecoin pegged to the dollar, PwC announced Monday. PwC will offer its accounting expertise to ensure Cred’s dollar-backed coin “can provide 100% transparency and value substantiation,” the firm said in a statement. To hear PwC tell it, a lack of trust in stablecoins—and the existence of the dollar reserves backing them—has been keeping many potential investors out of cryptocurrency entirely. According to PwC, making the dollar reserves backing stablecoins fully auditable will “usher in the next 100 million users of crypto assets.” PwC is just the latest major firm to jump on the stablecoin bandwagon, joining  companies like IBM  and  venture capitalist Andreessen Horowitz,  who see the coins as a digital proxy for the
