Earlier today, it was Bitcoin Cash—now, it's Litecoin.
The two cryptocurrencies have received renewed interest from investors since Wall Street-backed EDX Markets listed them last week.
Both were arguably fading into obscurity but are now soaring—especially Litecoin, which just reentered the top 10 biggest digital assets by market cap.
The Bitcoin fork is up 23.6% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko, trading hands for $104.63. That makes it one of the best-performing digital assets right now.
And in the past seven days, it has shot up by 15% in value, meaning that it has regained its spot in the top 10 digital assets, with a market cap of $7.7 billion.
One likely reason for the renewed interest in Litecoin is that it's one of just four cryptocurrencies chosen by the Citadel Securities and Fidelity-backed EDX Markets to trade on its exchange. This is because—along with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum—regulators are unlikely to target it for being an unregistered security, experts told Decrypt.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this year has launched a tough crackdown on the crypto industry—particularly coins and tokens it considers unregistered securities.
EDX CEO Jamil Nazarali said that he felt "very comfortable" the four assets listed on EDX weren't securities.
EDX is a new exchange backed by "TradFi" heavyweights Charles Schwab, Citadel Securities, and Fidelity Digital Assets.
Ordinal mania has caused increased blockchain activity—but not just on Bitcoin’s network: Litecoin, the 12th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is experiencing a huge surge in transactions. Litecoin’s blockchain last week experienced over 584,838 transactions in one day, the highest in its history, according to crypto data website Bitinfocharts. Activity has since dipped—363,855 transactions took place yesterday—but Litecoin use is still higher than it has ever been. The cryptocurrency, w...
The launch of the exchange has led investors to plug cash into crypto, leading to a bit of a bull run. But it's not just Wall Street that's likely responsible for this sudden jump.
Litecoin is also due for its "halving" later next month, when the supply of coins for mining rewards will be cut in half, meaning fewer of the digital coins will be created. Such events have previously given rise to bullish price action for coins, such as during the run-up to recent Bitcoin halvings.

Litecoin was launched in 2011 by ex-Google employee Charlie Lee. He wanted to create a faster, cheaper version of Bitcoin and so forked the Bitcoin blockchain.
The objective was to make a peer-to-peer cash system cheaper than the oldest and most well-known digital currency: a "silver" to Bitcoin's "digital gold." But the asset hasn't been successful at beating Bitcoin in terms of adoption and has fallen out of favor among investors in recent years. Until now, it seems.

Coinbase has now overtaken two of the world's largest securities exchanges in terms of transaction revenue, according to a crypto analyst from the private bank Coutts. The crypto exchange generated $5.75 billion in transaction revenue over the past 12 months, compared to just $4.54 billion for the Nasdaq, where many of the world’s most valuable companies, including Apple, Google, and Microsoft, are traded. Coinbase also surpassed the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, the HKEX, which generated $2.67 b...
After several extended reviews since June this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally approved the first spot exchange-traded funds combining Bitcoin and Ethereum. The agency has authorized Nasdaq to list the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF and the Cboe BZX Exchange to list the Franklin Crypto Index ETF, according to a filing released Thursday. "The proportion of bitcoin and ether to be held by each Trust will be based on free-float market capitalizations," the filing...
Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 12.4% in the past 24 hours as a broader market decline continues, triggered by the Federal Reserve's latest economic outlook. The meme coin has dropped to $0.31, while trading volume surged 67% to $10.25 billion as holders repositioned their bags. It's now down 35% from its 2024 high of $0.47. Despite the pullback, Dogecoin's market capitalization remains at $46.6 billion, maintaining its position as the seventh-largest crypto. Powell's hawkish comments about higher-than-exp...
