Litecoin follows Bitcoin’s suit; falls significantly as market loses billions

The cryptocurrency creator Charlie Lee envisioned to be ‘complementary’ to Bitcoin, has been in the news lately. Litecoin, recently went through its much-anticipated halving, sending many analysts into a frenzy. However, while many analysts predicted this could give LTC’s price a kick up, it hasn’t happened so. Instead, Litecoin has recorded significant losses since, especially on the back of the world’s largest cryptocurrency falling and pulling the market with it.

At press time, Litecoin was priced at $74.98 and had a market cap of $4.76 billion. LTC had a 24-hour trading volume of $3.82 billion, while also registering a significant fall of 8.73% over the last 24 hours. The silver coin to Bitcoin’s gold was at press time, way below the $140 levels the cryptocurrency hit after the April price rally led by Bitcoin.
