Litecoin (LTC) Surges Above $100 Amid Whale Accumulation and Record On-Chain Activity

Litecoin (LTC) recently experienced a major rally, climbing over 10% on Friday and surpassing the $100 mark, indicating renewed investor interest.

This significant move was primarily driven by two key factors, according to Santiment:

• Increased Whale Accumulation: The number of addresses holding 100,000+ LTC (whale wallets) has risen by 6% in the past three months, adding seven new major holders. This suggests growing confidence from large investors.
• Record On-Chain Activity: Litecoin’s daily transaction volume has skyrocketed to an average of $15.1 billion, marking the highest week of on-chain activity in its history. Historically, such volume spikes, especially when backed by whale buying, often precede price continuation.

This strong performance represents a "decoupling" from the general altcoin market, potentially reflecting a shift by traders toward older, more established, and lower-risk assets amidst current market uncertainty.

Analysts believe that if the current pace of whale accumulation and high network engagement persists, Litecoin is well-positioned to sustain its price above $100 and potentially build a new base for further gains leading into the end of 2025.
