Litecoin Takes a 6.1% Nosedive—Dragging the CoinDesk 20 Into the Red
Litecoin’s rough week just got rougher—the so-called ’silver to Bitcoin’s gold’ cratered 6.1% today, single-handedly turning the CoinDesk 20 index negative. Traders are left wondering if this is a blip or the start of another ’hold my beer’ crypto volatility spectacle.
Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts nod sagely and mutter ’told you so’ into their triple-shot lattes. Because nothing validates traditional finance’s skepticism like a mid-cap altcoin deciding to impersonate a falling knife.

Leaders: AAVE (+9.8%) and HBAR (+0.7%).
Laggards: LTC (-6.1%) and FIL (-2.9%).
The CoinDesk 20 is a broad-based index traded on multiple platforms in several regions globally.
