Litecoin Surges 4% to Break $84 as ETF Hype Intensifies
Litecoin bulls charge ahead as the silver-to-Bitcoin's-gold cracks $84—fueled by swelling ETF speculation.
Why the sudden spike? Traders are betting big on institutional adoption, with whispers of a Litecoin ETF gaining traction. The 4% jump puts LTC back on traders' radars after months of sideways action.
Wall Street's late to the party (again). While crypto natives stacked LTC at $40, traditional finance now scrambles for exposure—just in time for the most volatile phase of the rally. Typical.
What's next? Either the ETF floodgates open, or this becomes another 'buy the rumor, sell the news' classic. Either way, buckle up.
