Silver to Bitcoin’s gold just got shinier. Litecoin surges past laggards in the CoinDesk 20, posting a 7.7% gain while the broader market wheezes like an overleveraged hedge fund.


The zombie rally no one saw coming

LTC’s breakout defies the usual post-halving lethargy—proving once again that crypto markets have the attention span of a TikTok trader. Technicals suggest bullish momentum, but let’s see how long it lasts before the next ’institutional adoption’ narrative gets recycled.


Meanwhile in TradFi land...

Wall Street still can’t decide if this is a ’risk-on’ signal or just another dead-cat bounce. Either way, the 20-index uptick gives crypto bros fresh ammo to spam ’NGMI’ at goldbugs.
