LTC ETF Speculation Fuels Altcoin Rally as Ethereum Eyes $2K

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a resurgence in altcoin interest, with Ethereum and Litecoin leading the charge. Ethereum has rebounded from its April low of $1,386 to trade between $1,770 and $1,800, driven by anticipation of the upcoming Pectra upgrade on May 7. This upgrade is expected to enhance scalability and staking mechanisms, reigniting bullish sentiment after a sluggish first quarter. Meanwhile, Litecoin is gaining traction as speculation grows around a potential ETF, further boosting optimism in the altcoin market. Emerging tokens are also benefiting from this shifting sentiment as traders diversify their portfolios.
