LTC Price Prediction: Will Litecoin Hit $100 Amid Bullish Technicals and Institutional Demand?

Factors Influencing LTC’s Price

Trump's Tariff Announcement Sparks Market Movements, Crypto Mentioned

Former President Donald TRUMP announced new trade tariffs targeting Brazil and 21 other countries, including a 50% duty on imported copper effective August 1. The move triggered immediate market reactions, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 0.5% and the S&P 500 rising 0.2%. The Nasdaq Composite briefly hit a record high before stabilizing.

In a Truth Social post, Trump celebrated market performance, declaring "CRYPTO, 'Through the Roof!'" alongside record highs for tech and industrial stocks. The statement comes as Nvidia shares have surged 47% since Trump's previous tariff measures. The former president framed the tariffs as economic strengthening, claiming the U.S. is taking in "Hundreds of Billions" while experiencing "NO INFLATION."

Brazilian markets reacted sharply to the 50% tariff announcement, with the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ) dropping 2%. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva vowed to respond using Brazil's economic reciprocity laws. The tariffs were partially framed as retaliation against legal proceedings targeting former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

BIT Mining Pivots to Solana with $300M Treasury Plan Amid Offshore Scrutiny

BIT Mining, a NYSE-listed firm with Cayman Islands registration, is staking its future on Solana. The company plans to convert its entire crypto treasury—including 19 BTC, 1,246 ETH, and 7.6M DOGE—into SOL, targeting a $300 million position. This follows Bit Digital's recent shift to Ethereum, marking a growing trend of public companies favoring altcoins.

The proposed Solana holdings would dwarf BIT Mining's current $1.5M BTC position, acquired at an average of $77,526 per coin. As part of its reinvention from a former casino operator (500.com), the firm will participate in Solana validation and staking. Offshore corporate structures and a thin Bitcoin reserve raise questions about the strategic pivot.

Crypto Market Surges as Institutional Inflows Drive Prices Higher

Bitcoin breached $111,000 while ethereum led gains among major cryptos, rising 3.1% to $2,794 as US spot ETFs recorded their second-highest inflows in five months. The bullish momentum swept through 97 of the top 100 coins, with total trading volume spiking 55% overnight to $128 billion.

Market sentiment has shifted decisively toward greed territory, fueled by $429 million combined inflows into BTC and ETH investment products. Analysts note substantial dry powder remains on the sidelines, suggesting continued upward pressure. "July will test markets, but bitcoin looks built for it," observed one trader, referencing BTC's resilience during typically volatile summer months.

Notable outperformers included Solana (SOL), climbing 5.1% to $0.181, while Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), and Chainlink (LINK) comprised the rare decliners in the top 100. The derivatives market saw heightened activity across Binance, Coinbase, and Bybit as open interest expanded alongside price appreciation.

Blockchain Life 2025 Forum Set to Unite Crypto Leaders in Dubai Ahead of Anticipated Bull Run

The 15th Anniversary Blockchain Life Forum will convene global cryptocurrency leaders in Dubai on October 28-29, 2025. With 15,000 attendees from 130 countries, the event positions itself as a pivotal gathering on the eve of what many predict will be a significant market upswing.

Industry heavyweights including Binance, Tether, Tron, and solana will join representatives from Mastercard, Telegram, and other traditional finance and tech giants. The expanded outdoor zone will feature networking lounges, live entertainment, and curated experiences—doubling last year's footprint.

Market analysts highlight the timing's strategic importance: 'When institutional players and retail investors collide at these scales, it typically signals inflection points,' noted one hedge fund manager familiar with previous forum outcomes.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Surpass $50B in Net Inflows as Institutional Demand Rebounds

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have crossed a historic threshold, accumulating over $50 billion in net inflows since their January 2024 launch. BlackRock's IBIT leads the pack with $53 billion inflows and now custodies 700,000 BTC - equivalent to 3.3% of Bitcoin's total supply.

The market recorded $218 million inflows on July 9 alone, extending a five-day streak totaling $1.52 billion. This resurgence follows a brief July 1 outflow of $342 million, with daily inflows peaking at $601.94 million just two days later. Total AUM across all funds stands at $139.39 billion.

Fidelity's FBTC trails distantly with $12.29 billion, while Grayscale's GBTC remains the sole outlier with $23.34 billion in outflows. Analysts anticipate regulatory approval for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin ETFs could follow Bitcoin's successful adoption trajectory.
