Litecoin’s May 2025 Surge: Can LTC Shatter Expectations?

Litecoin bulls are charging—again. As the ’silver to Bitcoin’s gold’ flirts with key resistance levels, traders eye a potential breakout. But can LTC really deliver knockout gains this cycle, or will it get stuck in the mid-cap altcoin grind?

Key drivers: Halving hype fades, but institutional adoption whispers grow louder. Lightning Network integration and PayPal-backed liquidity could fuel the fire—assuming the Fed doesn’t rain on crypto’s parade (again).

Prediction models swing wildly: $500 looks plausible if Bitcoin drags the market up. $1,000? Only if Wall Street ’discovers’ Litecoin like a late-night infomercial gem. Meanwhile, Ethereum maximalists scoff—proving tribalism remains crypto’s most reliable constant.

Litecoin Records Massive Downfall of Over 6%

Litecoin failed to retain itself in the top ten. The asset currently trades as the 21st-largest cryptocurrency in the market. At the time of writing, LTC was trading at a low of $82.27. This comes after the asset witnessed a massive drop of 6.86% over the past 24 hours.

This notable dip in LTC’s price follows the news of the delay in the Litecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). According to recent reports, a decision regarding Canary Capital’s request for a spot Litecoin ETF has been further postponed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Amidst this, experts were seen predicting the possible chance of an approval for LTC by the end of the year.

Can the Altcoin Make It Past $100 in May 2025?

According to data from CoinCodex, May is expected to be slightly bullish for the altcoin. The firm revealed that Litecoin will trade at a maximum price of $92.69 in the month of May. This follows a 12.32% rise from its current price level. The average trading price of the asset was set at $63.97. The lowest that LTC might dip to is $44.20 during this month.
