Why is Litecoin’s Trading Volume Soaring High Today?

Today, Litecoin is showing fresh signs of life as the trading volume soars to multi-day highs. It is significant as the price fluctuation remained quite evident in the previous month and even in early September. Now, as the market stabilizes, the institutional and retail interest peaks for LTC.

Litecoin Trading Volume Soars to $700M Today

Litecoin is gaining traction in the crypto space again over the week, gaining the $700M mark today. With this surge, trading volume has hit nearly a two-week high, showcasing an increased demand. Notably, the volume spiked 76% earlier in the day and has maintained most of its level at press time.

In general, it is a major sign of the renewed investor hype. The number of active addresses recently hit 269k, further confirming the demand.

This investor demand made LTC among the top actively traded crypto assets. Along with this, the LTC price today is also seeing a significant uptrend, currently at $114.43 with $8.72B in market capitalization.

However, despite that, it stands 72% down from its ATH of $412.96, but experts see the token consolidating within a symmetrical triangle pattern since mid-2021, where a breakout from this could push it above $150.

While the uncertainty looms, there is a demand building in the current crypto market conditions. 

What’s Fueling the Litecoin Trading Volume or Demand Today?

Not only LTC, the broader market is witnessing an uptrend today, ahead of the key crypto events and the FOMC Meeting. These key events influence investors’ trading decisions and the performance of digital assets.

As the sentiments turn neutral with the Fed interest rate cuts soaring, the trading activity in the top cryptos is being influenced.  In the case of Litecoin, other factors like institutional development and the SEC’s upcoming decision on ETFs are also fueling the trading volume.

Canadian firm Luxxfolio plans to raise $73 million to expand Litecoin holdings, building credibility as institutional backing strengthens confidence in investors. Additionally, the SEC would decide on the LTC Spot ETF on October 2nd.

Although they are actively delaying their decisions on crypto ETFs, the Bloomberg analysts believe October-November is the potential timeline for an altcoin exchange-traded fund’s approval, coinciding with the LTC one’s decision, influencing the demand.

The SEC’s next big decisions are coming up:#Litecoin Spot ETF → October 2nd#Solana Spot ETF → October 10th

These rulings could be pivotal moments for altcoin adoption, and they land right as Q4 begins, historically one of the most bullish periods for crypto.

Litecoin Hashrate shows another sign of great confidence, as it hit a new ATH of 3.149 PH/s today. Hashrate is the total computing power that miners are using to secure and run the blockchain.

As it’s high, it means more miners are working and are confident to spend their energy and resources, and experts call it bullish for price, hence the demand and trading volume surge for Litecoin.
