Litecoin Trading Price Surges After Gemini’s New Announcement

October 15, 2018

Advertisment

Despite the recent price drop that has hit most of the crypto market pretty hard, things are looking up for a lot of coins once again. Litecoin trading is especially deserving of praise due to a new price surge that came after Gemini recently announced LTC trading on its platform.

While the LTC gains are still nothing spectacular at this point, the current situation may still be only a beginning of a new prosperous period.

Litecoin trading price moves up

The world of cryptocurrencies is still very young and full of energy and innovation. As such, there is always something going on, especially when it comes to altcoins, all of which struggle to prove themselves and become the next big thing.

In Litecoin’s case, it would seem that the momentum is turning around, after months of not so great performance. Even though the current gains are not that big, with the price going up by only 2.52% at the time of writing, this is still a very positive change.

Due to the fact that most other coins are still relatively undisturbed, analysts are having a hard time deducing whether this nudge is a beginning of a bull run or only a temporary change. Still, thanks to the fact that even Bitcoin itself is currently in the green, the entire crypto community choose to see positive Litecoin trading as a sign of hope.

While many expect this weekend to bring interesting development to the world of cryptocurrency, Pattern Capital Management seems to believe that a big volume spike has already started. They have just announced a serious volume spike, and while the current $215M in trades is definitely not bad for LTC, more is always welcome.

Additionally, Litecoin is also celebrating its seventh birthday today, which is not a small thing, considering that the crypto world itself is only 9 years old. Also, it should be noted that most crypto projects tend to disappear before even reaching their first anniversary. Despite the fact that Litecoin itself is not the most innovative project, it is still one of the more robust ones and is bound to remain around for a long while yet.

Litecoin gets listed on Gemini

However, the biggest news regarding Litecoin in the last several days came from the Gemini exchange, owned by the Winklevoss twins. Gemini, as mentioned earlier, announced that they are finally allowing Litecoin to join their list. Litecoin’s Charlie Lee has been excited about this development for months now and has left a few hints of it on multiple occasions.

While many took it as a joke at the time, Litecoin trading will now finally become possible on Gemini’s platform, starting next Tuesday.

We are pleased to announce that @litecoin (LTC) is now available on Gemini! Starting tomorrow, we will begin accepting Litecoin deposits, and trading will open across all currency pairs on Tuesday. For more information, please visit our blog on @Medium https://t.co/it5xuF9Hr5

While LTC price is still growing only by a few percents, this positive movement should not be overlooked. Not only because it may be a hint of greater things to come, but also because LTC is a coin that has struggled greatly, and every positive development should be praised. Now, since the weekend is here, a lot of investors expect big things to start happening at any time. After all, cryptocurrencies have a tendency to have their largest events happen on weekends for some odd reason.

Whether something will happen or not still remains to be seen. For now, however, LTC’s community remains joyful, while the rest of the crypto world is holding its breath and waits for a new bull run to start.
