The LTC ETF May Be Approved: Where Can You Buy LTC Coin?

2025-02-20, 07:16

Recently, there has been an expectation of warming up for LTC ETF, and rumors in the cryptocurrency market about the possible approval of LTC spot ETF have attracted widespread attention. As a mainstream cryptocurrency asset with a high market value ranking, if LTC successfully launches an ETF product, it will signify its further integration into the traditional financial market. Against this backdrop, investors’ demand for LTC allocation has significantly increased, and the global leading trading platform Gate.io has become the preferred channel for users to scramble for LTC with its efficient and secure trading services.

LTC ETF expectations

LTC has recently seen frequent positive news, with the core catalyst coming from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s open attitude towards cryptocurrency ETFs in the United States. Following the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, the market has begun to speculate that LTC may be the next beneficiary. Several senior ETF analysts at Bloomberg have stated that the LTC ETF will become the third cryptocurrency to be approved for spot ETFs, following BTC and ETH. There is also a possibility that DOGE will be approved this year. With a current circulating market value of 10 billion USD, LTC’s market value is approximately 3% of ETH’s. If the LTC ETF is approved, it will become the smallest spot ETF in terms of market value among cryptocurrencies.

This expectation is directly reflected in Price trend Above: In the past 30 days, LTC has rebounded strongly from a low point of $80, reaching a high of $139, with an increase of over 70%. Trading volume during the same period has grown by 40%, with clear signs of fund inflows. Technical analysis shows that LTC has broken through the key resistance level of $128, the weekly MACD indicator has formed a golden cross, and the RSI is maintaining a healthy range around 55. On-chain data provider Santiment pointed out that the number of active LTC addresses has hit a new high for the year, with a 35% increase in large transactions, indicating that institutional investors may be positioning themselves. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart stated: ‘Although the approval process for an LTC ETF has not yet begun, its foundational advantages as a compliant asset have been recognized by the market.’

Ecological upgrade empowers long-term value

In addition to the expected ETF, the technical evolution of LTC itself is also worthy of attention. The full implementation of the MWEB (privacy transaction) protocol in 2024 will bring its transaction anonymity to new heights. At the same time, cooperation tests with payment giants such as PayPal and Visa continue to advance, and the actual application scenarios continue to expand. A report from Gate.io Research Institute pointed out that the daily average number of transactions on the LTC network has remained stable at over 400,000, far exceeding most competing currencies, making its positioning as the ‘digital silver’ payment currency increasingly clear.

In the short term, it is expected that ETF may continue to drive LTC to test the $140 resistance level. If the breakthrough is successful, the next target will be the psychological barrier of $200. However, it is important to note that regulatory approval is uncertain. It is recommended that investors set price s on Gate.io and adopt a phased investment strategy to control risks. Long-term holders may pay attention to the deflationary effect brought about by the LTC halving cycle (next time in August 2027).

Litecoin Future Outlook

With the accelerating integration of cryptocurrency and traditional finance, LTC’s market position and liquidity advantages are becoming increasingly prominent. Gate.io, as a compliant platform with 10 years of operating history, has been certified by the US FinCEN MSB license, adopting multi-layer cold wallet storage and AI risk control s to provide investors with a secure and efficient trading environment. At present, with the continuous fermentation of the ETF narrative, it is a wise choice to lay out high-quality assets in advance or seize the industry dividends.
