<p>Litecoin, like Bitcoin, has an open-source architecture that enables miners to verify transactions and secure the network through proof-of-work. Both LTC and BTC can be mined, but an innovative Segregated Witness protocol reduces the likelihood of “orphaned” blocks.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-litecoin-and-its-working-strong"><strong>Litecoin and its Working</strong></h2>
<p>Its blockchain handles transactions at four times the speed, allowing for swift settlement for businesses that embrace digital payments. However, this increased speed comes with trade-offs, as merchants can opt for more confirmations to enhance security.</p>
<p>To maintain Bitcoin’s long-term supply trajectory, Litecoin undergoes halving events at a faster pace, ensuring that available coins are depleted at the same time. With a maximum supply of 84 Million coins, Litecoin aims to achieve synchronous depletion alongside BTC.</p>

<p>During December, Litecoin’s price increased by 7%, as the decentralized project saw growth in volume, active addresses, and daily transactions. In 2023, LTC reached a new milestone with 1 Million daily transactions, a record for the project.</p>
<p>Large wallet investors are actively moving in Litecoin, and whale transactions coincide with spikes in the Network Realized Profit/Loss metric, indicating that profit-taking activities of LTC holders do not influence Litecoin’s uptrend.</p>
<p>The news of Litecoin’s rising network activity could create excitement and potentially boost its performance. On December 1, LTC was traded at $71.54. On January 3, it dropped by 8.7% to $65.30. Two weeks later, it rose by 6.0% to $69.26.</p>
