Litecoin's 24-hour surge, robust weekly gains with a 200% volume spike, and strong ETF approval odds amid rising payment adoption fuel predictions of a $150 target.

LTC

Summary

Litecoin (LTC) rallied over 10% in 24 hours, briefly surpassing $124 before settling near $122, and gained 11.6% on a weekly basis. The momentum is driven by a 200% volume surge, strong payment adoption—with 14.5% of crypto payments on CoinGate and 40 million transactions in 2025—and bullish ETF approval odds (81% Polymarket, 90% Bloomberg). Analysts predict a $150 target, reinforced by CFTC commodity classification and institutional moves, including Grayscale’s $180M LTC Trust and MEI Pharma’s $100M PIPE deal.
