Litecoin (LTC) remains one of the oldest cryptocurrencies in the ecosystem. However, while LTC, currently ranked 21 by market capitalization according to Coinmarketcap might have been somewhat under the radar in the past few years, the cryptocurrency has stealthily surged from its 2022 bear season lows of $40. The price of Litecoin went as high as $79 as of December 2023 before pulling back. 

A number of significant events might have influenced the surge. One of these notable events is the Litecoin halving, similar to Bitcoin. The most recent halving occurred in August 2023, reducing the block reward to 6.25 LTC. The next halving is estimated to happen in July 2027 and will see the block reward reduced further to 3.125 LTC. 

Another crucial development in the Litecoin ecosystem that has contributed to the surge is the introduction of a new token standard - LTC-20. LTC-20 is a derivative of Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20s, which has stirred significant market interest in recent months. While the new Litecoin  token standard was introduced without much fanfare, it is beginning to gain significant interest from the crypto community as inscriptions become widespread. 

What is LTC-20?

Litecoin Ordinals, otherwise known as LTC-20 (Litecoin NFTs) is a forked experimental version of Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20s. These experimental Litecoin Ordinals provide enhanced flexibility, allowing users to embed diverse data formats such as text, images, and audio files. Leveraging Litecoin's 4x faster block speeds, it allows users to swiftly mint or inscribe LTC-20s at significantly reduced fees compared to their Bitcoin counterparts. 

The launch of Ordinals.fun, a leading Litecoin Ordinals marketplace has fuelled a surge in Litecoin Ordinal activity. As much as the increased usage boosts network security, it also translates into increased miner rewards due to growing network fees.

Similar to Magic Eden, a Solana NFT marketplace which launched support for Bitcoin Ordinals in March 2023, Ordinals.fun allows users to create, buy/sell Litecoin Ordinals, leveraging the surging interest.
