Litecoin (LTC) rallied ahead of other altcoins on signs of whale accumulation. The token is closely watched for ETF inclusion, as well as treasury-building activities. Litecoin (LTC) is starting a breakout, with gains surpassing other altcoins. For now, LTC remains range-bound, but with expectations for an eventual hike to a higher price range. LTC gained to a local peak of $117.47, though trading volumes are yet to pick up. The token, however, is showing signs of silent whale accumulation. As of August 10, the Litecoin network carried 334 whale transactions valued at over $1M. A total of 1,000 LTC wallets accumulated 181K more coins, showing a readiness to hold the asset for long-term expansion. LTC has invited both whales and mid-range holders in expectation of an eventual LTC ETF, as well as new treasury reserves.

The ETP is relatively idle, as mainstream interest in LTC remains low. The LTCN shares rallied in late 2024, but are yet to regain their premium. Recently, Grayscale filed an S-3 form to transform its previous product. Grayscale holds around 2M LTC in its Trust, which may become the basis for the new ETF. Additionally, an anonymous whale wallet loaded up over 36K coins in the past week, becoming the most active buyer. For now, there is no detailed tracking of LTC purchases or special treasury entities. LTC has been accumulating into large wallets, with those holding 10,000 to 100K coins controlling around 29% of the supply. Another 26% of the supply is held in wallets with 100K to 1M LTC. The coin has multiple whales with the potential to sway the market, or hold onto their assets to create scarcity.
