According to reports from IntoTheBlock, Litecoin, despite the price decline, has witnessed an increase in on-chain activity. The token showed a notable 75% increase in wallet addresses on Thursday. Furthermore, it also surpassed Ethereum wallet holders by more than 100,000 addresses. The number of wallet addresses also reached its highest level since January 2024.
Furthermore, in addition to the increase in users, LTC transactions have also increased manifold. The number of transactions reached a new milestone of 426,000 on Thursday. This has caught the market’s attention as activity shows a surge despite falling prices over the past week.
