Earlier today, it was Bitcoin Cash—now, it's Litecoin.
The two cryptocurrencies have received renewed interest from investors since Wall Street-backed EDX Markets listed them last week.
Both were arguably fading into obscurity but are now soaring—especially Litecoin, which just reentered the top 10 biggest digital assets by market cap.
The Bitcoin fork is up 23.6% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko, trading hands for $104.63. That makes it one of the best-performing digital assets right now.
And in the past seven days, it has shot up by 15% in value, meaning that it has regained its spot in the top 10 digital assets, with a market cap of $7.7 billion.
One likely reason for the renewed interest in Litecoin is that it's one of just four cryptocurrencies chosen by the Citadel Securities and Fidelity-backed EDX Markets to trade on its exchange. This is because—along with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum—regulators are unlikely to target it for being an unregistered security, experts told Decrypt.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this year has launched a tough crackdown on the crypto industry—particularly coins and tokens it considers unregistered securities.
EDX CEO Jamil Nazarali said that he felt "very comfortable" the four assets listed on EDX weren't securities.
EDX is a new exchange backed by "TradFi" heavyweights Charles Schwab, Citadel Securities, and Fidelity Digital Assets.
Ordinal mania has caused increased blockchain activity—but not just on Bitcoin’s network: Litecoin, the 12th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is experiencing a huge surge in transactions. Litecoin’s blockchain last week experienced over 584,838 transactions in one day, the highest in its history, according to crypto data website Bitinfocharts. Activity has since dipped—363,855 transactions took place yesterday—but Litecoin use is still higher than it has ever been. The cryptocurrency, w...
The launch of the exchange has led investors to plug cash into crypto, leading to a bit of a bull run. But it's not just Wall Street that's likely responsible for this sudden jump.
Litecoin is also due for its "halving" later next month, when the supply of coins for mining rewards will be cut in half, meaning fewer of the digital coins will be created. Such events have previously given rise to bullish price action for coins, such as during the run-up to recent Bitcoin halvings.

Litecoin was launched in 2011 by ex-Google employee Charlie Lee. He wanted to create a faster, cheaper version of Bitcoin and so forked the Bitcoin blockchain.
The objective was to make a peer-to-peer cash system cheaper than the oldest and most well-known digital currency: a "silver" to Bitcoin's "digital gold." But the asset hasn't been successful at beating Bitcoin in terms of adoption and has fallen out of favor among investors in recent years. Until now, it seems.

Bitcoin breezed past $110,000 late Monday afternoon, the first time it's passed that threshold in nearly two weeks as investors looked hopefully at current talks between the U.S. and China that could ease trade tensions. And short position liquidations are piling up amid the surge. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was recently trading at about $110,100, up 3.5% over the past 24 hours. BTC has risen nearly 5% over the past seven days after dropping below $101,000 on June 5, par...
Bitcoin's implied volatility has collapsed to its lowest level in a year as tension between the U.S. and China appear to settle after a new round of negotiations began on Monday at Lancaster House in London. The trade talks are projected to run up to at least two days, with the prospect of resuming progress from negotiations in Geneva last month which began to ease tension between the two nations. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has stayed above the $100,000 range, going up 4.5% over the month, with its pri...
Technical analysis of crypto assets can be hard—but we're here to try and make it a little easier for you. Today, we're starting with a near-death-cross experience for Bitcoin, Ethereum finding its footing despite bearish signals, and Fartcoin (yes, Fartcoin) showing strength among alts. Let's get into it: Cryptocurrency markets showed signs of life Monday after a prolonged 13-day correction that tested investor resolve. The total crypto market capitalization rose 1.72% over 24 hours to $3.37 tr...
