Litecoin (LTC) has still not been able to break free from the long-term downtrend since 2021. The weak price movements have led many retail investors to overlook this 'vintage' altcoin.
However, new reports are revealing gradually growing positive signals. These signals serve as a foundation for analysts to predict that the price may soon break the 100 USD level.
Institutions are accumulating 3.7 million LTC even as prices decline
This year, as various companies and institutions are expanding their digital assets and launching crypto ETFs, Litecoin has also become part of this trend
According to data from the Litecoin Register, by the end of 2025, treasury funds and ETFs will hold nearly 3.7 million LTC, with a total value exceeding 296 million USD
Currently, there are more than 3.7 million Litecoins held by 10 companies and public funds, which is an increase of one million LTC from August 2025, according to the Litecoin Foundation
The graph shows a continuous accumulation over the past year, and this trend continues even though LTC has not yet created a new high in 2025
Major holders include Grayscale, Lite Strategy, and Luxxfolio Holdings, with Luxxfolio Holdings aiming to accumulate LTC to reach 1 million coins by 2026
Additionally, the report “Silver Standard” from LitVM highlights that Litecoin is the blockchain with the highest online time compared to older networks, maintaining a 100% online status continuously for the past 12 years
Uptime is the measurement of the continuous operational time of the network without interruption, and when the blockchain has high uptime, it reflects stability, security, and reliability in processing transactions without technical failures
Investor Creed stated that institutions want stable money and have relied on LTC's credibility over the past 12 years
Fundamental data does not always create short-term impacts; however, the short-term direction in the derivatives market still looks very positive
Leading traders on Binance rapidly increased their Long LTC positions in the second week of December, and this behavior reflects significant positive expectations
These factors may explain why many long-term investors still trust LTC, with crypto investor Lucky, who has been in the space since 2015, believing that LTC will recover soon
Lucky predicts that I do not think LTC will stay below 100 USD for long
The situation of LTC is similar to many alternative coins with strong fundamentals but slow price adjustments, such as XRP, XLM, LINK, and INJ
Experts are still debating that only alternative coins supported by liquidity from DATs and ETFs can survive and grow sustainably in the new phase of the market
