“Litecoin Is Dead” — That’s What Retail Thinks, While Institutions Quietly Target $100

For years, Litecoin (LTC) has been dismissed as a forgotten legacy coin, trapped in a long-term downtrend since 2021. Retail investors largely moved on, chasing faster narratives and newer chains. Yet beneath the surface, institutions appear to be telling a veryI very different story — one that increasingly points toward a $100 LTC thesis.

Institutions Accumulate 3.7 Million LTC Despite Weak Price Action

According to data from the Litecoin Register, public companies, treasuries, and ETF-related vehicles now hold nearly 3.7 million LTC, valued at over $296 million by late 2025. The Litecoin Foundation confirms that holdings across 10 publicly disclosed entities have increased by more than 1 million LTC since August 2025, even as price failed to make new yearly highs.

Notable holders include Grayscale, Lite Strategy, and Luxxfolio Holdings, with Luxxfolio publicly targeting 1 million LTC by 2026 — a clear sign of long-term conviction rather than short-term speculation.

Unmatched Network Stability Strengthens the Bull Case

Beyond accumulation, Litecoin continues to lead in operational reliability. The LitVM “Silver Standard” report highlights that Litecoin has maintained 100% network uptime for over 12 consecutive years, outperforming other legacy blockchains. For institutions prioritizing security, stability, and settlement reliability, LTC remains a proven asset.

Derivatives Market Signals Growing Confidence

Short-term sentiment is also shifting. Binance data shows top traders aggressively increasing long LTC positions in mid-December, signaling expectations of a trend reversal. Veteran investors echo this confidence, with many believing LTC will not remain below $100 for long.

As capital increasingly flows toward ETF-backed, liquidity-supported altcoins, Litecoin may be positioning itself for a delayed — but powerful — revaluation.
