Litecoin (LTC) Surpasses Dogecoin (DOGE) in On-Chain Activity, Signaling Whale Confidence

• Litecoin has outranked Dogecoin in terms of total transaction volume.
• The coin has continued to advance in network growth with price in rebound mode.

Litecoin (LTC) has recently outpaced Dogecoin (DOGE) in on-chain activity. According to data insights from IntoTheBlock, Litecoin has processed $2.85 billion in transactions over $100,000 daily on average. Despite Dogecoin having three times Litecoin’s market capitalization, the memecoin daily transaction surprisingly falls below. Per the record, Dogecoin has processed just $590 million in transactions.

Litecoin Outperforms Other Layer 1 Blockchain

Litecoin daily transactions indicate growing confidence among large-scale investors or whales. Investors are drawn to Litecoin’s proven track record and potential for steady growth. Likewise, the renewed interest in LTC signals a broader market trend towards established cryptocurrencies with solid fundamentals.  

Litecoin processes $2.85 billion in transactions over $100k daily (avg), over 50% of its market cap.

This is more than most Layer 1s. For example, Dogecoin sees $590 million in large transactions, despite having roughly 3x Litecoin’s market cap.

Dogecoin, initially created as a joke, has gained a lot of attention in the community. Notably, its value has increased, largely due to support from its community and public figures like Elon Musk. However, compared to Litecoin, Dogecoin lags in technological development and real-world uses. This difference in development and functionality might account for why whales are positively leaning toward Litecoin

As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, investors are closely watching the performance and adoption of coins like Litecoin. Interestingly, the recent increase in Litecoin’s on-chain activity could indicate the start of a more sustained and robust growth phase for this popular altcoin.

Litecoin Has a Promising Future

In terms of recent advancements, there have been significant changes within the Litecoin ecosystem. According to our recent analysis, there is a huge reduction in Litecoin miners’ reserves, which reached their lowest levels in years. Despite this, the network’s hashrate has reached an all-time high of 1.07k TH/s, suggesting increased mining activity and network security. In a unique twist, Litecoin’s merger with Dogecoin continues to improve security and compensation for miners on both networks.

A few days ago, Crypto News Flash highlighted in a previous report that Litecoin processed over 12 million transactions in June. Based on historical cycles, crypto analyst MASTERBTCLTC estimated that LTC might reach its peak in October 2025. He mentioned that Litecoin’s price follows an eight-year cycle, with 2025 being the eighth year, implying a potential big rally ahead.

Furthermore, Litecoin had a positive cash flow of $1.4 million earlier in the month, indicating strong financial inflows as noted in our earlier post. Meanwhile, Litecoin’s recent network upgrades, including the MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB), launched in 2022, have provided optional anonymity for wallet balances and transactions. These improvements have made Litecoin more appealing to privacy-conscious users and investors. 

Moreover, LTC has formed a bullish divergence, potentially signaling an end to its recent downtrend. This bullish divergence typically occurs when the coin’s price declines, the oscillator drops, but network activity rises, which has been the case for Litecoin.

The signs are currently visible in the price of Litecoin at the moment. Data from Marketcap shows that LTC is up 1.28% in 24 hours to $69.86 with a market capitalization of $5.25 billion.
