About Litecoin
Litecoin (LTC) price today is $58.91 USD, down 0.77% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap of $4.58 billion (as of Oct 18, 2026, 08:44 UTC).
Litecoin was created in 2011 by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer, as a lighter and faster alternative to Bitcoin. It uses the same proof-of-work consensus but with a modified algorithm (Scrypt) that enables faster block times of 2.5 minutes compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes.
With 84 million total supply (four times Bitcoin's) and lower transaction fees, Litecoin is optimized for everyday payments rather than store-of-value use cases. It has consistently remained among the top cryptocurrencies by market cap and was one of the first to implement SegWit and the Lightning Network for faster, cheaper transactions.
