Litecoin (LTC) recorded its highest price in four months today amid a broad upward trend. This coin has emerged as the top weekly performer, outperforming Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP (XRP).
Moreover, market analysts are becoming increasingly optimistic about Litecoin's prospects, expecting the value of digital silver to rise significantly.
Litecoin Price Reaches 4-Month High…Increasing Adoption
According to BeInCrypto Markets data, Litecoin's price has increased by 40.5% over the past month. In fact, this morning LTC rose to $125 for the first time since early March.
At the time of writing, this altcoin is trading at $121.8, up 9.43% in the past 24 hours. Additionally, trading volume has increased by 210% to $1.7 billion, indicating heightened market activity.
On CoinGecko, Litecoin topped the weekly gains chart with over 15% increase. Moreover, according to Artemis data, Litecoin's strong performance over the past 7 days has made the 'store of value' category the best-performing sector in the market.
Beyond market performance, Litecoin's adoption has also increased. Cryptocurrency payment provider CoinGate has observed changes in cryptocurrency payment preferences. While Bitcoin continues to lead, Litecoin has risen to second place.
Additionally, the Litecoin MWEB balance has nearly reached 170,000 LTC and has been steadily increasing since mid-2023, indicating growing demand.
Litecoin Price Prediction…Analyst Opinions?
Meanwhile, analysts are pointing out reasons why Litecoin could grow significantly in 2025. From a fundamental perspective, Tanaka emphasized several factors that could support Litecoin's rise.
- Institutional Interest: The analyst noted that if MEI Pharma expands Litecoin finances to $400 million or over $600 million, it could remove 4-5% of Litecoin supply from circulation, reducing supply.
- Fixed Supply: Tanaka mentioned that approximately 5% of total supply could be permanently locked. This scarcity could drive Litecoin's price up as supply decreases.
- Undervaluation: Despite offering faster and cheaper transactions than Bitcoin, Litecoin remains undervalued, trading at a fraction of Bitcoin's price while increasing real-world adoption.
- Technological Advancements: The analyst added that Litecoin was the first to implement SegWit, host the first Lightning Network transaction, and add privacy upgrades like MWEB. It has also maintained uptime without hacks, scandals, or issues for 13 years.
- Core Focus: Unlike other blockchain networks, Litecoin has focused on becoming 'simply sound money'.
"Litecoin is not trying to be the next Solana, not chasing AI, games, meme coins… No pre-mine, no central issuer, no VC taxes, no ambiguity. Pure P2P digital cash as Satoshi intended. Sometimes you need to note that winning quietly matters. Litecoin might be the most inevitable." Tanaka said.
Tanaka also hypothesized that if Bitcoin reaches $500,000, Litecoin could rise to $25,000, which is just 5% of Bitcoin's value. Similarly, if Bitcoin reaches $1 million, Litecoin could reach $100,000.
"Even conservatively, LTC reaching $1,000 is not just hope, but a fundamentally sound bet," he wrote.
From a technical perspective, one analyst pointed out that Litecoin is showing the same pattern it followed before its 5x price surge in 2020.

Another analyst pointed to $150 as the next short-term target. He mentioned that LTC is showing stronger performance than many altcoins and that a return to all-time highs could be approaching.
However, the possibility of Litecoin achieving these ambitious targets remains controversial. Investors should conduct their own research before making investment decisions.
