Litecoin launched in 2011 as a lighter, faster alternative to Bitcoin, often described as 'silver to Bitcoin's gold.' It produces blocks about every 2.5 minutes, four times faster than Bitcoin, making everyday payments quicker and cheaper. Litecoin shares Bitcoin's capped-supply model, with a maximum of 84 million coins and a halving roughly every four years. The LTC price tracks payment adoption, its halving cycle, and the broader crypto market. The value shown on this page is the live USD spot rate from the same feed Coinvertor uses inside the app.
