Litecoin Jumps 7% to 8-Month High, Defying Altcoin Correction

  • LTC gained over 7% in 24 hours, with intraday gains reaching 13%
  • Price is up about 70% from its May low, an 8-month high
  • Open interest in LTC futures rose 12% in 24 hours
  • About $170,000 in shorts liquidated on Binance, Bybit and OKX in one hour
Why it matters: Litecoin's relative strength amid a broader altcoin pullback is being fueled by anticipation of Grayscale's spot ETF filing with the SEC in September.
