What is Litecoin?

Mimblewimble upgrade introduces a unique security framework that aims at ensuring that the transaction done through the Litecoin network are secure.

Why is Litecoin (LTC) price rallying?

Litecoin has seen a bullish momentum after the long-awaited Mimblewimble upgrade was completed. Litecoin platform has been under development for two years and it shall go to a great length of providing a high privacy-focused transaction to the network.

The upgrade through the Mimblewimble Extension Block (MWEB). It aims at helping users do their transactions confidently. After the upgrade, the network has renewed its on-chain strength.

The current price boost of Litecoin has been mainly contributed by the upgrade that together with the macro factors has triggered the selling pressure and will remain mitigated in February. The massive bullish trend is expected to continue.

The recent upgrade stands to be among the most hyped integration for Litecoin to its community.

LTC MWEB activation rules:
