It\u2019s a performance that saw Litecoin (LTC) rank among the top gainers in the crypto market\u2019s mega-cap coins, a feat that aligned with increased buy-side pressure.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Litecoin price up?<\/h2>\n<p>Crypto market intelligence and onchain metrics platform Santiment pointed out that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/santimentfeed\/status\/1965830018413842750\">Litecoin\u2019s price gain<\/a> came amid an aggressive shift by whales. For instance, wallets holding 1,000 LTC or more accumulated 181,000 additional coins on Sept. 9.<\/p>\n<p>The buying pressure alluded to the market\u2019s reaction to bullish news, analysts at Santiment noted. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u26a1\ufe0f Litecoin has jumped ahead of other altcoins as 1K+ <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24LTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">$LTC<\/a> wallets added 181K more coins to their wallets yesterday, likely reacting to bullish news.

Recently, MEI Pharma, rebranded as Lite Strategy, became the first company listed in the U.S. to adopt LTC as a primary reserve asset. Charlie Lee, the creator of Litecoin, is a board member of Lite Strategy, the company that has committed $100 million toward a Litecoin treasury strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Santiment says the move has ignited huge interest in LTC.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Litecoin price advanced more than 5% to above $118 as momentum was catalyzed by aggressive whale accumulation and exchange-traded fund buzz.
