Litecoin (LTC) blockchain has marked 15 years of uninterrupted operation since its genesis block in 2011. On the anniversary, Grayscale's head of research, Zach Pandl, publicly backed Litecoin, calling it an "OG altcoin." Grayscale is pushing to convert its Grayscale Litecoin Trust (LTCN), with net assets of $97.56 million, into a spot ETF listed on NYSE Arca, with SEC approval still pending. As of October 7, 2026, the network processes around 156,000 transactions daily with an average fee of $0.003.
