Litecoin (LTC) is seeing a substantial surge in price recently, as Bitcoin (BTC) and many other altcoins also move into the green. Reports have revealed that the price gains of LTC are partially due to the integration of the Lightning Network, a Layer 2 protocol that is designed to help with rapid transactions and reduced costs, with the first Light Network transaction being carried out on the Litecoin blockchain.

Furthermore, there has been a growing interest in LTC-20 tokens that has introduced a new utility to the Litecoin protocol. This has resulted in the digital currency becoming a more versatile and diversified blockchain protocol compared to its competitors. Notably, Litecoin has proven its worth as a payment token and as a profitable investment asset.

In addition to the features mentioned, Litecoin is set to undergo its next halving event in the near future and many investors are expecting that this may lead to a further boost in price. This halving will result in a decrease to the rate of generation of new tokens. Therefore the total supply of LTC will become constrained, which would send its price to new heights.

This news is undoubtedly good for Litecoin, and it looks like the digital currency is well on its way to seeing continuous growth, as the price and utility of this token increase.
