The Litecoin development team has released Litecoin Core version 0.21.4, which includes important security updates and functional improvements. The update addresses vulnerabilities that could lead to network instability, including a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to perform a DoS attack. The update also improves block propagation latency and solves a vulnerability that could cause network disruptions due to memory depletion. Additionally, the update includes compatibility and reliability improvements for pruned nodes. It is recommended for users to download the new version and report any bugs. This release aligns with the increasing prospects for institutional adoption of Litecoin, with a recent application filed for a Litecoin-based ETF. Long-term investors also continue to show interest in Litecoin, as it recently surpassed Ethereum in the longest average holding period. Litecoin is currently trading at $73.16.
