Trade Alt-coin Litecoin
Much like its other cryptocurrency counterparts, its price movement is characterized by exciting swings, frequent reversals and dynamic patterns. Litecoin was one of the earliest Bitcoin ‘spinoff’ cryptocurrencies launched in October of 2011. Litecoin is not only a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency but also an open-source software. Since its launch Litecoin has been one of the top ten cryptocurrencies according to market cap. Trade Litecoin with all of easyMarkets competitive conditions and tight spreads.

Dynamic Price Movement
Cryptocurrencies in general are affected by supply, demand and trader/investor sentiment. During the many rallies we have seen prices move dynamically from historic highs, then correct downwards.

CFDs are arguably the easiest way to trade the price of Litecoin and the other cryptocurrencies easyMarkets offers. Trade without the need to sign up for a crypto wallet or exchange.
LTC/USD
Trade Litecoin against the US dollar, giving you the ability to access more news and data. This allows you to make more strategic choices when trading the Litecoin/US dollar currency pair.

FAQs
One of the biggest benefits of trading Litecoin or any of the cryptocurrencies that easyMarkets offers is security. easyMarkets is a regulated broker that keeps client funds in segregated accounts. There are many unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges on the internet and even creditable exchanges have been subject to attacks and ‘cyber-heists’ by hackers. It’s also convenient, you can trade multiple cryptocurrencies without the need for a wallet or to sign up for an exchange. In fact, your easyMarkets account allows you to trade even more instruments including shares, commodities, precious metals, indices and currencies.
easyMarkets also offers unique trading tools that you wouldn’t have access to on an exchange. Trade with locked-in maximum risk without restricting your potential upside and without spreads with easyTrade. You can trade both upwards and downwards trends, something that you can’t do when you trade Litecoin directly on an exchange. With easyMarkets, you also have access to leverage, another trading condition not available to you when trading Litecoin or other cryptocurrencies on an exchange.
Although easyMarkets instrument offerings are constantly expanding, at the moment we offer our traders Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash and Stellar. This gives them the choice depending on their investing and trading goals and strategies.
Each cryptocurrency has a different set of characteristics that affect its price movements. One of the biggest distinctions between Litecoin and Bitecoin, is the price. In the beginning of 2021 Bitcoin surged but held its value around 40,000 & 50,000. Litecoin on the other hand surged momentarily above $200 but stayed between $120 to $170, making it a bit more accessible than its ‘older brother’.
Blockchain is a type of database, recording transactions in blocks of data that are chained together. A new block is created every time a block is full and it is chain to the succeeding block. Although blockchain can store various types of data, it is usually a ledger dedicated to recording cryptocurrency transactions.
Litecoin is cryptocurrency or a virtual currency. Like its older brother Bitcoin, it is blockchain based, but with distinction that Litecoin is also an open-source software. You can trade Litecoin just like Bitcoin and it actually was initially designed to be a compliment to Bitcoin.
Exactly how you would trade any other CFD instrument. If you expect the currency pair Litecoin/US dollar to drop, you ‘sell’ when you think the price is going to go up you ‘buy’. Of course trading involves much more than this simple ‘buy’, ‘sell’ transaction. If you want more information regarding the fundamentals of trading visit our Learn Centre for videos, articles and even lessons about trading.
Simply it is any cryptocurrency or virtual currency that isn’t Bitcoin. Litecoin is one of the few first ‘coins’ to succeed the king of Cryptocurrencies; Bitcoin.
