Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee. It was created based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs in terms of the hashing algorithm used. Litecoin uses the memory intensive Scrypt proof of work mining algorithm. Scrypt allows consumer-grade hardware such as GPU to mine those coins.  Why Litecoin? Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has evolved from Bitcoin after its own popularity in the industry, this alternative, or ‘altcoin’ has emerged to allow investors to diversify their digital currency package, according to Investopedia. Litecoin is one of the most prominent altcoins and was created by former Google employee and Director of Engineering at Coinbase, Charlie Lee. Litecoin was the first to alter Bitcoin and the most significant difference is that it takes 2.5 minutes for Litecoin to generate a block, or transaction, in comparison to Bitcoin's 10 minutes.  ‘While this matters little to traders, miners who use hardware to run Bitcoin's network cannot switch over to Litecoin. This keeps bigger mining conglomerates away from Litecoin because they cannot easily optimize their profits by swapping to another coin, contributing to a more decentralized experience. Litecoin also has bigger blocks, and more coins in circulation, making it more affordable and swift when transacting,’ Investopedia explained.  As explained above, Litecoin can transact a lot faster than Bitcoin, but there are also a number of other characteristics that investors need to know before trading. Litecoin can handle higher volumes of transactions because of the capability of transacting faster and if Bitcoin attempted to transact on the scale of its altcoin, a code update would be needed. However, Litecoin’s blocks would be larger, but with more ‘orphaned blocks'. The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks - this is theoretical in the case of both networks having the same hashing power.  Litecoin Technical Details: The transaction confirmation time taken for Litecoin is about 2.5 minutes on average (as compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes). The Litecoin network is scheduled to cap at 84 million currency units.   Litecoin has inspired many other popular alternative currencies (eg. Dogecoin) because of its Scrypt hashing algorithm in order to prevent ASIC miners from mining those coins. However it is said that by the end of this year, Scrypt ASIC will enter the mass market.

Litecoin

Litecoin is trending with community members highlighting a recent price pump, while others suggest it's a bull trap.

The U.S. dollar has weathered the government shutdown relatively well and has been broadly rising, with the greenback now rising for three consecutive sessions. In the Asian session, the currency rose 0.33% to 98.91, a level not seen since Aug.11, although it is still down 9% for the year-to-date period.The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), an index that measures the value of the greenback against a basket of six currencies belonging to the country’s major trading partners, was up 0.33% to $98.91 early Wednesday. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UUP">Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP)</a> rose 0.43% in overnight trading, according to Yahoo Finance.The U.S. currency’s revival could be attributed to the decline in rate-cut chatter, as government data releases have been&nbsp;delayed, and some Federal Reserve speakers who made public appearances recently issued hawkish comments. Kansas City Fed’s Jeff Schmid emphasized on Monday the need to remain vigilant about inflation that has remained sticky. His views were echoed by Minneapolis Fed’s Neel Kashkari, who said any drastic rate cuts would stoke inflation.&nbsp;The greenback also received support from geopolitical developments that weighed down on some of its major counterparts. The Japanese yen has depreciated by approximately 3.5% against the dollar this week following the announcement that pro-stimulus leader Sanae Takaichi will be the new leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). While the Japanese stock market welcomed the election, the yen weakened to its lowest since February on concerns about fiscal extravagance.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the political impasse in France, following the resignation of Sébastien Lecornu after serving in office for less than a month, has hurt the euro, the common currency of the 27-nation EU bloc. Lecornu’s resignation was precipitated by his inability to push through austerity measures in parliament. French President Emmanuel Macron is now left with the responsibility of choosing another Prime Minister or dissolving parliament and holding new elections. On a positive note, Lecornu has reportedly accepted a request from Macron to work on a plan for the “stability of the country.”The political instability in Europe’s second-largest economy has sparked concerns about a broader eurozone-wide debt crisis.

The&nbsp; U.S. dollar is seen extending its gains early Thursday as the relief rally set off by the Federal Reserve’s decision to take the interest rate down by a quarter-point for the first time this year continues to play out.The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which ended Wednesday’s session up about 0.25% at 96.87 after the Fed decision, has tacked on more gains in the overnight session. At last check, the DXY was up 0.34% at $97.20, which, however, marks a 10.4% drop for the year-to-date (YTD) period.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UUP">Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance of the Deutsche Bank Long US Dollar Index (USDX) Futures Index, has lost 7.5% this year.

The message volume on the stream was at ‘low’ levels.The U.S. dollar had fallen to a four-year low against the euro before the Fed decision.Wells Fargo Emerging Market Strategist Brendon McKenna said the pullback in Asian currencies against the dollar on Thursday is due to the Fed and Chair Powell remaining non-committal to additional rate cuts, according to a Bloomberg <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-17/dollar-boost-from-fed-to-weigh-on-asian-currencies-analysts-say">report</a>.“‘Risk management cut’ in particular, I interpreted as somewhat hawkish,” he said.The report also stated that TD Securities analysts remained cautious about the dollar's rebound. “We remain bearish on the U.S. dollar and see any technical U.S. dollar bounces as good opportunities to sell,” analysts at the firm said.&nbsp;The relatively resilient growth in the rest of the world, combined with the Fed's easing, could create an “active risk-on” environment, fueling gains in both risk- and rate-sensitive currencies, which are currently cheap — such as the Japanese yen and Australian dollar, they added.Rabobank strategist Jane Foley saw the uptick in the dollar as due to short-covering, according to a separate Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-18/dollar-rises-most-in-two-weeks-as-fed-seen-as-being-less-dovish?taid=68cbad8fcc3cde0001e305b1&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_content=business&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">report.</a> “Since a lot of Fed easing was priced in ahead of yesterday’s meeting and given the market has been short dollars for some time, the tone thus triggered a little covering of dollar shorts,” she said.Credit Agricole strategist Valentin Marinov concurred with the view. “Currency investors are squaring their dollar shorts after the Fed failed to validate the uber dovish market expectations ahead of its September policy meeting,” he said.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp; <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/goldman-sachs-sticks-to-forecast-for-4-fed-rate-cuts-after-fed-meeting/chDcVByR3G9">Goldman Sachs Sticks To Forecast For 4 Fed Rate Cuts After Powell Spooks Market With ‘Risk-Management Cut’ Comment</a>

The U.S. dollar continued to trade lower in overnight trading following a two-session retreat that began with the release of the monthly U.S. jobs data on Friday.The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the greenback against a basket of currencies belonging to Washington’s major trading partners, edged down 0.06% to 97.36 late Monday. The index, which traded at 98.5 ahead of the non-farm payrolls report, has lost nearly 1% since then.The overnight low of 97.32 marks the lowest level since July 23, when it dipped to an intraday trough of 97.21.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UUP">Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance of the Deutsche Bank Long US Dollar Index (USDX) Futures Index, has gained over 1% since it hit a 52-week low of $26.81 on July 1.In overnight trading, the UUP ETF was unchanged, while it has lost 7.17% year-to-date (YTD) compared to the 11.37% gain for the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> and the 13.53% advance by the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a>.&nbsp;In a post on X, Gold bull and economist Peter Schiff&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1965157327268708857">said</a>, “Get out of the U.S. dollar now, before it's too late. Got gold?” He based his call on a looming Fed rate cut. “Ever since Alan Greenspan rescued the stock market after the 1987 crash, the Fed has made a series of increasingly bad monetary policy mistakes,” he said.&nbsp;“But the mistake the Fed is about to make will likely be the worst yet.”On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward the UUP ETF remained ‘bearish’ (32/100) by late Monday, but the message volume was at ‘extremely high’ levels.Last Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the economy added jobs at an anemic pace of 22,000 in August and the jobless rate climbed to the highest level since October 2021. The weak data sent rate cut bets soaring to 100%, with the CME FedWatch Tool showing that some futures traders even braced for a 50 basis point cut at the upcoming September 16-17 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.Forex traders are likely to keenly watch the BLS’ preliminary&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bls.gov/sae/notices/2025/preliminary-benchmark-announcement-2025.htm">estimate</a> for the March 2025 annual benchmark revision, which is scheduled to be announced at 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday. The revision is done to the data from the Establishment Survey.The data used for the revision comes from the Quarterly Census of Employment And Wages (QCEW), which provides comprehensive employment counts based on state unemployment insurance (UI) tax records for the preceding March.Economists at Wall Street firms such as Wells Fargo, Comerica and Pantheon expect the BLS’s preliminary benchmark revision for the year through March 2024 to show a nearly 800,000 downward adjustment, a Bloomberg report&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-08/another-us-jobs-markdown-sets-stage-for-fed-cut-bls-criticism">said.</a> This translates to a roughly 67,000 downward revision per month, on average.&nbsp;Other firms, such as Nomura, BofA, and Royal Bank of Scotland, have put the numbers closer to one million.&nbsp;Last year, the BLS reduced the previously reported job additions for the 12-month period that ended March 2024 by 818,000. President Donald Trump&nbsp;cited this as one of the reasons for firing former BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-says-biden-appointed-labor-statistics-chief-fired-over-biggest-miscalculation-in-50-years/chrX5R6RdRa">accusing</a> her of inflating the numbers to make the previous Biden administration’s economic performance appear more favorable.Another sharp downward revision would question the strength seen in the first four months of the year, when the economy added an average of 127,000 jobs. It was only since May that the number has looked bad, averaging 27,000 per month.Confirmation of a weak labor market is seen as the trigger that&nbsp;could prompt the Federal Reserve, under Jerome Powell, to announce its first rate cut this year. Morgan Stanley, which has a more conservative estimate for the annual revision (50,000 per month), said in a note released Friday that “It will be hard for markets or the Fed to ignore this signal in light of a moderating economy.”A Fed rate cut would weigh down on the dollar, given that it would decrease the appeal of investing in the U.S. and, in turn, reduce the demand for the dollar,&nbsp;which also faces pressure from lower bond yields. Lower growth and the Fed’s willingness to tolerate above-target inflation could push yields further lower, posing headwinds to the dollar.Morgan Stanley&nbsp;analyst James Lord reportedly said in a note on Friday that the firm wasn’t convinced the dollar weakness has run its course. “On the contrary, we think its decline is barely halfway through,” he added.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/rupert-murdoch-ends-succession-drama-as-lachlan-emerges-sole-heir-to-media-throne/chw0pocRdrx">Rupert Murdoch Ends Succession Drama As Lachlan Emerges Sole Heir To Media Throne: All Eyes On News Corp, Fox Stocks</a>

‘Get Out Of US Dollar Before It’s Too Late,’ Says Peter Schiff As Greenback Wallows Near 7-Week Low: Spotlight Shifts To BLS Annual Revision

Peter Schiff Warns as US Dollar Hits 7-Week Low; Spotlight on BLS Annual Revision

Confirmation of a weak labor market is seen as the trigger that can push the Federal Reserve under Jerome Powell to announce its first cut this year. 


Billionaire investor Ray Dalio warned on Thursday that a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve, despite elevated inflation, could deepen risks of stagflation.“I fear that short-term rates and the dollar will go down, especially relative to gold, long-term interest rates will rise a bit, so the yield curve will become steeper, and stocks will do relatively poorly despite the easing,” Dalio wrote during&nbsp;a Reddit AMA responding to a question about the impact of a Fed rate cut in&nbsp;September. He added that such a shift would signal investors wanting to rotate out of debt into alternative stores of wealth. Dailo said that the move would also indicate that the Fed is “in a bind” and that the risk of stagflation was rising.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/DXY">U.S. Dollar Index</a> (DXY) has declined by more than 2% so far this year and by nearly 10% over the past 12 months.&nbsp;On Thursday afternoon, DXY was trading up 0.2% with retail sentiment on Stocktwits trending in ‘bullish’ territory over the past day.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/GLD">SPDR Gold Shares ETF</a> (GLD) has gained 33% this year and more than 40% over the past 12 months. GLD edged 0.5% lower by Thursday afternoon, after hitting a record high of $329.45 in the previous session.The broader equities market was trading in the green with the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF</a> (SPY) up 0.55%, the&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/DIA">SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF</a> (DIA) gaining 0.74%, and the Nasdaq-100 tracking&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust</a> (QQQ) moving 0.62% higher. However, retail sentiment around QQQ on Stocktwits dipped to ‘extremely bearish’ from ‘bearish’ territory over the past day. Answering a separate question on strategist Peter Zeihan’s view that China faces an inevitable collapse within the next decade, Dalio stated he wouldn't bet on it any more than he would bet on the United States' collapse over the next decade. “I think it's not smart to place that bet because they both have big strengths and big weaknesses. What I would bet on is these two powers having lots of big conflicts that I pray don't take the form of a military war, though I am confident they will continue to take the form of trade, economic, technological, capital, and geopolitical influence wars,” he said.Get updates to this developing story <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ray-dalio-warns-fed-rate-cut-in-september-could-trigger-stagflation-risk/chwdgimRdpP">directly on Stocktwits.</a>Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/blink-charging-to-accept-crypto-payments-across-network-eyes-year-end-rollout/chwdJoDRdYM">Blink Charging To Accept Crypto Payments Across Network, Eyes Year-End Rollout</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Ray Dalio Warns Fed Rate Cut In September Could Trigger Stagflation Risk

The billionaire investor predicts a weaker dollar, a steeper yield curve, and stocks doing relatively poorly despite the easing.

The dollar has recouped most of its losses seen since last Friday when the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) retreated below the 98 level to a one-month low.Friday’s weakness stemmed from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's suggestion in his Jackson Hole address that a rate cut could be forthcoming at the September meeting.&nbsp;DXY was down 0.04% at $98.39 early Tuesday after it ended 0.73% higher at $98.43 on Monday. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UUP">Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP)</a>, meanwhile, advanced 0.80%.&nbsp;The UUP is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that provides a cost-effective and convenient way to track the value of the U.S. dollar relative to a basket of the six major world currencies:&nbsp; the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc.The dollar is likely to be choppy this week as forex traders sift through key data that has implications for the near-term interest rates. A falling interest rate environment is negative for the dollar as it reduces U.S. investment appeal among foreign investors and, in turn, tempers demand for the greenback.The weekly jobless claims data, the advance second-quarter GDP data, and the July personal income and spending report, which comprises the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge — the price consumption expenditure index — are among the data that can cause a flutter in the currency market.&nbsp;The dollar has also been facing pressure amid moves among BRICS and a few other nations to diversify their currency reserves away from the dollar and use alternative currencies for trade purposes. President Donald Trump’s tariffs have exacerbated this move.&nbsp;After starting the year at 108.53, the DXY pulled back sharply, coinciding with the announcement of Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs. Although the index recovered slightly from the lows, it came under renewed selling pressure amid the tariff uncertainty.It fell as low as 96.38 on July 1 but has mainly been seeing a consolidation move under 100.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/DXY_5_YEAR_CHART_png_3fe78e6a4e.webp" alt="DXY5-YEAR CHART.png">Source: KoyfinFor the year, the DXY has lost 9.4% and the UUP ETF about 6.36%In a report released in early August, Morgan Stanley said it expects the U.S. dollar to lose another 10% by the end of 2026. The firm noted that the greenback fell about 11% in the first half of the year, marking the largest decline in more than 50 years and ending a 15-year bull cycle.“We're likely at the intermission rather than the finale,” says David Adams, head of G10 FX Strategy at Morgan Stanley. “The second act for the dollar’s weakening should come over the next 12 months, as U.S. interest rates and growth converge with those of the rest of the world.”The firm also cautioned about forex hedging by overseas investors holding dollar-denominated assets, which could further pressure the greenback.JPMorgan analyst Mary Park Durham is bracing for a “prolonged dollar decline, similar to the 2002-2008 period, given its high starting value.” In a note released on Aug. 14, the analyst said despite the potential for further weakness, the dollar's reserve currency status remains intact due to its trustworthiness and the lack of a viable alternative, among other reasons.&nbsp;“While its share of foreign currency reserves, currently at 58%, may continue to gradually decline as some central banks diversify into assets like gold, it is far from being replaced,” she added.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/salesforce-hackers-reportedly-target-farmers-insurance-in-data-breach/chsHli1RdS8">Salesforce Hackers Reportedly Target Farmers Insurance In Data Breach Affecting Over 1M Customers</a>

Economist Steve Hanke Warns Faith In Dollar Is Eroding, Blames It On Trump’s Weaponization Of The Greenback

Hanke cited the findings of Bank of America’s Global Fund Manager survey, which showed that fund managers are the most bearish on the U.S. dollar in 20 years.

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, said on Tuesday that it’s possible that the U.S. dollar may revert to the gold standard.“History shows us that the same cycles repeat time and time again. One such cycle is related to currency devaluation,” Dalio said in a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/RayDalio/status/1952729342124962303">post</a> on X. “Once people start to lose trust in the fiat system, we see a specific cause and effect reaction occur.”A fiat currency is issued by a government and is not backed by a physical commodity like gold or silver. The U.S. and much of the world switched to fiat from the gold standard back in the 1970s. At the time, the country was facing fiscal issues due to large federal deficits resulting from the Vietnam War. According to Dalio, a switch-back may be on the cards.U.S. debt&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/20/the-us-has-36-trillion-in-debt-what-does-that-mean-and-who-owns-it">stands at</a> $36.2 trillion as of mid-2025, which is around 122% of the country’s annual GDP, and it has been rising rapidly.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/DXY">U.S. Dollar Index (DXY)</a> had gained 0.25% in morning trade on Tuesday, but it has dropped nearly 8.8% this year and 4.1% over the past 12 months. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around DXY remained in ‘neutral’ territory over the past day, down from ‘extremely bullish’ a month ago.&nbsp;Dalio anticipates that governments are likely to print more money and use that money to pay off their current debt. However, since the increase in money supply would devalue the currency, nobody would want to hold onto it anymore. “Governments go back and link money to gold,” he wrote, adding that this would be the final step of the cycle.<figure class="image"><a href="https://x.com/RayDalio/status/1952729342124962303?t=_eEEpIZrI-3KseJIHabAKg&amp;s=31" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img style="aspect-ratio:1079/1284;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/IMG_20250805_194606_jpg_f4e18ae484.webp" alt="IMG_20250805_194606.jpg" width="1079" height="1284"></a><figcaption>Source: @RayDalio/X</figcaption></figure>Dalio had&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ray-dalio-says-moodys-credit-warning-does-not-capture-full-us-risk/ch0cxS7Rb8O">warned</a> in July that the Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating was only the tip of the iceberg. “They don’t include the greater risk that countries in debt will print money to pay their debts, thus causing holders of the bonds to suffer losses from the decreased value of the money they’re getting,” he said.Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-warns-eu-of-35-tariff-confirms-india-hike-within-24-hours/chrLqunRd2a">Trump Warns EU Of 35% Tariff, Confirms India Hike Within 24 Hours</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The ETF is down approximately 6.3% year-to-date.The next significant catalyst for the greenback is likely to be Wednesday’s Fed decision. Given a pause decision is factored in, the tone of the post-meeting policy statement of the central bank could have a bearing on the dollar’s move.A dovish Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC statement) and/or Chair Jerome Powell leaving the door open for a September rate cut could exert downward pressure on the dollar.The Bank of Japan is also expected to announce its monetary policy decision on Thursday, which will likely impact the USD-JPY dynamics.&nbsp;Also on the radar of currency traders are a few key U.S. data&nbsp;points due later this week, including the July non-farm payrolls report and the June personal consumption expenditure data, released as part of the Bureau of Economic Analysis’s personal income and spending report.&nbsp;Among currency pairs, the dollar was firmer against commodity currencies such as the Australian and Canadian dollars, but eased against most other major currencies.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/meta-q2-2025-earnings-on-deck-can-zuckerberg-justify-meta-s-ai-bet/choQvvsR5zW">Meta Q2 Earnings On Deck: Can Zuckerberg Justify Massive AI Bet To Wall Street?</a>
