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.

Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, the vision is to create a world computer that anyone can build applications in a decentralized manner; while all states and data are distributed and publicly accessible. Ethereum supports smart contracts in which developers can write code in order to program digital value. Examples of decentralized apps (dapps) that are built on Ethereum includes tokens, non-fungible tokens, decentralized finance apps, lending protocol, decentralized exchanges, and much more.  On Ethereum, all transactions and smart contract executions require a small fee to be paid. This fee is called Gas. In technical terms, Gas refers to the unit of measure on the amount of computational effort required to execute an operation or a smart contract. The more complex the execution operation is, the more gas is required to fulfill that operation. Gas fees are paid entirely in Ether (ETH), which is the native coin of the blockchain. The price of gas can fluctuate from time to time depending on the network demand.

Gold prices were headed for their best monthly gain in 16 years on growing concerns over a U.S. government shutdown and optimism surrounding a potential rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.Spot gold prices rose 1% to $3,871.72 per ounce, another fresh record. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GLD">SPDR Gold Shares ETF</a> (GLD) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.Gold’s rally this week has been driven by growing concerns that the U.S. government will shut down by Wednesday unless Congress approves a temporary funding bill. The yellow metal has gained over 12% this month, on track for the most significant gains since November 2009."I think we're headed to a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing," Vice President JD Vance told reporters after a meeting at the White House with senior members of Congress. The Democrats are pushing to keep healthcare subsidies for low and middle-income households in the stopgap funding measure.“While gold appears overbought, the supportive backdrop is likely to limit any correction,” IG Bank analyst Tony Sycamore said, noting the importance of increased safe-haven demand driven by rising geopolitical tensions in Europe, concerns over the Fed’s independence, and robust buying from central banks and private investors.The shutdown could also delay the crucial jobs data due later this week. Another weak employment report could bolster the chances of more rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which is positive for gold, a commodity denominated in dollars and therefore shares an inverse relationship with the greenback.According to CME Group’s FedWatch tool, traders have priced in a 25-basis-point cut in benchmark interest rates in the Federal Reserve’s next policymaker meeting.“We’re in the early stages of a monetary reset as central banks move off the dollar standard and back to gold. This shift will end U.S. dollar hegemony, raising our interest rates and consumer prices while lowering our standard of living,” economist and famous gold bull Peter Schiff said on X.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-ethereum-gain-amid-strong-etf-inflows-despite-us-shutdown-threat/chDDRxNR3Be">Bitcoin, Ethereum Gain Amid Strong ETF Inflows Despite US Shutdown Threat</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

President Donald Trump on Monday dismissed speculation that gold would face tariffs, after the chatter helped push gold futures to a record high last week.“Gold will not be tariffed,” Trump wrote in a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115011325631302905">post</a> on Truth Social.

U.S. President Donald Trump shouts answers to questions from reporters as he tours the roof of the West Wing of the White House on August 05, 2025, in Washington, DC. 

Trump Announces ‘Gold Will Not Be Tariffed’ – Bullion Prices Remain Down

The President said in a post on Truth Social that the precious metal will not be subjected to tariffs.

The White House is reportedly planning to issue an executive order to clear up any confusion around tariffs on gold bars after futures linked to the precious metal hit a record high on Friday.“The White House intends to issue an executive order in the near future clarifying misinformation about the tariffing of gold bars and other specialty products,” a White House official&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/c2868087-9951-4f04-818f-5082437f603a">told</a> the Financial Times.The update comes after the publication cited&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/78be1315-608d-43c6-b8e7-80b9e18c5ce7">documents</a> on Thursday from the Customs and Border Protection agency, which said&nbsp;one-kilo and 100-ounce gold bars should be classified under a customs code subject to levies. One-kilo bars are the most common form of gold traded on Comex and would deal another blow to Switzerland.&nbsp;On Friday, gold futures hit a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gold-futures-hit-record-high-as-us-plans-tariffs-for-gold-bars/chrnOuBRdEr">record high</a> of $3,534 before paring off some of the gains. Gold futures were trading 0.3% higher at the time of writing, at around $3,463.

When Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs were initially announced, several commodities were exempt, including a bullion category widely believed to cover large gold bars.Gold has been rallying this year, up nearly 30% so far. The decline of the U.S. dollar, inflation concerns, and rising government debt levels have contributed to its uptick.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gold-futures-hit-record-high-as-us-plans-tariffs-for-gold-bars/chrnOuBRdEr">Gold Futures Hit Record High As US Reportedly Plans Tariffs For Gold Bars</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

White House Plans Gold Bar Tariff Clarification After Confusion Sends Gold Soaring: Report 

According to the Financial Times, the White House is planning on issuing an executive order to clarify any “misinformation” around tariffs on gold bars.

Gold futures rose to a record on Wednesday as the uncertainty over the outcome of the 2024 presidential election continues.&nbsp;The precious metal, however, came under some selling pressure in Thursday’s session amid the release of inflation data that casts a cloud on aggressive rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.Notwithstanding the pullback, gold futures have soared nearly 35% for the year-to-date period, outperforming the 23% gain for the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust ($SPY), an exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of the S&amp;P 500 Index.What’s Driving Gold RallyThe imminent U.S. election is seen as a key risk event that is driving the safe-haven gold higher. Nationwide opinion polls have all been unanimous in projecting a close election, with the lead in most cases coming within the margin of error of the survey.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/50839-harris-small-lead-over-trump-trust-in-elections-halloween-october-26-29-2024-economist-yougov-poll">results</a> of the Economist/YouGov survey released Wednesday showed Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of her rival Donald Trump by a point among registered voters and by two points among likely voters. This is well within the survey’s margin of error of +/- 3.4% for registered voters.Saxo Bank Head Of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.home.saxo/content/articles/commodities/will-the-us-election-result-spark-a-gold-correction-30102024">said&nbsp;</a>in a post on Wednesday that rate cuts by the Fed and other central banks are reducing the cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets like gold and silver.“The latest strength is increasingly being seen as a hedge against a potential ‘Red Sweep’ at the 5 November US election, where one political party, in this case, the Republicans, controls both the White House and Congress,” the strategist said.This has pushed up bond yields amid concerns about excessive government spending, likely pushing up the debt-to-GDP ratio higher, and potential reignition of inflationary pressure through tariffs on imports, Hansen said.Following Thursday’s hotter-than-expected inflation data,&nbsp; gold bull and economist Peter Schiff&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1851981708431630573">said</a> instead of selling gold in the wake of the data, investors should be buying it. “Inflation will get a lot hotter than this but the Fed will not take action to fight it. This is extremely bullish for gold,” he said.Against the backdrop, here’s a look at how gold performed in the first year of the presidency of the Republican Trump in 2017 and that of Democrat Joe Biden in 2021.&nbsp;Gold Under TrumpGold futures finished higher during the first year of Trump's presidency. The yellow metal had pulled back sharply ahead of the Nov. 8, 2016 election and barring a sharp spike a day after the election, it declined through mid-Dec. 2016.In 2017, gold saw intermittent rallies and pullbacks. Peaking above the $1,360 level in mid-September, it gave back some of its gains and yet finished the year about 14% higher.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/gold_png_trump_ac694d63ab.png" alt="gold-png-trump.png" width="1920" height="1080"><figcaption>Chart Courtesy of TradingView</figcaption></figure>Gold Under BidenWhen Biden emerged victorious in the election held on Nov. 3, 2020, gold did not have as good a run as under his predecessor. It was a broader downtrend ahead of the election and the continuation of the trend until March 2021.&nbsp;Although the yellow metal staged a recovery, the rally proved short-lived. Gold futures peaked in early June before pulling back. Subsequently, it was locked in a broader consolidation phase.Gold ended 2021 down about 3.6%.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/gold_biden_e97ed921fb.png" alt="gold-biden.png" width="1920" height="1080"><figcaption>Chart Courtesy of TradingView</figcaption></figure>The comparisons may not always be apples-to-apples as the two past presidents have had to contend with entirely different sets of conditions and challenges during their times at office. Biden took over from Trump an economy that was limping back to normalcy after a pandemic that impacted consumers, businesses and economies world over.&nbsp;As of 1:24 pm, the&nbsp;SPDR Gold Shares ($GLD) fell 1.66% to $253.22.A few in the retail crowd recommended buying the precious metals, citing imminent economic and geopolitical risks.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/geffaxp/message/590754590</stembedurl>Others see gold spiking at least until the election and expect it to get a further boost from Fed rate cuts.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/TheSaint229/message/590606561</stembedurl>Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tmtg-core-civic-humana-stocks-poised-for-gains-with-trump-victory-retail-sentiment-mixed/cJ2urOCRJp">TMTG, CoreCivic, Humana Stocks Poised For Gains With Trump Victory: Retail Sentiment Mixed</a>For updates and corrections email <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:newsroom@stocktwits.com">newsroom@stocktwits.com</a>&nbsp;
