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 surging, fueled by speculation around a potential ETF and positive technical indicators, leading to renewed interest in the crypto asset. The community is actively discussing price targets and potential breakouts, while also debating whether this rally will be sustained. Some traders are pointing to Litecoin's historical performance relative to Bitcoin, suggesting it is undervalued.

United States Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro said Thursday that Washington will maintain tariffs on steel and aluminum with no exemptions for the European Union.“There will be no exemptions, no exclusions for steel and aluminum tariffs,” Navarro told reporters. He noted that the U.S. added more than 400 new products to the tariff list this week to curb manipulation and circumvention. “Every time we try to give an exemption or exclusion to one of our allies, they abuse it totally. We learned that it was a slippery slope,” Navarro said, recalling Trump’s previous term in office.Navarro also praised the administration’s 15% tariff on cars, describing it as a cornerstone of Trump’s trade strategy with Europe. “Anybody who criticizes Trump’s policy has to look at the president’s magnificent achievement in dealing with the EU,” he said.His comments come after the U.S. and EU&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/us-eu-announce-tariffs-autos-pharma/chsSuh2Rdid">issued</a> a joint statement earlier on Thursday, formalizing the trade deal announced back in July. The statement also included the possibility of lowering the 15% tariffs on cars, but only if Europe takes steps to lower tariffs on imported U.S. goods as promised.“In many ways I can’t think of a deal more important than the one with the EU. It is, after all, one of the largest entities in the world. It’s important not just economically but strategically, yet for many, many years it has been taking unfair advantage of the U.S.—consistently higher tariffs, consistently higher non-tariff barriers,” Navarro added.U.S. markets were trending lower ahead of Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole on Friday. The&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLX">VanEck Steel ETF</a> (SLX) fell 0.5% in afternoon trade, and the&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/IYM">iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF</a> (IYM) edged 0.1% lower.

Oil rebounded on strong demand signals and easing trade tensions, boosting XOP and SLX while pressuring XRT, CRAK, JETS, and GDX.

The U.K. is racing to finalize a trade agreement with President Donald Trump to avoid higher U.S. steel tariffs ahead of the July 9 deadline.“We are working with the U.S. to get this over the line as soon as possible,” U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s spokesperson, Tom Wells, told reporters on Monday, as&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-07/uk-races-to-get-us-to-cut-steel-tariffs-ahead-of-key-deadline">cited</a> by Bloomberg. “The best thing we can do for industry is to get this deal implemented.”&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLX">VanEck Steel ETF (SLX)</a> was down more than 1.3% in morning trade. The ETF has gained nearly 20% this year and 4% over the past 12 months. Despite the downswing, retail sentiment on Stocktwits around SLX improved to ‘bullish’ territory from ‘neutral’ a week ago.&nbsp;At stake is the U.K.’s exemption from a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum exports to the U.S. The country is currently subject to a 25% duty, but that could double unless the trade deal between the two countries, known as the U.S.-U.K. Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD), signed in May, is fully implemented before next week’s deadline.Steel exports to the U.S. are a key part of the U.K. economy, with the American market being its second-largest customer. Trump has warned that if the U.K. is found to be non-compliant with the EPD, tariffs “on or after July 9” may be raised.In February, Trump instated 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum. In June, those were doubled for most countries – but the U.K. received a temporary reprieve due to the EPD. Unless a final agreement is reached, that exemption may be lifted.In the U.S., steelmakers have generally backed the tariffs, arguing they help shield American jobs and protect the industry from underpriced imports. The American Iron and Steel Institute said the duties help guard against market disruptions caused by global oversupply.U.S. equity markets opened in the red on Monday even after the Trump administration hinted that the July 9 tariff deadline could be extended to August 1. The&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> edged 0.25% lower, while the&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco Trust Series 1 (QQQ)</a> ETF, which tracks the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, was down 0.4%.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-america-party-to-accept-bitcoin-tesla-ceo-says-fiat-is-hopeless/chFtkIIR577">Elon Musk’s ‘America Party’ To Accept Bitcoin – Tesla CEO Says ‘Fiat Is Hopeless’</a>
