Litecoin price held steady on Wednesday, a day after the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the Canary LTC ETF. Litecoin ( LTC ) rose to $93.70, its highest level since March 26, and 43% above its lowest level in April. The coin rallied even the SEC delayed approving a spot LTC ETF by Canary , a fast-growing asset management company. As a result, the odds of approval on Polymarket dropped to 75% from this week’s high of 80%. A spot LTC ETF is seen as having higher chances of approval due to Litecoin’s similarity to Bitcoin. Both are proof-of-work coins, with key differences in their maximum supply caps and mining algorithms. Bitcoin ( BTC ) has a maximum supply of 21 million coins and uses the SHA-256 algorithm. Litecoin, on the other hand, has a cap of 84 million and utilizes the Scrypt algorithm, which is more memory-intensive.
