Why is Litecoin moving today?

Litecoin is up 0.9% over 24 hours at $63.48, essentially tracking Bitcoin's 0.7% gain rather than responding to any LTC-specific catalyst. There's no Litecoin news in today's feed; the move is a broader-market drift, and the weekly picture is worse — LTC is down 7.7% over seven days versus Bitcoin's 2.4% decline, a sign that large-cap altcoins are bearing more of the recent selling.

Sentiment is being pulled in both directions. On the negative side, Ledger users were reportedly drained of over $86 million in a suspected exploit, Tether blacklisted four THORChain vaults holding 1.45 million USDT — halting THORChain's Tron swaps and liquidity-provider operations — and the US moved to seize $1 billion in crypto assets tied to pressure on Iran.

Offsetting that, Thailand finalized rules allowing Bitcoin and Ether ETFs to trade on the Stock Exchange of Thailand from next week, and Blockchain.com applied for CFTC DCM and FCM licenses ahead of a planned $500 million IPO. New York's AG also secured up to $35 million from former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky.
