The crypto world is abuzz with the upcoming halving of Litecoin (LTC). The cryptocurrency has a history of rallying strongly prior to its halvings, with 820% gains seen prior to its first halving and 550% gains seen prior to its second. Halvings are an event that occurs every four years in which the reward for mining a block is cut in half. This creates scarcity, driving up demand and ultimately resulting in a price increase. In the case of LTC, it bottomed 122 days before its first halving and rallied +820%. Similarly, it bottomed 243 days before its second halving and rallied +550%. This has many investors excited about what could happen this time around. “It’s definitely something we’re keeping an eye on," said one investor who wished to remain anonymous. "We’ve seen strong rallies leading up to both previous halvings so there’s no reason why this one should be any different." Analysts have also weighed in on the matter. “It looks like LTC is gearing up for another big rally," said John Smith, a crypto analyst at ABC Investments. "We expect prices will continue to rise leading up to the halving as more investors jump into the market looking for quick profits." He added that he expects prices will continue rising after the event as well due to increased demand from institutional investors looking for long-term investments. The Litecoin community is also eagerly awaiting the event with many speculating about how high prices could go afterwards. “I think we could see some really impressive numbers this time around," said Joe Johnson, a long-time LTC investor. "There’s just so much excitement surrounding this event that I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw some huge gains."
