Since FTX filed for bankruptcy, Litecoin has outperformed all other cryptocurrencies, rising 57% compared to Ethereum ETH/USD , which rose 12%, and Bitcoin BTC/USD gained just 3%.
The rally can be attributed to the upcoming LTC halving in mid-2023 when the block reward will be slashed from 12.5 LTC to 6.25 LTC, according to Delphi Digital, a crypto research platform.
Price Action: At the time of writing, apex crypto BTC was trading at $16,998, down 0.16% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
