Litecoin (LTC) has seen a sharp uptick in activity, outperforming several altcoins after a wave of bullish developments triggered renewed whale accumulation.
Data from Santiment shows wallets holding over 1,000 LTC collectively added 181,000 coins in a single day, marking one of the largest daily jumps in recent months.
The surge came alongside two key catalysts. First, Grayscale filed for a Litecoin ETF, extending its push to convert crypto trusts into exchange-traded products after doing the same with Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Second, MEI Pharma announced a rebrand to Lite Strategy and disclosed that it had secured $100 million worth of LTC for its corporate treasury, signaling institutional interest in the asset.
Whale behavior confirmed the impact of these events. Santiment recorded 349 transactions above $1 million within 12 hours of the announcements, the highest concentration of large-scale activity in more than two months.
This spike coincided with a 5.5% price gain for LTC, reinforcing how quickly investor sentiment can pivot when both institutional adoption and regulatory steps align.
For Litecoin, which has often been overshadowed by larger assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, this combination of whale accumulation, ETF momentum, and treasury allocation could mark the start of renewed relevance.
