Litecoin (LTC) made a big comeback in 2024. With rumors about an LTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) garnering approval surfacing, the bearish momentum from last year was carried into 2025 as well. Throughout the past 12 months, the altcoin has recorded a massive surge of 76.53%. The asset went from trading at a low of $50.43 all the way to a high of $146.61. While the community assumed that LTC would claim $200, the asset was moving slower than expected.

Several factors have fueled the growth of LTC. The likelihood that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would approve an ETF based on Litecoin is 90%, according to Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas. This prediction left the community looking at LTC through a bullish lens. More recently, Santiment noted that LTC handled $9.6 billion in daily transactions, a startling 243% growth from only five months ago.
March Price Prediction
According to data from CoinCodex, March is expected to be a bullish month for Litecoin. But the chances of the altcoin reaching $250 were diminished. The firm revealed that in comparison to present rates, analysts predict that LTC’s price will increase by 19.11% in March. The maximum price that the asset will trade at stands at $193.21. Sadly, this is a far cry from the desired $250 mark. In addition, the average trading price of LTC in March is $147. The lowest that the asset will be priced at is $117.56.
