Litecoin has emerged as a standout performer in the cryptocurrency payments sector, overtaking prominent digital currencies such as Dogecoin, Bitcoin, and Ethereum as the top choice for crypto payments on leading Bitcoin payment service provider, Bitpay. Related Reading: Don’t Miss Out: XRP Bull Flag Signals Explosive Price Movement Litecoin At The Forefront Of Crypto Payments In a recent announcement on X (formerly Twitter), the Litecoin team revealed that LTC has claimed the top spot as the most preferred cryptocurrency for payments on Bitpay. Sharing a chart of Bitpay’s payment count by cryptocurrency, the team disclosed that Litecoin has hit a recent milestone, scoring approximately 41.76% of the platform’s total transaction count. Bitpay’s official website has also acknowledged this significant achievement, confirming that “Litecoin is the cryptocurrency most commonly used for transactions” on its payment platform. Surging higher than popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Dogecoin, Litecoin has achieved this milestone by a staggering margin. Bitpay’s data disclosed that Bitcoin’s transaction count hovered at 24.36%, marking a notable decrease of 17%, compared to Litecoin. Meanwhile, Ethereum lags, barely hitting the double-digit mark with a modest 9.05% on Bitpay’s payment count. Even as prominent altcoins like Dogecoin attempt to make their mark, LTC has left them trailing behind. Dogecoin, holding the 4th position in Bitpay’s transaction count, only managed to score 6.8% in the total transaction count. Adding to this recent achievement, the Litecoin Foundation had previously disclosed in January 2024, that Litecoin had hit “a new all-time high of 38.25% on all payments” processed through Bitpay, outpacing both Bitcoin and Dogecoin again. This development underscores the cryptocurrency’s prominence and robust fundamentals, surpassing expectations as it sets a new standard for digital payments. With the latest surge, boasting over 40% in Bitpay’s total transaction count, Litecoin continues to make substantial strides, leveraging the potential opportunities amid the rising adoption rates and surge in user confidence. LTC is now trading at $88.
