Litecoin's daily transactions, currently at 180,000, significantly surpass Zcash's pre-pump peak of 9,000, indicating robust network activity. The cryptocurrency market is abuzz with speculation as Litecoin (LTC) appears to be mirroring the pre-pump phase that propelled Zcash (ZEC) to new heights. A recent chart analysis by crypto analyst @MASTERBTCLTC highlights a striking similarity between the two assets, suggesting that Litecoin could be on the verge of a significant upward move.
The chart compares the transaction volumes and price trajectories of ZEC and LTC, noting that Zcash saw a dramatic surge to 9,000 transactions per day before its pump, while Litecoin currently handles 180,000 transactions daily—a network effect 20 times larger than Zcash post-rise.
Privacy Features and Market Categorization Boost Appeal
This comparison has fueled optimism among investors, with the analyst predicting that a Litecoin breakout could push daily transactions beyond 1 million. Adding to the excitement, CoinMarketCap recently categorized Litecoin under the privacy category, a move attributed to its MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (MWEB) privacy features. This reclassification could attract privacy-conscious users, potentially driving demand and price appreciation.
Despite some skepticism about whether LTC can replicate ZEC’s rally, the analyst argues that suppressed transaction volumes may indicate accumulation by large players, setting the stage for a potential FOMO-driven surge.
Challenges and Outlook for Sustained Momentum
However, challenges remain. Historical data shows Litecoin has struggled with sustained momentum, often hampered by sell-offs from bagholders. The current price hovering around $83.79, with some predicting a bottom at $81, adds to the uncertainty.
If Litecoin can overcome these hurdles, the combination of its robust network, enhanced privacy features, and market recognition could lead to a significant rally. As of November 6, 2025, all eyes are on LTC to see if it will break out or continue its consolidation.
