Litecoin’s network processes a whopping $2.85 billion in transactions, which is over 50% of its market cap. This surpasses the transaction volume of many prominent Layer 1 blockchain networks and potentially demonstrates an increased level of whale activity.
For example, Dogecoin has a market capitalization nearly three times that of Litecoin. However, despite its higher market cap, the popular meme coin has a much lower volume of large transactions, with approximately $590 million.
This significant difference suggests that the Litecoin network experiences considerable activity from whales, or large holders, who play a substantial role in driving the network’s transaction volume.
