Litecoin Lists on OTC Market but Faces String Resistance at $45.5

Grayscale— a leader in digital currency asset management of public and private funds, has received FINRA consent with respect to Bitcoin Cash Trust and Litecoin Trust for public quotations on OTC Market Group. The two are listed under the symbol $BCHG and $LTCN. The diversified exposure will lead to extended reach amidst 10,000 US and global securities as a breakthrough in the category of digital assets.

In this regard, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash have made a remarkable entry on Grayscale to extend the reach of the network and adoption of these digital tokens, which otherwise has not yet happened for other cryptos of the global crypto market. The LTC price may not entice enough, but the recent listing will necessarily lead to inevitable institutional investors joining the network and splurging in the digital asset avenue.

This simplification of trading through listing on the OTC Market will lead to the mass adoption of the tokens by the potential inverts who otherwise were lacking to trade through cryptocurrency exchanges.

LTC, however, is not a manipulated token and is an investment for the long-term. With a gradual rush in the altcoin market yesterday, Litecoin, along with IOTA, TRON, Augur, etc., was seen gaining intraday momentum.
