Crypto Market Movers: Tezos, Litecoin Surge in Last 6 Hours

Tezos (XTZ) +35.3%

Tezos has experienced a remarkable trading volume surge of 164.16% within the last 10 hours, driven primarily by upgrades to its DeFi Liquidity Baking mechanism. This V2 upgrade broadens participation and deepens liquidity for XTZ/token pairs across decentralized exchanges like Quipuswap and Plenty.

#XTZ is a self-amending blockchain platform where token holders govern network upgrades directly. The recent liquidity injection was supported by the Tezos Foundation, enhancing DeFi activity and contributing to a 49.57% price increase over the past 24 hours, with a 6.77% rise in just the last hour.

Given the strong fundamental support from protocol upgrades and increased DeFi engagement, XTZ’s price momentum appears sustainable in the short term. However, traders should watch for potential profit-taking after such rapid gains. Overall, the outlook favors continued upward movement barring broader market downturns.

Litecoin (LTC) +11.77%

Litecoin has broken through the critical $100 threshold, reaching $112.04 with a daily gain of 9.71%, fueled by renewed investor interest in Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies. This surge follows weeks of sideways price action and was further supported by MEI Pharma’s announcement of a $100 million PIPE deal involving LTC for its crypto treasury.

#LTC is a well-established digital currency known for fast transaction confirmations and low fees. The recent stake increase by Luxxfolio and institutional adoption signals growing confidence in Litecoin’s utility and store-of-value potential amid rising demand for PoW assets.

The current bullish sentiment around LTC is likely to sustain near-term price gains, especially if institutional interest continues to grow. However, as with all crypto assets, volatility remains high, so cautious optimism is advised. Price levels above $110 could be tested further if momentum holds.
