  • Litecoin has experienced an 8.4% increase in difficulty over the past week and over 20% YTD.
  • As of this writing, market sentiment towards LTC was negative.

The mining difficulty of Litecoin (LTC), one of the largest proof-of-work (PoW) networks, has soared to an all-time high (ATH), making it more difficult for miners to verify transactions and put new coins into circulation.

As of this writing, mining difficulty has reached 34.58 million, according to AMBCrypto’s analysis of Litecoin Space data. This represents an 8.4% increase in difficulty compared to last week and more than 20% year-to-date (YTD).

Signs of a Secure Network

The spike in mining difficulty is due to a rapid rise in the network hash rate. It recently peaked at 1.03 PetaHashes per second (PH/s).

Hashrate has been steadily rising since its mid-December decline and is 21% higher YTD at press time.

As is well established, mining difficulty is periodically adjusted based on the overall network hash rate.

This is done to ensure that the time it takes to generate a new block remains consistent (e.g. 2.5 minutes on the Litecoin blockchain).

On a broader scale, increases in hash rate and difficulty bode well for network security. This is because we believe it will be more difficult for malicious players to manipulate transactions.

Additionally, the increasing hash rate reflects network growth, which is a bullish signal for the native cryptocurrency LTC in the long term. At least that’s what many optimistic LTC holders believed.

LTC investors are not impressed by mining indices.

However, recent price action has not inspired confidence. According to CoinMarketCap, “digital silver” has fallen 2.72% in the past month and is trading 38% below its 2023 high set shortly after the halving.

The price slump has reduced the network’s overall profitability. According to AMBCrypto’s survey of Santiment data, only about 46% of total supply was profitable, down from 78% in July.

Moreover, at the time of writing, market sentiment towards LTC is negative, affecting the coin’s upside potential in the near term.

A sign of good things to come?

However, there was a silver lining to LTC’s decline in market capitalization. The NVT ratio, which has a negative correlation with trading volume, has been steadily decreasing over the past few months.

This means network utilization is outpacing market capitalization growth, which has historically been interpreted as a long-term bullish signal.
