U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) extended their winning streak to nine consecutive days on Tuesday, attracting a total of $403 million in net inflows, according to data from SoSoValue. Key Takeaways: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their inflow streak to nine days, adding $403 million on Tuesday. Despite gains, outflows hit Grayscale’s GBTC, Fidelity’s FBTC, and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB. Ethereum spot ETFs also recorded eight straight days of inflows, adding $192 million. Leading the charge was BlackRock’s IBIT, which alone saw $416.35 million in new money, followed by VanEck’s HODL with $19 million. Other funds such as Grayscale’s Mini Bitcoin Trust and Bitwise’s BITB also reported positive inflows for the day. Notable Outflows Hit Grayscale, Fidelity, and Ark Bitcoin Funds However, the gains were partially offset by outflows from three funds: Grayscale’s GBTC lost $41.22 million, Fidelity’s FBTC saw $23 million exit, and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB dropped by $6.21 million. Spot bitcoin ETFs have now amassed a cumulative total of $53.07 billion in net inflows, with $4.4 billion added over the past nine trading days alone. The surge builds on a strong run that began in April, during which these funds have drawn nearly $17 billion. Ethereum spot ETFs have followed suit, marking their eighth straight day of net inflows, with $192.33 million added on Tuesday. Bitcoin currently trades at $117,373, holding steady near a key support level despite pulling back from a recent all-time high of $123,000 set earlier this week. “Bitcoin has been able to maintain a solid position at around $118K after core CPI data was lower than expected, prompting speculation that the Fed will be more likely to cut interest rates in September, potentially leading to a surge of demand for bitcoin,” said Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research. #BTC we’re back at $116K as planned. CPI drops in an hour. IMO we’ll either see a quick liquidity grab below or hold this level and push higher. pic.twitter.com/lSkgGcB2au— Mind Over Market | by Llamito (@LlamitoCharts) July 15, 2025 Last week, US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded over $1 billion in inflows for two straight days. On Friday, 11 spot Bitcoin ETF products reported combined inflows totaling $1.03 billion, following $1.17 billion the previous day. Recently, BlackRock reported earning more revenue from IBIT than from its flagship iShares Core S&P 500 ETF. 95% Approval Chance for Spot Solana, XRP ETFS As reported, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analysts have assigned a 95% chance that the SEC will approve spot ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin this year, raising their previous odds from 90% amid growing optimism for institutional crypto products. They also expect a crypto index ETF tracking multiple assets could gain approval as early as this week, signaling broader access to altcoins for traditional investors. Beyond ETFs, institutional Bitcoin demand is spreading into corporate treasuries. Japan’s Metaplanet recently bought $93 million worth of BTC, becoming the fifth-largest corporate holder with a stack exceeding 16,300 BTC. France’s The Blockchain Group and the UK’s Smarter Web Company also made new BTC treasury allocations this week, purchasing $12.5 million and $24.3 million worth of Bitcoin respectively.

Developed in 2011 as a fork of the Bitcoin network, Litecoin aimed to improve upon Bitcoin's shortcomings. It was the first altcoin, and its goal was to offer a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) currency with faster transaction processing times and lower fees than Bitcoin.

Built with payments in mind, Litecoin outperforms Bitcoin in terms of transaction speed and confirmation time. While Bitcoin can process approximately five transactions per second, Litecoin has a capacity of 56 transactions per second. The network's confirmation time is also significantly shorter, taking approximately two minutes and 20 seconds compared to Bitcoin's, of nearly 10 minutes per block.

Even after over a decade, Litecoin remains committed to providing users with low-cost, private, secure, and borderless payment solutions. Its vision is to enable individuals to send payments anywhere in the world at any time, making it a practical and accessible digital currency for everyday transactions. Litecoin's usage as a payment method has increased over the years, with merchants, including the American Red Cross, Newegg, and Twitch, accepting LTC as payment.

How does Litecoin work

Litecoin was created from the original Bitcoin source code. That said, it has several differences, which make it faster, cheaper, and more accessible. Here are the components that make Litecoin different:

Scrypt hashing

Litecoin was launched with a unique algorithmic architecture called Scrypt. Scrypt uses less processing power than Bitcoin’s SHA-256 algorithm, lowering the entry barriers for miners and promoting network decentralization. Scrypt also protects Litecoin from potential attacks by miners.

SegWit (Segregated Witness)

SegWit was initially proposed for Bitcoin but was first adopted by the Litecoin network. It separates the witness data (digital signature data) from the transaction data, allowing for more transactions to be included in each block and increasing the overall capacity and scalability of the network. The successful implementation of SegWit on Litecoin served as a testbed and paved the way for its subsequent adoption on the Bitcoin network.

MimbleWimble upgrade

Litecoin also launched its highly anticipated MimbleWimble upgrade, which allows for anonymous transactions on the network, similar to other private networks like Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR). MimbleWimble's integration with Litecoin via extension blocks (MWEB) allowed users to conceal transaction information, thereby increasing privacy. The upgrade was released in January 2022 and activated in May.

The MimbleWimble upgrade was first suggested in October 2019 in two Litecoin improvement proposals. Then, in October 2020, the network launched the first MimbleWimble testnet. According to the Litecoin Foundation, the upgrade enhances the network's scalability since the amount of data stored on-chain reduces fungibility.

LTC price and tokenomics

LTC has a capped supply model, with a maximum supply 84 million. This specific cap was chosen so that the last LTC would be mined in 2142. Like BTC, LTC operates on a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, producing new tokens exclusively through mining. Every four years, LTC undergoes a halving to reduce the rewards earned by miners.

LTC has a wide range of use cases. As the native token of the network, LTC is used to pay transaction fees. LTC can also be used outside the network as a medium of exchange, purchasing goods and services or exchanging for other digital assets, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

About the founders

Litecoin was founded in 2011 by Charlie Lee, an MIT graduate and former software engineer at Google. Lee played a key role in the development and launch of Litecoin. In 2013, he joined Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, where he served as the Director of Engineering. In 2017, Lee made the decision to leave Coinbase to focus on the full-time development and advancement of Litecoin.

Lee is also the director of the Litecoin Foundation, a Singapore-based non-profit organization that works towards the growth and adoption of LTC. In December 2017, Lee sold his entire stake in Litecoin, saying it was a conflict of interest for him to talk about the cryptocurrency while influencing it.

Since its inception, the Litecoin team has grown and expanded to include more core developers. This dedicated team works on improving and maintaining the Litecoin network, ensuring its security, scalability, and overall functionality.
