The Litecoin community is preparing for the third halving event in three months. Scheduled to take place on August 02, the third Litecoin’s halving will see the miners rewarded with 6.25 coins per every successful block. The predictable coins supply in Litecoin is similar to the Bitcoin network, which in turn has the same effects on the underlying value. Notably, Bitcoin halvings have in the past triggered major crypto rallies.

 Similarly, the past two Litecoin halvings have culminated in a notable price increase in subsequent months.

Lee’s Litecoin Price Targets 

According to Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin and ex-director of Engineering at Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN), LTC price will edge higher against Bitcoin by a margin of 10 percent in the next bull run. 

“I can see an upside target of 10% (0.025 LTC/BTC). In the next bull market, 5% (0.0125) shouldn’t be too hard to achieve. I honestly don’t see it going much below 1% (0.0025) on the downside. The next halving will be in ~92 days. This is going to be fun,” Lee noted.

The bullish sentiment from Lee is backed by the strong fundamental aspects of Litecoin including 11.5 years of history with zero downtime. As a result, Lee noted that Litecoin has a ton of potential as it can handle a higher throughput by design without compromising the security aspects.

Litecoin is the third largest Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain after the Bitcoin network and Dogecoin (DOGE). Trading around $87.94, a 10 percent spike against Bitcoin would reciprocate to LTC retesting its ATH in United States dollars. Having consolidated in the same range since the end of the 2017 crypto bull market, a breakout above the ATH could lead to price discovery for the 13th largest digital asset by market capitalization.
