About the litecoin price
Litecoin (LTC), launched in 2011, is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies. It is based on Bitcoin's code with faster blocks and a maximum supply of 84 million coins. The live price is published only when two independent feeds agree (TradingView's real-time exchange price, Yahoo Finance and CNBC's Coin Metrics reference rate). Crypto trades around the clock, so the daily change and the history use the close at midnight UTC.
