Santiment on-chain data aggregator has reported that Litecoin has made great progress regarding the daily amount of transferred LTC as whales seem to have increased their activity.
Daily LTC transaction volume soars
As per a recent Santiment tweet, Litecoin has seen a massive rise in the daily whale transaction volume.
The amount of LTC shoveled by whales has surpassed $100,000—that is 4,458 transactions within one day—April 4, according to the chart shared by the company's analytical team.
The tweet stresses that such an upsurge in daily transaction volume indicates a mid-term direction shift.
LTC MimbeWimble set to go live
Earlier this year, the Litecoin Foundation announced that its highly anticipated upgrade MimbleWimble went live as a "release candidate."
If it gets sufficient support from Litecoin nodes, the upgrade will be added to Litecoin's codebase in Litecoin Core 0.21.2 software.
