Litecoin (LTC) is the second generation cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, founded by Charlie Lee in 2011. As a 'digital cash', LTC aims to provide faster transaction confirmation times and lower transaction fees, thus having extensive potential applications in the payment and transfer field. The total supply of LTC is 84 million, larger than Bitcoin's 21 million supply.

The ETF of LTC is attractive to investors because it can attract investors who are overly focused on Bitcoin and provide a relatively cheaper alternative. The LTC network is based on the Scrypt algorithm, which has lower mining difficulty compared to Bitcoin's SHA-256 algorithm, making its network more efficient in some cases.

However, LTC also faces significant challenges. Despite continuous technological updates, its market share has gradually declined as the dominant position of mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum continues to solidify, resulting in a decrease in investor attention. In addition, as transaction fees and speed of Bitcoin and other digital currencies continue to improve, LTC's advantages are gradually diminishing. Therefore, LTC ETF may face long-term lack of growth momentum.

From a risk perspective, LTC is still affected by factors such as market volatility and regulatory uncertainty. Therefore, investors should carefully evaluate its investment value, especially when considering the inclusion of LTC in ETFs, they need to understand the intensity of market competition and the potential of technological innovation for its future development.
