2025 Litecoin（LTC）礦工的趨勢和機會

2024年，LTC的總網絡哈希拉特（Hashrate）飆升了120％，加劇了採礦競爭。

The year 2024 proved to be fruitful for LTC miners. With LTC and DOGE showing substantial price increases, and new coins for merged mining, such as BELLS, JKC, LKY, and PEP being introduced, providing additional avenues for profit, LTC miners faced both opportunities and challenges as 2025 dawned.

對於LTC礦工來說，2024年被證明是富有成效的。隨著LTC和Doge的出價大幅上漲，並引入了合併採礦的新硬幣，例如Bells，JKC，LKY和PEP。

LTC Hashrate Growth and Increased Competition

LTC哈希酸鹽增長和競爭增加

In 2024, LTC's total network hashrate surged by 120%, intensifying mining competition. Major miner manufacturers, like Bitmain and Phonar, introduced new models like the AntMiner LTC5 and the Elphapex L5, boasting optimized hashrate and power consumption, improving efficiency and rendering older rigs less competitive.

2024年，LTC的總網絡哈希拉特（Hashrate）飆升了120％，加劇了採礦競爭。 Bitmain和Phonar等主要礦工製造商推出了Antminer LTC5和Elphapex L5等新型號，具有優化的哈希酯和功耗，提高了效率，並使較舊的鑽機的競爭力較低。

New mining machines like VolcMiner's V8A, Elphapex's L5, and Antminer's LTC5 have a power consumption per unit of less than 300W/G, whereas older rigs like Avalon's A1242C and Bitmain's S19j have higher electricity costs at current hashrates, shrinking their profit margins.

諸如Volcminer的V8A，Elphapex的L5和Antminer的LTC5之類的新採礦機的每單位少於300W/g的功率消耗，而Avalon的A1242C和Bitmain的S19J等較舊的鑽機在當前的物物架上以更高的電力成本縮小了其利潤元素，從而使他們的電力更高。

Furthermore, with DOGE prices showing promise and the improvements in BTC mining machines reaching a bottleneck, more miner manufacturers are shifting their focus to LTC mining machines.

此外，由於Doge價格顯示出希望的前景，並且BTC採礦機的改善達到了瓶頸，越來越多的礦工製造商正在將重點轉移到LTC礦業機上。

Hence, in 2025, it's crucial for LTC miners to be aware of the latest mining rigs and network hashrate developments to adjust their strategies accordingly, invest early in new mining machines, and identify locations with cheaper electricity rates to optimize operational costs and stay ahead in the competitive landscape.

因此，在2025年，LTC礦工要意識到最新的採礦鑽機和網絡哈希底層開發項目，以相應地調整其策略，早期在新的採礦機上進行投資，並確定具有更便宜的電力率以優化運營成本並在競爭性景觀中保持領先地位的地點。

Potential Impact of LTC and DOGE Spot ETFs

LTC和Doge斑點ETF的潛在影響

Following the SEC's approval of BTC and ETH spot ETFs in 2024, there's anticipation for more crypto asset spot ETFs in 2025, especially with the Trump administration in place.

在SEC在2024年獲得BTC和ETH現場ETF的批准之後，人們期望在2025年有更多的加密資產資產ETF，尤其是在特朗普政府的情況下。

Following the resignation of Gary Gensler, the former SEC chairman known for his anti-crypto stance, and the formation of a new crypto task force at the SEC, the administration is expected to be more flexible and inclusive with its regulatory approach.

加里·貢斯勒（Gary Gensler）辭職後，這位前美國證券交易委員會（SEC）主席以其反克里普托（Crypto）的立場而聞名，並在SEC中成立了新的加密特遣部隊，預計政府將通過其監管方法更加靈活和包容。

Since Trump's election, several companies have filed spot ETF applications. Among them are Nasdaq's Canary LTC ETF 19B-4 filing and the NYSE filing for the Grayscale LTC ETF to convert its LTC trust into a spot ETF.

自從特朗普當選以來，幾家公司已提交了ETF申請。其中包括NASDAQ的Canary LTC ETF 19B-4備案和紐約證券交易所申請，以將其LTC Trust轉換為現場ETF。

Moreover, Coinshare and Bitwise have applied for DOGE ETFs, all pending regulatory approval.

此外，Coinshare和Bitwise已申請了Doge ETF，所有尚未獲得監管批准。

If LTC and DOGE spot ETFs are approved, they could infuse the market with more funds and liquidity, driving coin prices upward, much like the BTC spot ETF. However, as seen with the muted market response to the ETH spot ETF, the impact may be limited.

如果LTC和Doge現貨ETF獲得批准，他們可以為市場注入更多的資金和流動性，使硬幣價格上漲，就像BTC Spot ETF一樣。但是，正如市場對ETH斑點ETF的靜音反應所見，影響可能受到限制。

LTC miners should monitor these developments closely to adjust their investment strategies.

LTC礦工應密切監視這些發展以調整其投資策略。

Sustainability of Merged Mining Profits

合併採礦利潤的可持續性

In 2024, the crypto market saw a resurgence of Meme coin popularity, extending into mining and leading to the revival of Meme coins. Many previously forgotten Meme coins were rediscovered and became part of LTC's merged mining program, much like Dogecoin.

2024年，加密貨幣市場的恢復了模因硬幣的流行，擴展到採礦並導致了模因硬幣的複興。許多以前被遺忘的模因硬幣被重新發現，並成為LTC合併採礦計劃的一部分，就像Dogecoin一樣。

In 2025, miners should keep an eye on whether more coins will join LTC's merged mining, especially with the DEFI and Web3 sectors heating up, potentially leading to more coins integrating into LTC merged mining. However, the long-term profitability of these coins remains questionable.

在2025年，礦工應密切關注更多硬幣是否會加入LTC合併的採礦，尤其是在Defi和Web3部門供暖的情況下，有可能導致更多的硬幣整合到LTC合併的採礦中。但是，這些硬幣的長期盈利能力仍然值得懷疑。

For instance, coins like BELLS, JKC, PEP, and LKY saw price declines after joining merged mining. In addition to the market downturn, miners' selling pressure also contributed to these price stagnation.

例如，加入合併採礦後，貝爾，JKC，PEP和LKY等硬幣的價格下跌。除了市場低迷之外，礦工的銷售壓力也導致了這些價格停滯。

Given the popularity and volatility of Memecoins, LTC miners should be vigilant in tracking the price movements of merged mining coins, adjusting their strategies, and using tools like ViaBTC's auto-convert tool to quickly secure early profits or make long-term investment decisions based on market trends.

鑑於Memecoins的流行和波動性，LTC礦工應保持警惕，以跟踪合併採礦硬幣的價格變動，調整其策略，並使用ViaBTC的自動轉換工具之類的工具來快速獲得早期利潤或基於市場趨勢做出長期投資決策。

In 2025, DOGE mining profits will continue to be a major income source for LTC miners. With DOGE not having a halving mechanism, LTC miners should focus on DOGE price fluctuations and improving mining cost efficiency.

2025年，Doge採礦利潤將繼續成為LTC礦工的主要收入來源。 Doge沒有減半機制，LTC礦工應專注於Doge的價格波動並提高采礦成本效率。

Finally, developments in spot ETFs and advancements in mining machine performance will be key areas of interest, as will the price trends of other merged mining coins and halving schedules to ensure timely strategy adjustments and secure additional profits.

最後，現場ETF的發展以及採礦機績效的進步將是關鍵的關鍵領域，其他合併的採礦硬幣的價格趨勢也將是確保及時的策略調整併確保額外利潤的價格趨勢。
