莱特币 (LTC) 可能成为 2025 年第一个突破性的加密货币

现在是时候开始寻找一种被忽视或被低估、有可能在 2025 年出现突破性反弹的加密货币了。

One cryptocurrency that could be poised for a breakout rally in 2025 is Litecoin (LTC 1.38%). Here's why.

莱特币（LTC 1.38%）是一种有望在 2025 年实现突破性反弹的加密货币。原因如下。

Litecoin is a "lite" version of Bitcoin (BTC 0.37%), launched back in 2011 and using much of the same computer source code. As a result, Litecoin shares many of the same characteristics as Bitcoin.

莱特币是比特币的“精简版”（BTC 0.37%），于 2011 年推出，并使用大部分相同的计算机源代码。因此，莱特币与比特币具有许多相同的特征。

For example, it is mined just like Bitcoin, has a halving event every four years just like Bitcoin, and has a relatively small circulating coin supply, giving it nearly the same scarcity as Bitcoin. Litecoin's creators envisioned it as a faster, cheaper, and more efficient version of Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is "digital gold," then Litecoin is "digital silver." While Litecoin has lost some of its luster over the past decade, it remains one of the 25 largest cryptocurrencies in the world, with a nearly $8 billion market cap.

例如，它的开采方式与比特币类似，与比特币一样每四年发生一次减半事件，并且流通币供应量相对较小，使其具有与比特币几乎相同的稀缺性。莱特币的创建者将其设想为更快、更便宜、更高效的比特币版本。如果比特币是“数字黄金”，那么莱特币就是“数字白银”。尽管莱特币在过去十年中失去了一些光彩，但它仍然是世界上 25 种最大的加密货币之一，市值近 80 亿美元。

All these characteristics of Litecoin are especially important now as we head into 2025. That's because Litecoin is typically viewed as considerably less risky than other, more speculative cryptocurrencies. Just like Bitcoin, Litecoin is considered a commodity and not a security. Theoretically, that makes it much easier for regulators to approve new products linked to Litecoin.

当我们进入 2025 年时，莱特币的所有这些特征尤其重要。这是因为莱特币通常被认为比其他更具投机性的加密货币风险要低得多。就像比特币一样，莱特币被视为一种商品，而不是一种证券。从理论上讲，这使得监管机构更容易批准与莱特币相关的新产品。

In fact, the growing consensus now is that Litecoin will be the next cryptocurrency to get a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). As Bloomberg highlighted earlier this month, several other top cryptocurrencies often mentioned as potential spot ETF candidates — such as XRP and Solana — may still carry too much regulatory risk. In contrast, Litecoin is basically free and clear of any regulatory concerns and has a much clearer path to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approval.

事实上，现在越来越多的共识是莱特币将成为下一个获得现货交易所交易基金（ETF）的加密货币。正如彭博社本月早些时候强调的那样，其他几种经常被认为是潜在现货 ETF 候选者的顶级加密货币（例如 XRP 和 Solana）可能仍然面临太多监管风险。相比之下，莱特币基本上不受任何监管问题的影响，并且有更清晰的获得证券交易委员会（SEC）批准的途径。

Back in October, crypto investment firm Canary Capital filed with the SEC for a spot Litecoin ETF, and the price of Litecoin spiked by 10%. Given all the pro-crypto optimism surrounding the Trump administration, we could potentially see a spot Litecoin ETF approval by mid-2025, if not sooner.

早在 10 月份，加密货币投资公司 Canary Capital 就向 SEC 申请了现货莱特币 ETF，莱特币的价格飙升了 10%。鉴于特朗普政府对加密货币的乐观态度，我们有可能在 2025 年中期（甚至更早）看到现货莱特币 ETF 获得批准。
