Bucking the broader market trend, Litecoin [LTC] racked up gains of over 15% in the last seven days, data from CoinMarketCap revealed. Bolstered by the rally, LTC stormed into the list of top 10 gainers in the crypto market in the last week. LTC has been on a tear ever since users bogged down by rising transaction fees on the Bitcoin [BTC] network, chose to shift towards less expensive alternatives. The other driving force behind Litecoin’s increasing network traffic was the introduction of LTC-20 token standard.
