Scenarios
Bear — LTC continues losing narrative share to Bitcoin (spot ETFs dominate institutional flows), MWEB delistings persist in some jurisdictions, halving cycle already priced in.
Base — Halving cycle produces post-halving 2028 upside; LTC retains payments-and-store-of-value niche; merge-mining with Dogecoin continues securing the network.
Bull — Spot LTC ETF approved (filings exist); payment integrations accelerate; broader crypto bull cycle lifts hard-supply assets.
What matters most
- Halving cycle timing (next: ~Aug 2027)
- MWEB regulatory posture — resolution of Asia-jurisdiction concerns
- Payment integrations — BitPay, GoCoin, Lightning support
- Spot LTC ETF — filings pending; approval would drive institutional demand
