Aliant service will help merchants accept LTC payments

When Litepay ended up being dead rubber a few weeks ago, going on to negatively impact the LTC community, many envisioned chaos for Litecoin. That didn’t happen as, even though LTC/USD tanked heavily, it critically stayed above the $100 mark, providing a pivot for a quick reverse. And it seems to have happened as the coin traded this morning at $132, +8.15% against the US dollar.





By the time the deal to partner Aliant Payment Services came to public notice, LTC had plunged from $180 to hover precariously above the $100 price level. Sentiment changed with the announcement and the coin has slightly recovered to today’s mark. The Aliant service will help merchants accept LTC payments, giving users an option to spend their coins easily.









Litecoin (LTC) is back on track on the market capitalization rankings with a powerful performance buoyed by the general upsurge in the entire crypto market. LTC ranks 5th again after it were briefly overtaken by EOS. Getting back on track isn’t just an occurrence; it’s everything to the Litecoin Foundation and their push to have the coin adopted as the preferred currency for p2p transactions.





It’s been one crazy first half of 2018 for Litecoin, but April 13, 2018, begins what is likely to be the defining moment for Charlie Lee and his vision. Incidentally, today marks six and a half years since Litecoin was launched and quite fittingly, is Lee’s birthday. So, in as much as it is Friday the 13th, the voodoo is pointing to a turning point for LTC.





TenX and LTCpay to add momentum





The Aliant deal has been followed by announcements about TenX and LTCpay. These are not new ventures, but the timing of their release or updates makes good tidings for the fervent community that believes the coin is second only to BTC.





It has also been revealed that Litecoin is working with the TenX team to develop a debit card for use with LTC. The wallet added LTC to its iOS and Android apps, further widening the accessibility and use of the coin.
