Maybe because of the recent Litecoin Segwit<\/strong> support<\/a>, this digital currency price set a new high<\/strong> yesterday, reaching a value of $11.42, its highest price since May 2014.<\/p>\n

We cannot define it a cryptocurrency pump, but the market seems to answer to the technical changes in the network.<\/p>\n

This price growth, in fact, could be explained thanks to the almost reached the 75% support<\/strong> level needed in order to activatate the Litecoin Segwit (Segregated Witness<\/a>), or a scaling solution that will improve blocks capacity.<\/p>\n

Right now, in fact,\u00a0just over 70% of miners were giving their support for the Litecoin Segwit.<\/p>\n

Even if at press time, Litecoin<\/a> price declined of about 67%, litecoin traded as high as $11.32 today\u00a0up nearly 40% in one day, according to CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n

On March 30th, litecoin price increased of about 70% and, always according to Coinmarketcap data<\/span>, its 24-hour volume passed $250m today.<\/p>\n

Litecoin SegWit support<\/h2>\n

These important new Litecoin highs have coincided with the almost reached support level needed for activating the Litecoin SegWit.<\/p>\n

First designed to be used on the Bitcoin blockchain, SegWit would increase the block capacity<\/strong> by modifying how transaction data is stored by the blockchain itself.<\/p>\n

Once reached, the support level will have to remain at or above the 75% threshold level for 8,064 blocks (almost two weeks) before SegWit can officially be activated.<\/p>\n

The litecoin price reached $50 in late 2013, but it has traded below $20 since early 2014.<\/p>\n
