# LTC-USD Research Summary (as of 2026-08-22)

## Current Price & Performance

Litecoin is currently trading in a range roughly between $46 and $51, depending on the source and exact timing. One source shows LTC at $46.07 [[16]](https://cryptonews.net/news/analytics/33320957/), while another quotes $51.07 [[17]](https://crypto.news/price/litecoin/). Notably, there is a significant discrepancy with one source mentioning LTC "hovering around $272 per coin" [[20]](https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetwork/posts/bitcoin-btc-and-other-cryptocurrencies-are-moving-higher-thursday-shares-of-cryp/1654277246699631/), but this appears to be either erroneous, dated, or referencing a different context — it is inconsistent with all other recent price data and should be treated with skepticism. LTC remains down approximately 89% from its all-time high of $401 set in May 2021 and has declined roughly 58.6% over the past year, reflecting persistent underperformance relative to Bitcoin [[1]](https://coinstats.app/ai/a/investment-analysis-litecoin).
