As Litecoin LTC Looks To Score A Century, Here's How Much You'd Have If You Invested $100 Today And It Touched An All-Time High Again

Litecoin (LTC) is a fork of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) that came into existence in 2011. The cryptocurrency was created by former Google engineer Charlie Lee as an adaption of the apex coin's source code.

In 2014, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), the bellwether meme coin, implemented Auxiliary proof-of-work following Lee's suggestion. This has allowed the two coins to be merge mined. In a way, Dogecoin is a relative of Litecoin.

The Investment: At the time of publishing LTC traded 3.4% higher at $99.50 as it hovered around the key $100 mark. The cryptocurrency has shot up 9.9% over the span of the last seven days.

Litecoin touched an all-time high of $412.96 on May 10, 2021. Should an investor be persuaded by the recent spike in LTC price to invest $100 in the coin, here's how much they'd have if the price returns to those highs.
