Litecoin Halving Set to Occur on or Around Aug. 3, 2023
Litecoin, the 14th-largest cryptocurrency today, er preparing to experience a block reward halving in 202 dage. It will be the first major proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrency to have a reward halving, besides the upcoming reduction scheduled to happen in 158 days for Dash. Imidlertid, Dash’s reduction is different than a halving as the reward will be reduced from 2.763 Dash to 2.566 Dash. Like Bitcoin, Litecoin’s block halving cuts the reward in half (af den digitale valutaøkonomi med 50%) and it will drop from 12.5 LTC til 6.25 LTC.
While litecoin (LTC) holds the 14th-largest market capitalization today, it used to be a top-ten cryptocurrency contender in the early days of the crypto market. LTC’s network has many differences from Bitcoin (BTC) as there are more coins in circulation — currently more than 72 million LTC in circulation. Imidlertid, LTC is nearing its maximum supply of 84 million. Bitcoin’s block time is usually around 10 minutes per block, men LTC blocks are much faster at 2.5 minutes per block.

Two-week market statistics show that litecoin (LTC) has gained 29% mod U.S.A. dollar, men LTC er nede 79% from the cryptocurrency’s all-time high. LTC reached an all-time high of around $410 per unit over a year ago on May 10, 2021. In addition to the difference in supply between LTC and Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin’s proof-of-work algorithm, Scrypt, is different from SHA-256. The upcoming LTC halving will be Litecoin’s third block reward reduction since its inception.
LTC experienced its first halving on Aug. 25, 2015, and this halving reduced the block reward for miners from 50 LTC til 25 LTC. LTC block halvings occur every 840,000 blocks, or four years. The second Litecoin block reward halving occurred on Aug. 5, 2019. This particular halving reduced the block reward for miners from 25 LTC til 12.5 LTC, the current reward level for Litecoin miners today.
In addition to Dash and Litecoin, the next three blockchains that will see block reward halvings are Bitcoin Cash (BCH) i 450 dage, Bitcoin SV (BSV) i 455 dage, and Bitcoin (BTC) i 474 dage. Ethereum Classic is expected to see a block reduction similar to Dash’s in 568 dage. And, Zcash (ZEC) will see a halving in 677 dage. The ZEC block reward halving will see the subsidy drop from 3.125 ZEC to 1.5625 after the halving occurs on or around Nov. 20, 2024.
