In a recent tweet, Litecoin highlighted its high processing rates, emphasizing that the threat of double-spending is significantly reduced on its network.

This makes it possible for merchants and dealers to process transactions much faster than on other blockchains, offering a major advantage for businesses that rely on quick, secure payments.

One of Litecoin’s standout features is its incredibly low transaction fees, averaging less than $0.01 per transaction. This makes $LTC not only a fast but also a highly cost-effective option for users looking to move large amounts of money with minimal fees.
