Reasons Behind Litecoin’s Price Increase: Approaching Halving, On-Chain Transactions, and Whale Activity

On-chain data agency Santiment has identified three reasons for the recent increase in Litecoin's price, including the approaching halving event in August. Since May 25, Litecoin has risen by almost 14% and currently trades at $94.57. The first reason for the growth is the upcoming halving event, which will cut miners' rewards per block in half. Additionally, there has been a two-year high in the volume of on-chain transactions and the highest whale activity since January. BitPay has also announced that Litecoin has become the second most popular cryptocurrency transacted through its platform and is offering a giveaway of $250 worth of LTC to celebrate.

Binance Founder Faces Potential Three-Year Prison Sentence and $50 Million Fine for Money Laundering and Sanctions Violations

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao has been recommended a three-year prison sentence by federal prosecutors for violating federal money laundering laws and sanctions. The Department of Justice argued that this sentence would hold him accountable for his intentional criminal conduct and send a message to the world. Zhao made a "business decision" to break the law to attract users, build his company, and line his pockets, according to prosecutors. Along with the prison sentence, DOJ lawyers also requested that Zhao pay the $50 million fine he agreed to as part of a plea deal. Zhao, who is a citizen of the UAE and Canada, has been released on a $175 million bond but must remain in the U.S. until his sentencing on April 30.
