Friday evening saw Litecoin (LTC) become the world’s 4th most valuable cryptocurrency. It was possible only after Litecoin’s market capitalisation drove above $2 billion mark, following large speculative inflows from China and Korea.

This Litecoin frenzy couldn’t keep the American and European investors away. Poloniex, America’s most popular cryptocurrency exchange saw a sudden surge of speculative capital drove Litecoin’s exchange rate against Bitcoin to a 30-day high of 0.01953.
