On November 2, the rate of LTC rose by 7% in 24 hours. This happened after payments operator MoneyGram partnered with the Coinme exchange on November 1 to launch a service to buy, store and sell BTC, ETH and LTC. Back then Charlie Lee said that the asset “is still alive to answer the haters.”

Earlier, South Korean crypto exchanges Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax delisted LTC due to the network’s upgrade MWEB, which increased transaction privacy, causing the asset to no longer comply with regulatory rules such as know your customer and anti-money laundering (KYC and AML). That same month, Binance announced that it would not support LTC deposits and withdrawals using MWEB.
