Litecoin (LTC) has been in a downtrend recently, hitting the lowest point since February.
Despite this decline, whales continue to accumulate the altcoin. Since mid-May, the performance of LTC has been weak, but the cryptocurrency remains attractive to these large investors.
On-chain data shows that the number of whales, holding between 10,000 to 1,000,000 LTC tokens, has increased by 2% since the beginning of June, reaching 613 addresses.
These whales now own 56% of the total supply of Litecoin in circulation. The accumulation suggests that they view the price drop as an opportunity to buy, expecting an increase in value.
