BTSE, the multi-currency spot and futures trading platform, has announced the addition of spot trading support for Litecoin (LTC) on its platform starting on July 29th, 2019. Litecoin is the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization; after Bitcoin and Tether, its addition to BTSE’s platform represents the next of a number of upcoming trading options set for platform integration.
BTSE provides frictionless trading between fiat and cryptocurrencies, including EUR, USD, GBP, RMB, JPY, SGD, HKD, and MYR. LTC trading pairs will be seamlessly integrated to support all of the platform’s fiat and cryptocurrency trading pairs.
Spot Trading on a Single Order Book
BTSE is the only exchange that offers a single order book for spot trading. This allows for the simple aggregation of liquidity, giving BTSE traders a tighter range for a superior trading experience. In the past, a number of exchanges suffered flash crashes as a result of low liquidity trading pairs being unable to field unanticipated sell orders. By aggregating the order book, traders benefit from the stability of the entire BTSE platform’s liquidity versus single pairs.
Upon sign-up, BTSE users are able to pick their spot trading currency of choice by depositing fiat or cryptocurrencies into their accounts. Traders will further enjoy 50% off of trading fees until December 31st of 2019.
About Litecoin
Litecoin is an open-source decentralized cryptocurrency aimed at providing high-volume global payment rails. Forked from Bitcoin’s codebase in 2011, Litecoin’s 2.5-minute block confirmations, Scrypt Memory Hard PoW, and an 84 million coin supply often lead to it being described as a “silver to Bitcoins gold”, or alternatively as “a Bitcoin testnet”. The project was catalyzed by Charlie Lee and has recently begun experimenting with Mimblewimble sidechains. It was the first major cryptocurrency to implement SegWit in mid-2017.
