Days without a quotation are not interpolated: the series keeps only observations that were actually received.
Compare several periods before a trip, an international transfer or a foreign-currency invoice. The average, minimum and maximum provide a quick reference, while the table enables a date-by-date check.

The LTC/USD exchange rate represents the value of one Litecoin (LTC) in terms of the US dollar (USD). As a cryptocurrency pair, it is traded on digital asset exchanges and reflects the market price of Litecoin relative to the world's primary reserve currency. An appreciation of LTC against USD means that one Litecoin can purchase more dollars, indicating increased demand for Litecoin or relative strength in the crypto market.
Structural drivers for LTC/USD include the decentralized nature of Litecoin, which operates on its own blockchain with no central monetary authority, contrasting with the US dollar managed by the Federal Reserve. Litecoin's supply is capped at 84 million coins, creating scarcity, while the Fed's monetary policy influences USD supply through interest rates and quantitative easing. Factors such as network adoption, transaction volume, mining difficulty, and technological upgrades affect Litecoin's value, while USD is influenced by US economic indicators, inflation, and global risk sentiment. Capital flows between crypto and traditional markets, regulatory developments, and macroeconomic trends also play key roles.
Over the past several years, LTC/USD has experienced significant volatility, with price surges during crypto bull markets and corrections during bear phases. The pair reached all-time highs in 2017 and again in 2021, followed by prolonged downturns. Without specific recent data, the general pattern reflects the cyclical nature of cryptocurrency markets, driven by investor sentiment, technological milestones, and macroeconomic factors. Traders should monitor market conditions and use appropriate risk management.
