Litecoin (LTC) is in the spotlight this week as data from crypto payments processor Bitpay uncovered its dominance over its top rivals, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Dogecoin (DOGE), among others. The Bitpay data shows that Litecoin dominates by 41.76% per its total transaction count, a figure that marks its all-time high (ATH) score.

萊特幣(LTC) 本周成為人們關注的焦點，加密支付處理器Bitpay 的數據顯示，萊特幣相對於比特幣(BTC)、以太坊(ETH) 和狗狗幣(DOGE) 等頂級競爭對手佔據主導地位。 Bitpay 數據顯示，萊特幣在總交易筆數中佔據主導地位，佔 41.76%，這一數字創下了其歷史最高 (ATH) 分數。

One of the primary use cases of cryptocurrencies is their role as payment alternatives. Bitpay makes this possible by onboarding merchants or businesses, giving crypto holders easier access to pay for goods and services. Despite the popularity and general market dominance of Bitcoin, it takes only about 24.36% of the total transaction count, as measured by Bitpay.

加密貨幣的主要用例之一是它們作為支付替代方案的作用。 Bitpay 透過加入商家或企業來實現這一點，讓加密貨幣持有者更容易支付商品和服務費用。儘管比特幣很受歡迎並在市場上佔據主導地位，但根據 Bitpay 的衡量，它僅佔總交易量的 24.36% 左右。

Ethereum, known for its robust decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, recorded 9.05% dominance, while pioneering meme coin protocol Dogecoin (DOGE) saw its dominance pegged at 6.8%. Other digital currencies profiled include Polygon (MATIC) with 5.06% dominance, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) with 5.59% and USDC with the lowest cut at 3.69%.

以太坊以其強大的去中心化金融 (DeFi) 生態系統而聞名，佔據了 9.05% 的主導地位，而開創性的 meme 幣協議狗狗幣 (DOGE) 的主導地位為 6.8%。其他數位貨幣包括佔據主導地位的 Polygon (MATIC)、佔據主導地位的 5.06%、佔據主導地位的比特幣現金 (BCH) 和占最低地位的 USDC，佔 5.59% 和 3.69%。

While Litecoin has been an underdog for some time with its ranking further sliding downward as newer protocols take centerstage, the protocol considers this payment dominance a major milestone that might help refocus attention on what it has to offer.

雖然萊特幣一段時間以來一直處於劣勢，隨著新協議佔據中心地位，其排名進一步下滑，但該協議認為這種支付主導地位是一個重要的里程碑，可能有助於重新將注意力集中在它所提供的服務上。

Litecoin price outlook

萊特幣價格展望

Litecoin is one of the pioneering coins and has been one of the top-ranked digital currencies for a long time. However, it has lost its luster since failing to innovate as well as its peers in the industry.

萊特幣是先驅硬幣之一，長期以來一直是排名靠前的數位貨幣之一。然而，由於未能像業內同行那樣進行創新，它已經失去了光彩。

At the time of writing, Litecoin is changing hands for $87.75, up by 2.07% in the past 24 hours. Litecoin has failed to capitalize on the Bitcoin-fueled rally since the start of this year. In the year-to-date (YTD) period, Litecoin has only managed to soar 19.71% compared to Bitcoin’s 58%.

截至撰寫本文時，萊特幣的交易價格為 87.75 美元，在過去 24 小時內上漲了 2.07%。自今年年初以來，萊特幣未能利用比特幣推動的反彈。今年迄今（YTD）期間，萊特幣僅飆升了 19.71%，而比特幣則上漲了 58%。

Litecoin might capitalize on the renewed interest in LTC as a payment coin and its growing transaction count in hopes of reviving its growth momentum following its last halving event in August 2023.

萊特幣可能會利用人們對 LTC 作為支付代幣的興趣及其不斷增長的交易數量，希望在 2023 年 8 月上次減半事件後重振其增長勢頭。
