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.

莱特币 (LTC) 本周成为人们关注的焦点，加密支付处理器 Bitpay 的数据显示，莱特币相对于比特币 (BTC)、以太坊 (ETH) 和狗狗币 (DOGE) 等顶级竞争对手占据主导地位。 Bitpay 数据显示，莱特币在总交易笔数中占据主导地位，占 41.76%，这一数字创下了其历史最高 (ATH) 分数。

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.

加密货币的主要用例之一是它们作为支付替代方案的作用。 Bitpay 通过加入商家或企业来实现这一点，让加密货币持有者更容易支付商品和服务费用。尽管比特币很受欢迎并在市场上占据主导地位，但根据 Bitpay 的衡量，它仅占总交易量的 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%.

以太坊以其强大的去中心化金融 (DeFi) 生态系统而闻名，占据了 9.05% 的主导地位，而开创性的 meme 币协议狗狗币 (DOGE) 的主导地位为 6.8%。其他数字货币包括占据主导地位的 Polygon (MATIC)、占据主导地位的 5.06%、占据主导地位的比特币现金 (BCH) 和占据最低地位的 USDC，占据 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.

虽然莱特币一段时间以来一直处于劣势，随着新协议占据中心地位，其排名进一步下滑，但该协议认为这种支付主导地位是一个重要的里程碑，可能有助于重新将注意力集中在它所提供的服务上。

Litecoin price outlook

莱特币价格展望

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.

莱特币是先驱硬币之一，长期以来一直是排名靠前的数字货币之一。然而，由于未能像业内同行那样进行创新，它已经失去了光彩。

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%.

截至撰写本文时，莱特币的交易价格为 87.75 美元，在过去 24 小时内上涨了 2.07%。自今年年初以来，莱特币未能利用比特币推动的反弹。今年迄今（YTD）期间，莱特币仅飙升了 19.71%，而比特币则上涨了 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.

莱特币可能会利用人们对 LTC 作为支付代币的兴趣及其不断增长的交易数量，希望在 2023 年 8 月上次减半事件后重振其增长势头。
