In the past week, Litecoin (available on Coinbase) has surged nearly 60% in its price. The start of its surge was from LitePay Inc’s announcement of a new payment platform made specifically for Litecoin (available on Coinbase). The tweet reads, “We started because the people asked BitPay to accept LTC. They wouldn’t so we took the challenge.” The company will begin signups for its platform on February 26th, as it is currently in its beta testing stages.
