Bullish sentiment around Litecoin has been on the rise as the network is drawing closer to its much-anticipated halving event. This positive sentiment is reflected in the number of new daily addresses on the blockchain, which has seen a significant rise over the last week.<\/p>\n
In a Twitter post, on-chain data aggregator IntoTheBlock revealed that the number of new addresses on the Litecoin network has been on the rise. Notably, the majority of the growth has been recorded in the last week alone when the total new addresses jumped a whopping 55%.<\/p>\n

This meteoric rise in new addresses saw Litecoin\u2019s total addresses cross the 200 million level. This new milestone meant that the total number of LTC addresses has now surpassed that of Ethereum\u2019s 180 million. However, it is still a long way from its biggest rival Bitcoin, which currently boasts over 1 billion total addresses.<\/p>\n

The Litecoin halving is an event that sees the block reward for miners on the network cut down in half. It works just like Bitcoin in this way as it happens every four years, and creates an environment of scarcity for the cryptocurrency. This is why the halving can be a bullish event for the digital asset.<\/p>\n
LTC\u2019s next halving is taking place approximately 44 days from now at a block height of 2,520,000. This halving reward will cut block rewards down from 12.5 LTC to 6.25 LTC, and a block is produced on Litecoin approximately every two-and-a-half minutes.<\/p>\n
