Litecoin's official X account renewed its long-running dispute with XRP after posting a reaction clip that included a slur the article calls ableist, aimed at the XRP token. The post came on November 5, and an XRP supporter answered by attaching a three-year CoinMarketCap chart comparing the two assets, which showed XRP up while LTC sat beneath its starting level. Commenters also pointed out that Zcash has beaten Litecoin this year, though both aim at digital payments. XRP has more than doubled in price since late 2024, stays inside the top five cryptocurrencies, and has held a top-10 spot every year since 2014. Litecoin's price is down more than 85% from its May 2021 high of $410.
Why it matters: The exchange shows how price history is now being used in public rivalries between major tokens, with holders citing performance data rather than jokes.
