| Grade | Verdict | Score | Rank | Price | Market cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B | Sound | Yellow | 60 / 100 | #9 of 200 | $45.64 | $3.5B |

Data as of Jul 30, 2026 — scores are re-evaluated daily and this snapshot refreshes on each site publish. The live app always shows current data.
Every CryptoGrade rating comes from the same published, rules-based framework: six weighted dimensions produce a 0–100 composite score, hard disqualifying gates can force exclusion regardless of score, and fixed thresholds map the composite to a grade. Read the full methodology on the Framework page.
The full Litecoin verdict — the investment thesis, disqualifier gate checks, per-dimension scores with provenance, on-chain usage and developer-activity signals, and the complete score history — is free with a sign-in and identical for everyone.
CryptoGrade publishes transparent, rules-based crypto ratings — identical for every visitor. Educational research only; not financial advice. Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose your entire investment.
