Prior to the recent spike, Litecoin network recorded a 2019 high in transaction on 22nd June with 47,962 Trx executed. Per the data made available by bitinfocharts and Litecoin.com, a new yearly high of 48,582 transactions was recorded on 19th September 2019. The major reason behind the significant increase is yet to be specifically ascertained.
Initially, the transactions appeared to be falsified while giving a close look to Blockchair’s filters. There are some blocks on the Litecoin network, which single-handedly handled 100s of outputs with only one input.
Also, the tons of transactions performed on the Litecoin network over the past few days attest to the originality of the data rather than the usual manipulation.
However, the fact that each output is too high at >0.01 LTC, making them inconsistent. It can then be simply deduced that the nature of the transactions is not like the usual dusk attack.
According to the report, the wallet M893qmrU3PSwTrDVU7Cn3K4zxUWPKBmZkr has not been without suspicion due to lots of spammy transactions it has since sent to Litecoin network. These accrued to over 100 transactions per day on the single address.
The wallet was monitored since April 2019, and findings showed that it has carried out over 167,000 transactions so far. Howbeit, all the transactions that were conducted on the address are typically allowed since it was initiated by the same holder who was consistently splitting and consolidating funds.
The above citations could have had hands in the latest yearly high transactions recorded on Litecoin network.
Nevertheless, in order to have comprehensible and detailed findings as to what really constituted the spike, more better and suitable tools are needed. All these have not actually changed the daily value transferred, as it keeps revolving around $350 million.
