  • Timo Schlaefer, CEO of #Crypto Facilities, said the decision is a result of having received "strong client demand" for #litecoin contracts. "We believe our #LTC-dollar futures contracts will increase price transparency, liquidity and efficiency in the #cryptocurrency markets," he said.
  • Litecoin creator Charlie Lee commented in the announcement that, by opening up litecoin trading to more institutional #investors, the new product would increase the cryptocurrency's #liquidity and "make it easier for people to get in and out of litecoin."
