Cryptocurrency expert BigShortRare has stated that the surge in Litecoin prices to between $1,200 and $2,000 is not fantasy but market mathematics. This came after explaining in detail how the altcoin would achieve this target price based on market capitalization and circulating supply.
Why might Litecoin prices rise to $2,000?
In Post XBigShortRare noted that LTC has approximately 76.78 million coins in circulation. Therefore, a Litecoin price of $1,200 will give the altcoin a market capitalization of around $90 billion, while at $2,000 for LTC altcoin market cap is approximately USD 150 million. The expert noted that these numbers seem gigantic until they are put into context.
BigShortRare referred to the fact that Bitcoin’s market capitalization has already exceeded $2 trillion in the past, while Ethereum traded market capitalization exceeding $500 billion. He further stated that in the previous cycle, capital was repeatedly concentrated in a few gigantic, liquid and battle-tested assets.
Therefore, an raise in Litecoin’s price to a market capitalization of $90 billion to $150 billion would still be a fraction of Bitcoin’s market capitalization and within the historical concentration ranges of altcoins during end-of-cycle rotations. BigShortRare also mentioned that what supports this valuation range is not illusion, but structure.
He explained that Litecoin is fully integrated with exchanges, wallets, payment processors and trading rails. The expert added that the altcoin has a fixed supply, no VC overhang, no issuance surprises and no dependence on speculative incentives. It is also said that LTC functions as a clearing and payment network, not a promise.
“LTC to OG”
BigShortRare also noted that LTC is OG crypto projectwhich is another reason for his confidence that the price of Litecoin can go up to $2,000. He argued that as markets shift from experimentation to reliability, capital is not distributed evenly but rather compresses into assets that already operate at scale.
The expert noted that the LTC price of $1,200 to $2,000 does not require replacement Bitcoin or Ethereum. Instead, it only requires that the market value Litecoin as a main monetary rail rather than a side character. “It’s not a prediction of the date. It’s a valuation argument. The price decides when. The structure decides whether,” he concluded.
It is worth noting that BigShortRare’s thesis was supported by a cryptocurrency analyst Surf Predictions that the price of Litecoin will soon rise to $2,000. The attached chart showed that the target price raise may occur by 2028.
At the time of writing, Litecoin is trading at around $64, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
