Litecoin has completed its much-anticipated halving event today, but it seems the investors have reacted by participating in a selloff.<\/p>\n

Litecoin Has Completed Its Third Halving, Block Rewards Now Down To 6.25 LTC<\/h2>\n

The “halving<\/a>” event is where LTC’s block rewards are permanently cut in half. This event is periodic, occurring approximately every four years or roughly every 840,000 blocks miners hash.<\/p>\n

Today’s halving was Litecoin’s third, meaning its block rewards have been cut three times since its genesis. In the first halving, the cryptocurrency saw its block rewards go from an initial 50 LTC to 25 LTC, and with the second, the tips dropped further to 12.5 LTC.<\/p>\n

With the latest halving event, miners’ rewards for solving blocks have been cut down further to 6.25 LTC. The reason that halvings even exist is because they serve as a measure for controlling the asset’s inflation.<\/p>\n

These block rewards that miners receive are the only way to introduce fresh tokens into the circulating supply, so cutting them down repeatedly makes sure that the cryptocurrency’s supply goes up slower and slower.<\/p>\n

Eventually, when the halvings would keep on happening, the block rewards would approach zero. This would occur approximately in 2142. After this point, the asset’s supply will hit the maximum cap, and the miners will have to rely on transaction fees<\/a> to pay off their running costs.<\/p>\n

As halvings are important events, it’s natural that there has been a lot of discussion around this latest event as it has approached. During the start of July, the asset had observed a sharp rally towards the $114 mark, as the market had perhaps become hopeful for the halving, which was only one month away.<\/p>\n

This rally, however, ran out of steam soon enough, and since then, LTC has struggled to put together any significant bullish momentum.<\/p>\n
