there are changes in top 10 coins constantly, and one top project lost spot in top 10 (EOS), and there is other top and strong project that is close to be out from top 10 positions, it is LTC, which marketcap is some 10-30% larger than competition that is trying to get into top 10 spots (BNB, CRO, XTZ, XLM), and that difference is constantly decreasing

8. LTC - 1 year change is -57,3%
9. Chainlink - 1 year change is 125,4%
10. BNB - 1 year change is -42,7%
11. CRO - 1 year change is 73,1%
12. EOS - 1 year change is -47,0%
13. XTZ - 1 year change is 179,5%
14. XLM - 1 year change is -8,4%

so, XTZ has best performance is a year, followed by LINK and CRO, with LTC as worst performer in a year, followed by BNB and EOS, within positions around 10th on the crypto coins list

Probably soon because looking at the link, LTC is one of the biggest losers.
Actually it's already rank at number 9, so it's dropping.

I'm just a bit confuse with your ranking, where did you get that data man?  it does not coincide with the CMC ranking.

please check here https://coinmarketcap.com/

Im thinking same thing here, LTC will lose out of top ten rank very soon, it was a different kinda view early this year when LTC team changed their logos and everything looks modern but that's that, nothing new, honestly I though the team will do something new with use case, lol some even start buying after the logo updated

Top 25 in marketcap, ranked according its specific category. This is how coinmarketcap should show marketcap and ranking.

I doubt that LTC will lose the top 10 level, it's old but still very useful, cheap transaction fee and fast speed but honestly I'm disappointed that the team did nothing about new use case or features at list, it's been way too long

LTC not yet out of top 10, it has remained to top 9. The ranking for the altcoins community has always been wavy.
No one will know when an altcoin will remain at its place. They could be at the top of their peak now but might change for the next months.

Although it's very old, LTC is not something so much different from Bitcoin. And nowadays the investors may look for something different.
LTC had its good days with big advertising. Those seem to be part of the past.
The number of businesses accepting LTC didn't have a spectacular rise afaik, negating the advantage of being such an old coin. Quite shame..

LTC won't go below top ten believe that, what ever is going on with the project from the team side will be revealed in coming months, I believe that old project is more than just been alive doing nothing, do no underestimate old LTC, it's different from many new projects today

rankings are from coingecko, but should not be different on CMC as well, all the list should be the same
maybe it is just cross-time, since all coins change their value, and as someone noticed, LTC is hoovering to number nine at the moment, as i can see from the poll at the begininng six month time frame for drop-out is most voted

You do have a good point, still, without a bit of making waves (advertising) and also getting a deal with some big chain to accept LTC as payment (to make LTC useful indeed), I don't see much happening.
Of course, there are also many other coins in top10 which don't deserve their spot. But long enough time will handle this.

I don't expect LTC go out of top10 quick and forever (if it goes out now, it may be for short time). But on the long term, more than one year, if they don't move then they will surely go out.

LTC is one of the best coins in term of usage, scalability, low tx fee. It may get out of top 10 in short term but it will surely recover and regain its position. Considering 1 year change is not a good idea since the whole last two years were bad for all the other altcoin. Chainlink certainly had some updates or good news which was the main reason of such changes.

There are many new coins that are pumping for a while and i am noticing Chainlink as it always goes up even when the entire market is going down and we might see more coins breaking into the top ten but the longevity is the question, i am eager to see whether these coins that are performing now will be able to do the same in the next couple of years and i highly doubt whether they will be able to do so.

It's not for this time but it's for the future. I thought that you must understand about some people have speculated if litecoin will be going out from top 10 and this time it's on 9th position, that means if litecoin can be kicking out by another coin anytime. Say bye to the litecoin.

But according to https://www.coingecko.com/en, LTC still ranks number 8. So it really depends on where you look at it, but nevertheless it is already losing a lot of value as ADA and LINK are making a good run. LTC is still a solid coin though, it has been in the market for many years although it doesn't have any purpose except being the "little brother" of BTC and has been used as testing ground like the halvening. So probably in the next coming months it could really be out of the top 10 altcoins.

It's sad to see the the state of LTC which I always prefer for transaction as it's lightening speed a well as very low transaction fee but we have to understand it's a dynamic marketplace wherein there are always possibilities of new coins overtaking the traditional ones. But I feel LTC will over come the challenges and do what is required to stay on top 10 coins.

yeah, it is hoovering between eigth and ninth position, but the trend is to go down, so i presume that LINK will go above LTC in near future, six months for sure
it is not just that LTC is a good coin/project, which i will not say it is not, but short or long term potential from some coins is much better than LTC, and that should be keept in mind for investment purposes
it is not just about losing money, because i do not think that LTC will go down in bull market, but LTC increase will be slower than other coins, which will in turn overcome LTC in market capitalization

Think twice mate. Look at the graph and you will realize how its graph portray a bad performance compared the other coins. Based on CMC, it was in the 8th spot not 10th. But I think that's not the point here, the point is it seems that LTC is now losing its hype. BNB coin's market cap is now having a $2.83B super close to LTC's $2.84B (and Chainlink got $2.61) that's why I will not be surprised if we wake up one day and see that LTC rank down to 10th place or farther. Nevertheless, I do believe that it was still a good coin for investing :).

It is difficult to answer at this question, as there are still a lot of big players who trade using Litecoin, and as long as this will continue, Litecoin will remain in the top 10, maybe Litecoin will surprise us with something new, although it's already hard to believe, but we will wait and we will follow Litecoin.

LTC still have strong support, don't underestimate this project, it's very hard that LTC can go down under it's 7th position on coinmarketcap but only time will tell, chainlink is presently doing very well and been bullish since a month now, I won't underestimate LTC if I were you

op isnt asking for answers because there is no question anyway so you dont need to stress yourself out for answers  . the only difficult here is to accept the fact that ltc showed some negative percents based on the evaluation of the op  . you are right that ltc is one of those favored coins in the list above  so its hard to believe that it performed bad this year  . title is only a bit missleading  because ltc is only ranked at 8 spot and not yet out of the top 10 and will never be out of it but i believe that it can rank higher in the future

It's better for you to check the latest news about ltc to know what problem that has already faced by ltc and that news makes litecoin has a lot of possibility to go out from top 10 cmc.
It has no funds to continue the development to built more innovation to the protocols. Litecoin will be going out from top 10 asap.

it litecoin continue droping in performance, its not impossible for litecoin out from top 10 coinmarketcap.many projects that well developted now and also have good performace in market capitalization ,so ltc team must concern on it.  XTZ and LINK be best performancer in this year due their developtment progress , especially in few months ago LINK price soar extremely.

I think it's very difficult if Litecoin is out of rank 10, Litecoin has fans and high volume on each exchanger besides litecoin has a fast network and very cheap fees, factors that make litecoin will survive

It should be based on demand and the hype of the coin, but it's true, Litecoin is a good coin, old but reliable and it might stay at the top 10 for long.
However, if it will fall, it will because there's a great competition of coins near to this coin's marketcap, but in terms of survival, this coin is already proven that will certainly survive.

https://coinmarketcap.com/
https://imgbbb.com/images/2020/07/14/competitors.png


you can see the competition, it's very close.

i did not mean that LTC will not survive, it will probably, but will be out of top 10, as the trend continue, it was on position two, then lower and lower, and now it is on position nine, and it will be out from the top 10 in the future, probably out of top 20 in a year or so, since there is a lot of good projects that are increasing in value

It's possible that LTC could loss it's position soon if there won't be any news that will keep it's glory alive, things have been pretty quiet about LTC development for a while now, it's dangerous if the team decide not to do anything

I don't think it's going to be ranked out of 10 since it is one of the most useful coin and most valueable in terms of low fee tx, also it's the best forked coin of BTC. Also, there's an announcement by Charlie that soon there will be new version of LTC with some major upgrades.

Throughout the existence of cryptomarket, the top coins have changed frequently... For example, in 2014-2015, the LTC was in second and third place... And some of the coins from the past top are now in 100-200-300 places! ;D

So I think that LTC is still stable as always!

No doubt considering the recent performances of the coins it looks like chainlink and tezos can move up in coming months, although i like ltc from the start for unknown reasons but looks like it lacks new things or updates that is why the community is perhaps bored of it and it is slowly losing its top positions, maybe its time ltc should also comeup with something new now.

If someone make 2 forks of Bitcoin then LTC is out as soon as that happens.  Droping out of top10 coinmarketcap listing have nothing to do how good coin it just have a lot to do with new coins appearing on the list.  Comparing coins that was very differently created by marketcap is dumb. It is like comparing apples with oranges.

Litecoin is fair launch PoW coin and is not blockhain fork of Bitcoin. On CMC we have most such coins let me list them for you.

1. Bitcoin BTC
2. Litecoin LTC
3. Monero XMR
4. Dogecoin DOGE
5. DigiByte DGB
6. Decred DCR
7. Siacoin SC

That is the top7 of coins that can be fairly compared with Litecoin by marketcap.

Founder of Litecoin, Charlie Lee stated that he sold out of his LTC when its price reached ATH at the beginning of 2018. So in my opinion with a coin that has been around for so long as LTC, the opportunity for it to rise to that price is very difficult. We can bet on the newer altcoins with better technology like LINK or XTZ.

It will probably stay in the top list for at least a minimum of 1 year though because of how it was being used as a low fee alternative for Bitcoin and it has a huge community supporting it. There's also still developments going on since the developer itself announced it (I found a news souce here (https://invezz.com/news/2020/06/12/ltc-development-still-on-going/), read with care). If they continue to deliver more development to the project then LTC would still stay at the top.

Better if you provide the source where did you get this ranking, it is easier for us to compare and give our insights.

I don't really mind LTC that much, I know way back then after it dumped hard that it will not be as huge as ethereum or just even the bitcoincash. LTC is losing its position not just now, it happened before also then it gets back, many people even me thought that the pump would be enough to get litecoin back but it didn't happen. Chainlink and Tezos are better than it now, knowing that people are getting a close call on these coins profit are quite expected. Let LTC hibernate, I guess it needs some upgrade, isn't it ?

Currently, litecoin is undervalued and there is no way it is not going to add value if people started to understand how good its blockchain is. I think we are still at the early stages of cryptocurrencies development and it is hard to see litecoin been push down in a long run

LTC investors are waiting for the bullish trend and it is one of the old coin so there may not be many weak hands to sell huge chunk of LTC when the market is stagnant for a while.But coinmarket cap value doesn't represent the actual crypto ranking its just one of the shittiest comparision we are doing in crypto space.

LTC will have to lose in the competition if they never push into more market ads and good strategy. Yeah, they'll find good before but that was the time when more investors are investing altcoins but they are different now, they consider most in Bitcoin than altcoins.

The team has already been speculating a lot for this project in the coming years and I hope they are serious about this otherwise this could lead them into a big loss and out from the top listed coin in the market. The future of this project will rely upon on how the devs had worked on it.

https://changelly.com/blog/litecoin-price-prediction/

new projects are coming up to find their spot on top 10 and if LTC can't maintain the position it will be replaced by the new ones like CRO. EOS and TRON will likely outrank the ones on top. its cryptocurrency's the circle of life, the old ones are going to get older without even stepping up in the top 10 and some that had been on top 10 are going to be replaced by a better coin.

I lost trust in Litecoin when Charlie Lee sold all of his coins. This seems like he has stopped believing in his own cryptocurrency plus I am afraid that he knows about Litecoin´s future more than others - the idea occurred to me as Charlie Lee sold his entire portfolio at ATH price - a coincidence? I do not think so.

We don't know about that, but I think that could be possible if litecoin is lost support from the investors. There will be a panic selling from the investors, and they will moves to the other potential coins, so they can back to make a profit again. It is hard to believe if litecoin can be out of the top 10 coins, but we know that in the crypto world, there is a possibility to see that thing will happen. But I hope that litecoin will not lose its position at the market, and litecoin can survive and even can compete with the other coins.

What more could have anyone expected from a left alone project. It may continue to operate as one of the earlier coin and as a community project but it would see further downtrend as investors flock out of it. Newer coins and active development are sure to win over older and stagnant coins in both marketcap and use. The market would decide what kind of crypto the people need for use and what kind of crypto traders need.

In my own opinion, Litecoin has a chance to survive and not to lose its position as one of the top 10 coins in the market because it has high liquidity and a large marketcap, that is why investors will not lose their support in LTC. More investors would also consider investing their money in LTC this year because of its continuous development in their project.

Currently, there are many new project and much better than LTC. So I believe that this year LTC will come out of the top 10, I gave up investing in LTC from 2019 because of the failure to raise prices in halving. It has made many investors lose

LTC looks an outdate coin compared with the new coin like ADA or something else. LTC can't do a lot consider it doesn't have funding to be used for the further development progress. So many people have been starting to think liquidate their ltc into another coin too. It will be out from top 10

Even though there were many new projects before the pandemic was running, it certainly benefited from the presence of new projects, but currently there are not many new projects that are working well. instead many need extended time because they don't get a lot of investors to support the project. if there is success it is unfortunate that the existing value is not in accordance with what is expected.

still tokens that already exist in the market that remain a potential investment, so are not sure that the new project can change and replace.
LTC is currently not very in its best position, but it is very confident that LTC will remain in the best position in the market.
see the potential that still exists in the LTC will certainly be able to make the LTC can survive, not to mention the potential of the increment of the rise of bitcoin then it is certain the top token will be helped.
we are waiting for bitcoin to move in a higher direction.

LTC needs some kind of new upgrades or better features, presently LTC isn't offering anything than same thing you can find in dogecoin, fast transact speed and cheap transact fee, that's all, Algorithm is still same, maybe going Proof of Stake could help? That's on the team

It's better for you to see the statement that has already made by charlie lie as the founder of litecoin foundation and he was clearly stated that the foundation has the problem with operational funds and that means if litecoin can give you a lot of upgrades as it has limited resources

Meaning that LTC has funds issue presently? That's a very big problem honestly but this project as many successful histories, how is this even possible? I find this very hard to believe though, anyways it's better to do something that watch LTC lose its position from top 10

There are tons of good projects coming out with their mainnet network and I don't think LTC will be able to keep up with them and eventually end up losing it top 10 position in CMC according to market cap.

The real issue with the LTC price is the fact there are futures contracts holding the price down this has been going on for some months now this is the impact futures trading on things like Bitcoin and Litecoin had un-seen consequences we know litecoin should be a $100+ coin by now but the big whales are keeping the price suppressed while making bank going long and short on the futures market then manipulating the spot market to make the gains in there futures contracts at 125x.

It's very important to keep providing updates as this changing business keeps on producing competitive projects, if LTC will not show
anything to work about it's position the chance of new project to replace it and takeover the place inside top 10 is very possible, we
know that in this investment market, position also influenced investors so it's a must to keep you in a much decent comfortable place.

I think that very soon the top 20 at the coinmarketcap will be completely different. a lot of new and promising projects will show good results over the next few years

It is a real shame that ltc is no longer in the top 10% but this is for the period, in this period a lot of new coins with lower volumes have higher marketcap for their pump. I'm pretty sure that douring the bullrun LTC will be in the top 10 again

indeed, this token is quite long, and it must be remembered that this token is very potential and when viewed from the beginning he was present, now is a progress that has been achieved. ltc is a very good token and can last long enough, many have generated profits for those who hold it.

look at the movements that occur at this time there is indeed a sense of worry but if you look at a few months back ltc is included, which is quite able to survive the conditions that were not good at that time.
if bitcoin can move up, it can be ascertained that all altcoins are carried along, I am very sure ltc will also move up even it will be surprising in a way that might not be expected by anyone. I still believe that even if thrown between the ranks below ten, LTC will not be revived soon.

would not agree, IMO LTC will be out of top15, if not top20 in case of prolonged bull run, there is a lot of good projects with market capitalization that is close or above 1 billion, and all of them could overcome LTC in case of bull run, of course one should always do their own analysis, this is just my opinion

I don't think Litecoin deserve the top 10 in the space again, there is little or no development from the team and now there are many project showing good promising and deserve the top position, I believe if Bitcoin development stalled other projects would take its position in future

It has lost some hype, but it will stay relevant for yrs to come probably. Everyone is all about defi right now, but it will die out just like everything does eventually. Then the top 10 will shuffle around again

The litecoin itself will die while another platform has been focusing to take defi as the main development progress. litecoin offers nothing compared with what already offered by defi. Defi is a real product while you can't expect a lot from litecoin to be a payment system.

Just months ago they are in the top 5 now they are in the number six spot they are going down fast, it could be out of the top 10 in the next six months, all the other coins are developing and updating, even if they are pairs in other exchanges things can still change and they might be overtaken if they lack more volumes to compete in the top market, they should do something about it.

I am among who are still loyal to hold LTC as my long-term investment, I will sell my LTC at the end 2021, I believe the Litecoin Team will not be silent to compete with various other competitors, we will wait for what they will launch in the future, I hope there are the latest innovations.

I think it would soon be out of the top 10 coins there are so many good alt-coin that is performing well this year that have a potential to take over its spot on the top 10.
I also think that there would be more that would be replace in the top 10 crypto even if they have been on the top 10 for so long.
It wouldn't really matter how long they have been on the spot if there are way more better crypto than them then they would surely be taken over by it.

LTC is not out of Top 10 coins as I have checked it a few moments ago on Coinmarketcap website there it is still on 9th position and I think LTC will remain in top 10 position even in crypto bearish season.

LTC lost it's position to Chainlink. Nevertheless LTC is still 4th place on WorldCoinIndex (https://www.worldcoinindex.com/coin/litecoin). How long will it take to loose this 4th position on the list?

It is better to rate them through Coinmarketcap, Coinmarketcap is the largest website in this market and most accurate so we can rely on the statistics there. And with this situation, I believe that in the next 6 months LTC will be overcome by BNB and fall out of the top 10

and what is a methodology for listing on worldcoinindex? i can see that they are not sorting coins by market capitalization, they are listing it by some other metrics, but i can not see which metrics is used, it is interesting that LINK is on position three, while ETC is on position eight, would like to know which good things from these coins made them on these positions, to know their strenghts

I don't think LTC will be out of top 10 coins on CMC, lol. It proved its worth before and even today alongside Bitcoin so unless there is something big that happened to LTC or the market, no.

I agree with how qwizzie put a division with different types of coins and their usage.
Here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262081.msg54791982#msg54791982

Tether and BNB should not be in line with the coins. Let's say because of their usage and industry.
So, if summed up LTC is still in a good spot.
People may be forgetting about it but it is one of the best next to bitcoin. Maybe because of the new coins that are like mushrooms.

I said LTC will shuffle out the top 10 in 1 year more or less. LTC, they're clearly slowing down with nothing new bring up the table to keep LTC relevant among its holders.

I believe it will happen soon, LTC is dropping their position on the chart. Months have passed and they do not have any positive news that makes the price go up, in the next 2-3 months I believe that BNB will go down to 12-15 at coinmarketcap.

stellar, eos, and tezos will have to do better to kick litecoin out of the top 10 coins.. well I'm not sure ive ever really owned litecoin before.. I guess.  the crypto currency world really is changing fast.. waves is nowhere in sight

EOS has to do better to reach LTC, and XTZ is already doing good, and XLM was above LTC in 2018, so could go up again, i do not see that as an issue, they just need some time
but there are others, new projects that will eventually overcome LTC, as LINK already did, for example REN, BNB

The marketcap of some alts increase faster like the stablecoins so that leaves one more to remove LTC from the top 10. If CRO's continues for the next few months they'll probably cruise right through LTC. With that said I think LTC is going to be removed in six months but if the stablecoins and exchange coins aren't counted I think it'll take a year or maybe a few before going down.

Since the founder of Litecoin sold all of this coin, this project has been neglected for a long time and this makes investors feel very sad because of what is happening. I am not sure about the future of this coin but LTC will definitely drop even more so if you are considering investing then you should be careful. I have not invested in this coin for the past one year because holding this coin only wastes my time.

yeah, i agree that stablecoins should not be in the list, since their marketcap is not increasing in value due to market variations, but exchange coins should be on the list, why not?
LTC was one of the first crypto coins that i have meet, but think that LTC time is passed, and it will go down eventually

With or without the founder of litecoin have the coin or not, litecoin will trying to survive. We know that litecoin is a strong coin that tries to pass the hard situation today, and not just the other coin, litecoin even trying to lift the price someday. But well, we will see it later, whether litecoin will be out from the top 10 positions or not, and we can let the market decide.

If there's no upcoming updates or news from this project eventually new coins will replace it from the top list,
it's very important that the team provides upcoming plans so the supporters
will keep holding and supporting the project.



Not sure if you mean BNB or LTC, as per BNB there are so many updates from CZ it surely hype this coin and supporters
will flow out and invest with this coin.

I voted 6 months. Litecoin hasn't had any major update in recent times. The last major event in their ecosystem was the hard fork that happened about 2 years ago. What about development? Not looking good as well. The last major release was over a year ago (13 months to be exact). The last commit on their  Github repository (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin) is 3 months ago. Comparing this with other competitors, Litecoin has a slim chance. The thing is, if it drops below top 10, it won't be be lomg before it goes down even further.

You are very wrong here. Lietecoin is a direct copy of Bitcoin. They never planed to do any big changes, but stay as close as possible to Bitcoin. That is their sell point. If you believe Litecoin will be replaced you should also believe that Bitcoin will be replaced. 

do not agree, why in the hell will someone think that BTC should be replaced, if think that LTC did not proved value over the years, LTC was in top 10 for a long time, but seems that they are not offering anything new last two years, and some other project, younger, stronger, with larger community are replacing them in top 10 list, does not have to be that they are solving the same issue, LTC is trying to provide network for fast and small fee payment, and they are good at it, but there are other projects that offer something new and more interesting, that are making better usage and larger market capitalization, it is as simple as that

It seems chainlink is going to be the top performer of the year 2020 which must be a complete surprises for me. I never thought a ethereum token to be performing like this. I guess they will soon launch their own native blockchain soon.

Getting back to the topic, I guess there could be more than 5 places in top 10 coins belong to new coins which is not at all existing in last bull run of 2017/2018. This way I am exacting tezos, Tron, BNB, ada and chainlink could be reserving their places on top 10 altcoins for coming months. I am not recommending anyone to invest them but I am just stating about the hype they have created in recent times (because, it may not perform well like before after this time onward, who knows' this is how most altcoins works AFAIC).

maybe a lot of project born with many features, but litecoin is digital silver if bitcoin is a digital gold
so, i believe if litecoin will always stand as the Top 10 coin my friend

I came across a long time ago that there is no development going on now in litecoin. I don't know the truth about it but if there's a smoke, there's fire. So I won't be surprised if ltc will exit from the top 10 coins. But in any case, you can dig more about the real status of ltc development, to know if they still have something up their sleeves.

LTC has not shown significant development in recent months, even though I like it a little. It is possible that LTC can get out of the top 10 on the CoinMarketCap site because many projects are developing more rapidly now. Likely Tron will rise to the top 10.

But ranking is not very important for me personally, most importantly the project continues to develop and innovate new things. The ranking continues to change is reasonable in order to increase project competition in a healthy manner and all projects strive to be the best.

This is a very hard question to answer, many big whales still holds big bags of LTC and also full time traders still use LTC to trade on big exchanges, I think LTC is fine and won't go down under top 10, it's never going to happen

No one know about that, but I guess that could be possible if litecoin is lost trust  from the investors. There will be a big panic selling from the investors, and they will moves to the other potential coins.It is difficult to predict if litecoin can be out of the top 10 coins, but we know that in the crypto world,Anything can happen.Hopefully litecoin will not lose its position at the market, and litecoin can survive in long term.

It is impossible for investors to lose their trust on Litecoin because a lot of investors are now investing their funds in LTC due to it's high trading volume that traders and investors don't have any problems on where they will buy or sell it to. So it is impossible for Litecoin to be out of the top 10 altcoins in the market.

I also think it is very difficult to answer. But I don't think it will happen suddenly. I also personally use LTC for transactions on exchanges.

and it happened, sooner than expected, but officially LTC is out of top 10 today, with BSV and CRO took position nine and ten
think that it will never come into top 10 again, maybe briefly in following days, but this process is irreversible, it was three months time since i raised this pool

I had invested in litecoin for a long time and still have some LTCs left in my wallet but I think many investors just moved on to other coins and have converted their litecoin to other more promising coins in the top ten. Nevertheless, if the developers are still active they need to do something to give more to investors that remained loyal to litecoin.

Litecoin is a proven project with a big community! And I am sure that with time it will still be able to bring profit to investors, even if it is not in the top 10 CMC! ;)
