After three years of ups and downs, the price of the cryptocurrency litecoin has finally set a new all-time high.Launched in late 2011 as an optimization of bitcoin's open-source code, litecoin has since seen its share of volatility – its previous all-time high was $53.15 in November 2013. However, this figure proved so outsized that even amidst a broader increase in the cryptocurrency market earlier this year, litecoin was unable to join other cryptocurrencies in setting new highs.
