Being authorised does not mean they are the best option for you: it means they may operate legally. Fees and service are something you have to look at separately. This is not investment advice.

And when you sell at a profit, it has to be declared: work out what you pay in Spanish income tax using the FIFO method the tax office requires. And if you hold more than €50,000 on platforms outside Spain, you also have to file form 721, which is informational and costs nothing.

What is Litecoin

Litecoin trades under the ticker LTC and ranks #25 by market capitalisation in the CoinGecko catalogue. It runs on its own blockchain, using the Scrypt algorithm. Its genesis block is dated 8 October 2011. CoinGecko lists it under infrastructure, smart contract platforms and layer 1 chains.

Project description from CoinGecko

Litecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency designed to enable instant, near-zero cost payments to individuals and merchants worldwide. As an open-source global payment network that functions independently of central banks or intermediaries, its main value proposition lies in providing a scarce digital asset with a fixed maximum supply of 84 million tokens. The network operates using a Proof of Work mechanism where computers solve complex puzzles to confirm transactions and secure the blockchain. It is distinguished by a block generation time of 2.5 minutes, which allows for faster transaction confirmations and a higher total throughput than earlier protocols. Key technical features include the Scrypt hashing algorithm, which promotes wider network participation, and MimbleWimble Extension Blocks, which improve user privacy by allowing transaction details to be hidden. The LTC token is used for settling global payments, executing microtransactions through smaller units called litoshis, and diversifying digital portfolios with a highly liquid asset. New tokens are issued to miners as rewards for verifying blocks, though these rewards undergo a halving event approximately every four years to strictly control inflation. This process ensures the ledger maintains immutability, meaning records cannot be changed once they are saved to the global network. Created by former Google engineer Charlie Lee, the project is supported by the Litecoin Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to ecosystem adoption. Unlike many venture-backed projects, it is maintained by a decentralized community of independent developers and a global network of miners. The project has seen recent institutional adoption, with entities like Lite Strategy and Luxxfolio Holdings adding significant amounts of LTC to their corporate treasuries as of late 2025.

Four steps: open an account with a provider authorised to operate in Spain, verify your identity, deposit euros by SEPA transfer and buy Litecoin in the matching pair. If you plan to hold for a long time, consider withdrawing to a wallet you control: moving your coins to your own custody is not a sale, so it is not taxed. Selling Litecoin at a profit is, and you can work out how much.

Litecoin price scenarios

Litecoin trades today at $50.58. Its all-time high was $410.26, reached on May 9, 2021. Going back to that level would mean a rise of 711.1% from the current price, that is, multiplying it by 8.11.

At the other end, its all-time low was $1.15 on January 13, 2015: from there the price has multiplied by 44. That path already happened and says nothing about the next one.

Why you will not find a price prediction here

There is no method that reliably predicts the price of a cryptocurrency. It depends on regulation, on adoption, on interest rates, on the decisions of a handful of very large firms and on market sentiment — none of which follows from today's price. A figure twelve months out would not be analysis: it would be an invented number that looks like data.

What you can look at is right above, and it is verifiable: the all-time high and low with their dates, how far away each one is and the recent path. With that you decide for yourself, which is rather more than a figure with nothing behind it gives you.
