From Loshan-
Litecoin Core v0.21.5.8 is now available.
All users are advised to upgrade. This release contains important security updates.
## Update from https://litecoin.org only.
This is a maintenance release that improves **MWEB validation, transaction relay, mining, and resource management**. Upgrading is strongly recommended for all users, especially miners, pools, exchanges, and MWEB service operators.
This release also includes changes from v0.21.5.7, which was prepared as an important security fix and distributed only to mining pools rather than being publicly released.
MWEB sitting at over 563,000 coins pegged in at the time of writing.
While the amount of coins pegged in are updated hourly, (because transparent reserves were important to the community) the coins go through a mixer, history is trimmed, and new addresses are generated when they are pegged out.
This prevents anyone from looking at the coin history or address and following it back to your wallet- keeping your total held private. The way it should be.

LitVM is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) layer-2 rollup network designed to bring smart contracts and decentralized finance (DeFi) to Litecoin, utilizing the Arbitrum Nitro stack and BitcoinOS. LiteForge is the official testnet environment launched for LitVM to let developers build and test Web3 apps and real world assets (RWAs).
According to the latest @ForceX data holders greater than 3+ months now hold a massive amount of coins totaling 60.8 Million coins.
The largest growth has happened in wallets containing 0.5-1 coins since 2022.
(12.49 + 22.54 + 11.59 + 5.76 + 9.87 + 4.45 + 12.28 = 78.98%)
More information to follow as this evolves.
What exactly is MWEB you ask?
Litecoin coins move along the main blockchain similar to cars on a highway.
MWEB is a privacy layer on the same blockchain that coins can move to, but with privacy, think of it as more like a tunnel.
Coins can be seen entering and recorded as yours in number, but they go through some changes inside MWEBs privacy layer.
They are mixed around, meaning you may use a different coin when moving off (or “pegging out”) MWEB.
The histories of the coins are trimmed- which is important when being concerned about your coins getting confiscated (for example they were given to you from someone who gets flagged).
As they leave MWEB, they are spent from a newly generated address. That means anyone looking at your Litecoin history cannot trace it back to your wallet or see how many coins you have or your transaction history. Privacy makes you safer.
MWEB itself has quantum switches built in- which can protect users coins in the case of an attack, moving the coins to a different layer, and leaving the quantum computer to attack an empty block.
There are drawbacks. It is not as private as Monero and ZCash, because we are able to record coin totals by tallying the entering and exiting coins.
It’s an overall total, not including your personal addresses (because it’s a new address/coin leaving MWEB).
Personally, I like the idea that this is more for honest users and retail wallet protection, and less used by businesses embezzling funds, or criminals that want absolute privacy.
While recent coin exploits may have left some of the fully private chains unable to clearly show their total coins, we were able to verify our balance and make sure no coins were lost.
I also like seeing the coin reserves transparently logged.
We always will know how many Litecoin and MWEB coins there are.
8/14/2026 Litecoin stored on the privacy layer of MWEB broke 510,000 Litecoin
Litecoiners are out in force to change their own fate right now, as skyrocketing transaction numbers and tightening coin supplies collide.
Litecoin stored on the privacy layer of MWEB broke the ATH record last week, only to turn around and break it again this week.
505,481.58682765 LTC are currently pegged into MWEB.
This takes place as a series of announcements hit the community today, including LitVM transaction numbers surpassing 200,000,000 in only 15 weeks of the test net, and the announcement that smart contracts are going live today.
Join Bourne as he discusses the new ecosystem and answers any questions there may be. Other LitVM team will be there to help support the Q&A portion.
Two of our great long term community members have created Data platforms to help us visualize and explore Litecoin holdings, transactions and more.
I was lucky enough to Beta-test ForceX and helped provide some of the data to Litecoinregister.com (which has been around for well over a year now.)
I think it’s important to share these two sites periodically because the more we check them out the more they can grow, and lot of time went into these for our community.
Don’t forget to check out the free available data from @ForceX and Litecoinregister.com
I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how many coins have been progressively locked up amongst other important data sets.

“Litecoin’s active coin supply is currently turning over roughly 26 times faster than Bitcoin’s active supply. Bitcoin’s Velocity is Low. Litecoin’s Velocity is Extreme.”
Over 50 MILLION of the only 84 Million coin supply has been held longer than 6 months.
The amount of Litecoin actually available to the market is much smaller than the total supply suggests.
Data shows that more supply is being held for longer periods of time.
- 44% hasn't moved in over 1 year
- 16.5% hasn't moved in over 5 years
- 11.8% (9M) hasn't moved in over 7 years
This means the amount of $LTC actively circulating or realistically available to the market is meaningfully lower than the circulating supply figure alone would imply.
The data also shows that the active portion of Litecoin circulating is doing significant economic work.
Over the last 30 days, adjusted payment value totaled roughly 522M LTC, averaging about 17.4M LTC per day. That daily average is larger than the entire supply cohort that has moved within the past 3 months, indicating that the active portion is supporting substantial transaction activity relative to its size.
This doesn't mean each LTC is unique across every transaction, but it does show that the available float is being used heavily.
This also isn't a price forecast, but it's an important market structure observation. As new issuance of this digital silver continues to decline, supply and demand analysis should account for both available float and the level of transaction activity that float is already supporting, not just total circulating supply.
