The litecoin price has gained by 1.4% in the past 24 hours, climbing to $91.34 as the cryptocurrency market continues to weather the effects of the SEC taking enforcement action against Paxos and its BUSD stablecoin. Its current price marks a 5% loss in a week, although the coin remains up by 4% in the last 30 days.
This appreciation in the past month has been helped by the Litecoin Foundation's announcement that its Mastercard-powered Litecoin Card will be launching in Europe. And with LTC's 24-hour trading volume rising above $600 million, the token could have further gains in store in the coming days.

However, Litecoin's fundamentals arguably make it one of the best altcoins in the market. As mentioned above, the Litecoin Foundation recently expanded its partnership with Unbanked and Mastercard into Europe, building on the success Litecoin Card has had since launching in the United States some two years ago.
