About Litecoin
Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that was founded in 2011, two years after Bitcoin, by a former Google engineer named Charlie Lee. Litecoin has always been viewed as a reaction to Bitcoin. In fact, when Lee announced the debut of Litecoin, he called it the “lite version of Bitcoin.” However, Litecoin has some inherent advantages when compared to bitcoin. It was founded with the goal of prioritizing transaction speed. Today, Litecoin is also widely utilized for its low transaction fees and established network reliability, making it a popular choice for payments and transfers.
Risks
As with all assets, investing in Litecoin is not without some general risks. Many of these risks are identified and explained in our Risk Statement. In addition to the general risks, we outline some risks that are specific to Litecoin below. While we make an effort to identify every source of risk, we encourage you to do your own research and ensure you are comfortable investing in Litecoin.
New Privacy Features Raise AML Concerns
The Litecoin network includes an optional privacy feature known as Mimblewimble Extension Blocks (MWEB). MWEB allows users to transact on the network without exposing transaction amounts or address balances on the public blockchain. While this feature enhances user privacy, it may conflict with anti-money laundering (AML) laws in certain jurisdictions. Exchanges may refuse to support MWEB transactions or may be required to delist Litecoin entirely to comply with local regulations. For example, several centralized exchanges (CEXs) in South Korea delisted Litecoin following the activation of MWEB. Investors should be aware that the existence of privacy-enhancing features could lead to future regulatory restrictions or delistings, depending on how governments view such technologies.
To be made available for trading on Bitbuy’s platform, a digital asset must pass the following due diligence reviews:
Bitbuy undertakes these three levels of due diligence in order to determine whether the digital asset is compliant with our legal and regulatory obligations, is secure, and has historical data supporting a beneficial business case. Bitbuy’s New Product Committee must provide final approval for a new digital asset to be made available on the platform.
