In an unexpected move, the official Twitter account for Litecoin (LTC), a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency modeled after Bitcoin, surprised the community with a bold announcement.

The account shared that, due to current market trends, it now identifies as a memecoin, joining the wave of digital currencies gaining attention in the meme-inspired sector.

This statement has drawn attention from both investors and other prominent players in the memecoin space. Dogecoin ( DOGE ), the leading memecoin, responded with enthusiasm, offering a welcoming gesture towards Litecoin’s newfound identity. Dogecoin took to Twitter to engage its followers, inviting them to brainstorm potential mascot ideas for Litecoin.

“Hey fam, Litecoin is now identified as a memecoin, so can we help them make a few LTC memes to get them started? I think it could be a chibi mascot of some sort,” the Dogecoin account posted, rallying fans to join in on the fun.
