A digital currency prime dealer that focuses on institutional investors and high-volume traders, SFOX, disclosed Thursday that it has added trading support for Litecoin (LTC). According to their statement, the move was part of the prime dealer’s broader expansion strategy to be the first digital assets management platform for institutional investors. Before now, the platform had been offering Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) on their platform. By cataloging LTC, this latest addition brings the total number of cryptocurrencies to four. Also, the new kid on the block will see the prime dealer offer its customers USD/LTC transactions. And for crypto-asset customers looking to diversify their interests in cryptocurrency holdings, SFOX will also offer them BTC/LTC pairing.

Litecoin (LTC) vs Bitcoin (BTC)
