Ethereum vs Litecoin: what the numbers say
At the latest snapshot, 1 ETH = 38.866159 LTC.
By market capitalisation, Ethereum is the larger network — about 60.8× the size of Litecoin in AUD terms. Larger caps generally mean deeper liquidity on Australian exchanges and tighter spreads, while smaller caps can move more sharply on news or thin order books.
Over the past seven days, ETH is down 2.06% while LTC is down 0.79% — Litecoin has out-performed by 1.27 percentage points. Short-term percentage moves show momentum but say nothing about long-term value.
Australian buyers can trade both Ethereum and Litecoin on AUSTRAC-registered exchanges such as CoinSpot, Independent Reserve, Swyftx and Kraken AU. Each disposal — including swapping ETH for LTC — is a CGT event under ATO guidance, so keep records of the AUD value at the time of every trade.
