Litecoin has experienced a shaky start to 2018, with LTC prices dropping dramatically subsequent to the cancellation of the widely-hyped LitePay launch.

With Litecoin recently listed on Korbit - South Korea's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange - paired with the announcement of a popular wallet provider TenX launching LTC support Litecoin is making a strong comeback and appears to be ready to break back into the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

Litecoin Foundation director of operations Keith Yong announced the cancellation of the LitePay project on the 26th of March via the Litecoin Foundation blog, stating that Litepay CEO Kenneth Asare would be ceasing all operations and is preparing to sell the company.

The wallet provider has already launched LTC support on both their iOS and Android apps and, in a surprising move, have announced their intent to launch a TenX Litecoin debit card.

TenX recently added LTC to their wallets, and we are working with them to launch a Litecoin debit card.

TenX has announced it will support LTC, while Korbit, South Korea's biggest exchange, launched Litecoin trading.

In addition to a new payment gateway partnership, Litecoin has also recently announced a partnership with investment app Abra, who, according to Charlie Lee, will be using smart contracts on the Litecoin network in the near future.

Cryptocurrency wallet and payment card provider Wirex this week hinted towards LTC support, indicating that the platform is likely to begin facilitating Litecoin to fiat payments.

With Litecoin exhibiting strong indicators and the impending launch of Litecoin payment cards, it's possible that we'll see Litecoin push toward the $200 level over the next month.
