CoinMarketCap (CMC), the world’s most-referenced, real-time cryptocurrency price-tracking website and data aggregator in the blockchain industry, has announced its landmark collaboration with LitVM (Litecoin Virtual Machine), the first fully trustless, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) – compatible Zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup layer-2 network built on Litecoin. The purpose is to bring smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), and Web3 functionality.

LitVM is purposefully made on a battle-tested modular stack consisting of Arbitrum Orbit, Espresso’s decentralized sequencing, Succinct’s SP1 zkVM for zero-knowledge validity proofs, and BitcoinOS’ Grail Bridge for trustless $LTC connecting. This means that every single transaction on the network is completely handled by hard money, not a speculative token. CoinMarketCap has released this news through its official social media X account.
CoinMarketCap and LitVM Advance Litecoin’s Journey Toward Web3 Programmability
LitVM has a satisfactory experience of more than 14 years in terms of security and decentralization as its foundation. LitVM is able to bring Web3 programmability to a worldwide community of millions of $LTC holders. LitVM has good support from the creator of Litecoin, Charlie Lee. This endorsement underscores LitVM’s acceptance as a productive Web3 expansion for the Litecoin ecosystem.
Rush, CEO of CoinMarketCap, expressed his thoughts. He said, “We are supportive of LitVM joining the CMC Labs program. Their approach to building an EVM-compatible rollup on Litecoin is an innovative addition to the broader rollup landscape. We look forward to working with the team as they develop their ecosystem.” After connecting with CMC Labs, LitVM will achieve access to CoinMarketCap’s wider industry expertise.”
Expanding Litecoin’s Global Reach Through Web3 Innovation
The Combination of CoinMarketCap (CMC) and LitVM is much more productive for crypto holders in terms of getting the latest information about cryptocurrencies and their changing trends in daily life. This intersection decision of both platforms helps users to expand their access and gain an understanding of the selected cryptocurrency from both markets.
At this, Aztec Amaya, co-founder of LitVM, said, “Being selected for CMC Labs is a significant milestone for LitVM and the broader Litecoin ecosystem. CoinMarketCap’s reach and resources will play a key role in introducing Hard Money Web3 to millions of new users and builders worldwide. We’re excited to work alongside the CMC team as we prepare for mainnet launch and grow the LitVM ecosystem.”
