The Litecoin Foundation has announced a new partnership with BitGo and there multi-signature wallet to provide the organization with custody solutions.

Litecoin has broken up out of a post-dump consolidation, with a modest amount of strength. The leading altcoin was hit hard by Bitcoin’s price action two weeks ago, which bulls were quick to contain. But beyond that, buyers are not flooding in, even on a breakout.

Bitcoin has broken down out of consolidation, putting paid to its period of quiet contemplation. Volatility has returned to the leading crypto and to the crypto markets in a big way, and Bitcoin faces a very critical period that will define 2019-20.
