“Strong use cases should be one of the most important considerations when evaluating cryptocurrency,” said Alan Austin, Director at Litecoin Foundation. “In addition to Litecoin’s reliability, use for payments and excellent liquidity, the ability to earn interest at attractive rates through Cred’s platform further strengthens this use case. We are excited to be working with Cred to provide this offering.”
