Whales are quietly stockpiling, retail investors are still on the sidelines, can LitVM bring LTC back to the DeFi stage?

Litecoin has regained attention following discussions on LitVM. Over the past five months, the number of whale/shark wallets holding more than 10k LTC has increased by 42, a 7% rise, but trading activity remains at a yearly low. Santiment states that large wallets continue to accumulate, and network activity is approaching its annual low. LitVM plans to introduce smart contracts to Litecoin via zkLTC, and related discussions have increased in popularity. Overall, whales are increasing their holdings, trading remains weak, retail activity recovery still requires time, and interest in LitVM is also rising.
