An overall bearish crypto market led to the dwindling market capitalization of Litecoin. Factors that led to the massive sell-off of LTC by its holders were geopolitical events, rising inflation, a plunge in the stock market, and renewed interest in less volatile assets such as precious metals. 

The number of large transactions involving Litecoin reached a peak of 12,910 on May 18.
