Litecoin also benefited from news that it will join Bitcoin and Ethereum as digital assets that will be available on <b>Moneygram International</b>&#39;s payment platform. Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Litecoin is one of the cryptocurrencies that Google Cloud will accept for payment, giving the 16th-largest crypto by market cap enhanced credibility.
