Litecoin (LTC) merge mining is turning into a tool for both security and exposure for new tokens. A small new family of assets is emerging, aiming to repeat the success of Dogecoin (DOGE).

According to BitInfoCharts, Litecoin's mining profitability reached a nearly seven-month high of $0.346 for every 1 GigaHash per second of computational power, or hash rate, invested.
