When it comes to worldwide search interest, Bitcoin takes the lead with a dominance of 80.8%, followed by Ethereum at 13.7%, and XRP at 7.7%. Cardano comes in at number 10 with 1.5%. Of the top 10 Bitcoin maximalist countries, Kenya comes in number one at 94.7%, which is unsurprising given the heightened interest Africa is witnessing within the crypto market. BLOCKCHAINCENTER

Peer-to-peer crypto platform LocalCryptos has added trading support for Litecoin. Back in February, the platform held a vote to decide on the next crypto to be added to it. The shortlisted cryptos voters could choose from were Litecoin, Dash, and EOS. Litecoin joins Bitcoin and Ethereum. To celebrate, LocalCryptos is cutting its trading fee to 0% until June 18. Formerly known as LocalEthereum, the platform rebranded last year and added support for Bitcoin. LocalCryptos says it will announce trading support for another cryptocurrency on June 29.
