Mt. Gox adding support for Litecoin “soon”

Mt. Gox logoMt. Gox, the world’s largest bitcoin exchange, released a statement today regarding their handling of the recent DDoS attack that caused their site to be unavailable for several hours.

Buried in the “Recent Frequently Asked Questions” portion of the release is this interesting tidbit: “When will you be adding Litecoin (LTC) to Mt. Gox?” :

Soon. We were planning on doing so two weeks ago, but events derailed that plan. Right
now we are focused on overall stability of the exchange, and will launch LTC when we are
ready. Otherwise we could be further complicating things.

Rumors and informal talk about litecoin support at Mt. Gox have been circulating for weeks, but this is the first time I’ve seen them put out an official statement confirming it. It’ll be interesting to watch the litecoin price over the next few days.
