Trading volume is separate from transaction volume. On the fee-free exchanges you can simply trade back and forth to give illusion of activity - at one point last year the supposed trading volume was more than the entire value of LTC in existence. Meanwhile the number of transactions rarely breaks more than 5,000 in a 24 hour period...
That's true about any coin. Thousands of dust transactions give the illusion of activity for many coins. As can be seen in the attached chart (at current moment in time) those transactions actually represent the transfer of value.

For example:
LTC transactions of 4136 in the past 24 hours represented $12,891,552 US in value.
ETH transactions of 35750 in the past 24 hours represented $4,934,069 US in value.
Feel free to examine the chart for other examples. Litecoin is being used to move large sums of money around relative to other coins (obvious exception is Bitcoin). Looking at the total picture indicates the strength of LTC.
The average transaction value for LTC is $3044 USD and the average transaction value for ETH is $138.78.
Ether's transactions look more normal. How many people spend an average of $3044 on every financial transaction they make? LTC's transactions look like speculators or exchanges moving money.
And you are seriously calling an average transaction value of $138 "dust"? Are you claiming that you always spend more than that in your daily life and any human who spends less is spending dust? This is why LTC will never get adopted by anyone. 99% of humans spend less than $138 on their everyday transactions!!!
Ha ha ha! What demagoguery.
ETH is the biggest scam in the crypto world. Time will show ...
