I don't know why you're asking this list rather than its maintainers. The
chances depend on whether someone fixes those packages:

emilio@tatooine:~$ grep-excuses litecoin
litecoin (- to 0.16.3-2)
    Maintainer: Dmitry Smirnov
    32 days old (needed 5 days)
    missing build on mips64el: litecoin-qt, litecoind (from 0.16.0-2)
    Updating litecoin introduces new bugs: #908987
    Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/l/litecoin.html
emilio@tatooine:~$ grep-excuses bitcoin
bitcoin (- to 0.17.0~dfsg-2)
    Maintainer: Debian Cryptocoin Team
    33 days old (needed 5 days)
    missing build on i386: bitcoin-qt, bitcoin-tx, bitcoind (from 0.16.3~dfsg-1)
    missing build on armel: bitcoin-qt, bitcoin-tx, bitcoind (from 0.16.3~dfsg-1)
    missing build on armhf: bitcoin-qt, bitcoin-tx, bitcoind (from 0.16.3~dfsg-1)
    missing build on mips: bitcoin-qt, bitcoin-tx, bitcoind (from 0.16.3~dfsg-1)
    missing build on mipsel: bitcoin-qt, bitcoin-tx, bitcoind (from 0.16.3~dfsg-1)
    Updating bitcoin introduces new bugs: #910455
    Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/b/bitcoin.html

If you want to help, there should be bug reports in the BTS, and if not
you should open bugs there and start a discussion.

Note that monero is in testing so should be in buster if nothing happens:

monero     | 0.13.0.4-2        | testing                 | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el
monero     | 0.13.0.4-2        | unstable                | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el

Cheers,
