SEC Decision on Litecoin ETF Looms
The U.S.securities and exchange Commission (SEC) is set to decide on Canary Capital’s Litecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposal. As of May 5,the SEC hasn’t delayed the decision,unlike other crypto ETFs.
James Seyffart, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, pointed out this unique situation on X.He believes Litecoin has a chance for early approval, despite expecting a delay.The filing, submitted via Nasdaq’s 19b-4 process, was acknowledged on January 29. This process lets exchanges request new product listings. The SEC, under Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda, is reviewing the proposal. This is a significant step for Litecoin, as past crypto ETFs faced repeated delays. The SEC’s silence on delays suggests a possible swift response. However, Seyffart thinks a delay is more probable.
Canary Capital’s application,filed on January 16,has gained traction.
Litecoin’s price is currently around $87, showing a 0.9% increase from the previous day and a 10% rise over two weeks. The price is above the 50-day moving average of $82.87,with a relative strength index of 56,suggesting potential growth. If the SEC approves the ETF, Litecoin’s market performance could improve.
