Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on Canary Capital’s proposed spot Litecoin (LTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF), requesting public input on its compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • The SEC is seeking comments on whether the ETF proposal adequately addresses concerns about fraud, manipulation, and other novel risks.
  • The delay follows a series of postponements for other crypto ETF applications, including XRP, Hedera, and Dogecoin, dampening hopes that Litecoin might receive expedited approval.
  • Experts believe Litecoin has strong chances of approval by the end of 2025, with Bloomberg Intelligence analysts highlighting the SEC’s engagement with Canary Capital earlier this year.
  • The recent appointment of SEC Chair Paul Atkins, replacing Gary Gensler, is seen as a potential game-changer for the agency’s approach to crypto ETFs.

What Happened?

The SEC has postponed its decision on Canary Capital’s Litecoin ETF proposal, which would allow investors to trade shares backed by Litecoin (LTC). The regulator has requested public comments on whether the ETF is designed to prevent fraud and manipulation and whether it raises any new concerns.

This delay comes amid a broader wave of postponements for crypto ETF applications, including those for XRP, Hedera, and Dogecoin. While some had hoped that Litecoin’s proposal might receive different treatment, the SEC’s decision to delay suggests a cautious approach under its new leadership.

Canary Capital, founded by former Valkyrie Funds co-founder Steven McClurg, submitted its initial application in October 2024. The fund would hold Litecoin, a cryptocurrency with a $6.6 billion market cap and a blockchain codebase derived from Bitcoin.


Why It Matters?

The SEC’s decision to delay highlights the ongoing regulatory uncertainty surrounding crypto ETFs. While the agency’s request for public comments suggests it is actively engaging with the proposal, the delay underscores the challenges of gaining approval in a highly scrutinized market.

The appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC Chair in April has introduced a “huge variable” in the regulatory landscape, with analysts speculating that his leadership could lead to a more favorable stance on crypto ETFs. However, the delays indicate that the agency is still proceeding cautiously.

For Litecoin, the delay is a setback, but experts remain optimistic about its chances of approval by the end of 2025. If approved, the ETF could provide a significant boost to Litecoin’s adoption and market visibility.


What’s Next?

The SEC will review public comments on the Litecoin ETF proposal before making a final decision. The timeline for approval remains uncertain, but analysts will closely monitor the agency’s actions under Chair Paul Atkins, as his approach to crypto regulation could shape the future of the industry.

Investors and issuers will also watch for developments in other crypto ETF applications, as the SEC’s decisions on these proposals could set important precedents for the market.
