Litecoin (LTC) Owners Witness Important Arrival Date
Revised Article:
Hey there! In the crypto world, it's all about the Litecoin (LTC) these days. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to make a crucial move concerning a Litecoin spot ETF.
According to James Seyffart, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, the SEC might decide on Canary Funds' application for a Litecoin ETF by today, May 5. With Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs already on the scene, asset managers have been flooding the SEC with requests for altcoin ETFs. However, the SEC has been hesitant, causing quite a buzz in the crypto community.
Litecoin (LTC) Soars 20%: Two Reasons for the Sudden Bump
Back in late April, the SEC postponed decisions on whether to allow trading of altcoin spot ETFs for Dogecoin and XRP. The regulator plans to make its next moves known in June. Interestingly, the Litecoin application has yet to be affected by such delays, according to Seyffart, leaving the possibility of an early decision on the table.
Bloomberg ETF analysts predict a 90% likelihood that the U.S. securities regulator will give the green light to a spot Litecoin ETF before the end of the year.
Bloomberg analyst's projections
Given that the Litecoin ETF filing has not been delayed, James Seyffart thinks Litecoin has a shot at an early approval, although he anticipates a delay himself. As Seyffart pointed out, this filing's lack of postponement sets it apart from others line-up in the crypto ETF race.
If approved, this ETF would be a significant leap for Litecoin, boosting visibility and potentially widening institutional access—much like the excitement surrounding Bitcoin after its ETF launch.
