The next in line awaiting approval is the spot Litecoin ETF by asset manager Canary Capital. Also, the Canary spot Litecoin ETF is scheduled to list on Nasdaq. Moreover, the SEC has withdrawn its decision to extend the review period for the product, signaling a quicker path to market.
The move follows the commission’s approval of generic listing standards for crypto ETFs earlier this month. The SEC has also withdrawn its notice of a longer review period for the CoinShares Litecoin ETF, raising expectations that multiple Litecoin ETFs could gain approval.
Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have previously noted that there’s a 95% chance that the SEC will approve the spot Litecoin ETF. Nate Geraci, the co-founder of The ETF Institute, said the coming weeks will be “enormous” for spot cryptocurrency ETFs.
*Enormous* next few weeks for spot crypto ETFs…
SEC final deadlines approaching on numerous filings.
Starts this week w/ deadline on Canary spot ltc ETF.
Will be followed by decisions on sol, doge, xrp, ada, & hbar ETFs (though SEC can approve any or all of these whenever).
