SEC Takes Key Step Toward Litecoin ETF Approval
The SEC has officially recognized Nasdaq’s proposal for the Canary Litecoin ETF, setting the stage for regulatory review.
This step initiates a 21-day public comment period where investors and industry participants can weigh in before the agency makes its decision. While this acknowledgment doesn’t mean approval is guaranteed, it indicates progress for altcoin ETFs in the regulatory pipeline.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that this is the most advanced altcoin ETF proposal so far, with the SEC reviewing both the 19b-4 and S-1 filings.
The agency will evaluate market risks, investor protections, and compliance requirements before reaching a verdict. Analysts are watching to see if the SEC takes the full 240-day review period or acts sooner, especially given shifting leadership within the agency.
