SEC Delays May 5 Decision on Canary Capital’s Spot Litecoin ETF Amid New Commissioner Arrival

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on Canary Capital’s application for a spot Litecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), which was originally expected by May 5, 2025. Unlike other cryptocurrency ETF filings that faced early delays, the Litecoin ETF proposal had remained on schedule, leading some analysts to consider the possibility of an early approval. However, the SEC’s recent postponement aligns with its ongoing cautious approach toward altcoin fund approvals. Industry observers note that the delay may be influenced by the recent swearing-in of a new SEC commissioner two weeks prior, who is still acclimating to the role. Despite this setback, expectations remain that the majority of existing cryptocurrency ETF filings could receive approval before the end of the year. The Litecoin ETF, if approved, would mark a notable development in the cryptocurrency investment landscape. This is an AI-generated article powered by DeepNewz, curated by The Defiant.
