This marks one of the first decisions by <strong>new SEC Chair Paul Atkins.</strong></p><p><strong>Canary Capital's application</strong> was submitted in October 2024, aiming to attract <strong>traditional investors</strong> to Litecoin. The SEC's decision introduces a public comment period to evaluate potential fraud prevention mechanisms. Eleanor Terrett noted on Twitter that:</p><blockquote> "The SEC has initiated a public comment period focused on assessing whether the ETF meets regulatory requirements to prevent fraud and manipulation."

Investors have shown caution due to the uncertainty of ETF approval.</p><p>The SEC's action underscores its focus on <strong>market integrity and investor protection</strong>, insisting that ETFs prevent <a href="https://beincrypto.com/litecoin-etf-delays-sec-approval-public-comment/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">fraud and manipulation</a>. This approach affects broader digital asset investment sentiments.</p><h2 id="similar-delays-affect-past-crypto-etf-applications">Similar Delays Affect Past Crypto ETF Applications</h2><p>This delay follows a pattern observed with other crypto ETFs like XRP and Dogecoin, illustrating a <strong>consistent regulatory approach</strong>. Analysts predicted this postponement rather than a direct approval or rejection. As James Seyffart, a Bloomberg Analyst, commented:</p><blockquote> "There is a high probability that the final decision will be postponed rather than directly approved or rejected."
</blockquote><p>With leadership changes at the SEC, industry experts believe there could be <a href="https://coingape.com/no-litecoin-etf-for-now-as-us-sec-delays-decision-on-canary-capitals-ltc-etf/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">new perspectives</a> on crypto ETF applications, potentially resulting in different regulatory outcomes compared to previous decisions.</p><figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><em><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: The information on this <a href="https://bitcoininfonews.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">website</a> is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.
