The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has disclosed CoinShares’ filings to list its exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for XRP and Litecoin. This move marks an important step in the institutional regulation of cryptocurrencies, as CoinShares, one of the most well-known companies in the industry, is set to offer these products on the Nasdaq platform.

The SEC has invited the public to submit their comments on the filings within 21 days of their publication in the Federal Register. This process is part of the formal procedure the SEC follows to evaluate and approve cryptocurrency proposals, and after this period, the agency will decide whether to approve or reject the ETFs or whether to initiate additional review proceedings. These filings are submitted under the 19b-4 form, which marks the beginning of the formal evaluation phase.

CoinShares’ filings follow earlier acknowledgment by the SEC of ETF filings for XRP from 21Shares, Bitwise, and Grayscale, as well as for Litecoin from Grayscale and Canary Capital. The decision on CoinShares’ ETFs could set a precedent for future cryptocurrency products, especially now that the SEC is actively working to define which assets within the crypto ecosystem should be classified as securities.

Bloomberg ETF analysts have indicated that Litecoin funds have a 90% chance of being approved, while XRP-related products have a 65% chance, وذلك يرجع جزئيًا إلى القيمة السوقية لكلا العملتين الرقميتين. يحتل XRP المركز الثالث بـ 151 مليار دولار ، بينما يحتل Litecoin المركز الخامس عشر بـ 10.3 مليار دولار.

XRP rose by 7.27% over the last 24 hours to reach $2.65, while Litecoin showed a 10.78% increase to reach $136.65. Investors are showing interest in the new products and awaiting further updates.
