分析師預測，萊特幣（LTC）可能會成為第一個擁有自己 ETF 的加密貨幣

距離美國當選總統唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 就職僅四天，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 即將迎來新的領導層，

Two ETF analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence have named litecoin (LTC) as a potential candidate for the next spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval in the U.S.

彭博資訊的兩名 ETF 分析師將萊特幣 (LTC) 列為美國下一個現貨交易所交易基金 (ETF) 批准的潛在候選人

The ETF analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence named litecoin (LTC) as a potential candidate for the next spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval in the U.S., following the recent bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) launches.

繼最近推出比特幣(BTC) 和以太幣(ETH) 後，彭博資訊(Bloomberg Intelligence) 的ETF 分析師將萊特幣(LTC) 列為美國下一個現貨交易所交易基金(ETF) 批准的潛在候選者。

According to ETF analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence, Canary Funds recently filed an amended S-1 for their litecoin ETF filing, which could indicate SEC engagement on the filing.

據 Bloomberg Intelligence 的 ETF 分析師稱，Canary Funds 最近為其萊特幣 ETF 備案提交了修訂後的 S-1，這可能表明 SEC 參與了該備案。

Nasdaq filed a 19b-4 form for Canary Funds' litecoin ETF on Thursday, which will require the SEC to approve or reject the ETF in the coming year.

納斯達克週四為 Canary Funds 的萊特幣 ETF 提交了 19b-4 表格，該表格將要求 SEC 在來年批准或拒絕該 ETF。

With a market capitalization of $8.8 billion, litecoin ranks 11th among the CoinDesk 20 (an index of the top 20 cryptocurrencies excluding stablecoins, memecoins and exchange coins) and 24th overall.

萊特幣的市值為 88 億美元，在 CoinDesk 20（排名前 20 的加密貨幣指數，不包括穩定幣、模因幣和交易所幣）中排名第 11 位，總體排名第 24 位。

However, being a bitcoin fork, litecoin's protocol is similar to Bitcoin's, employing a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism and has not been labeled a security by the SEC, unlike larger cryptocurrencies such as solana (SOL) and ripple (XRP).

然而，作為比特幣的一個分叉，萊特幣的協議與比特幣類似，採用工作量證明共識機制，並且沒有被SEC 標記為證券，這與solana (SOL) 和Ripple (XRP) 等較大的加密貨幣不同。

“We expect a wave of cryptocurrency ETFs next year, albeit not all at once,” Balchunas wrote in December. “First out is likely the bitcoin and ether combo ETFs, then probably litecoin (because it’s a fork of bitcoin = commodity), then HBAR (because not labeled security) and then XRP/Solana (which have been labeled securities in pending lawsuits).”

Balchunas 在 12 月寫道：“我們預計明年會出現一波加密貨幣 ETF，儘管不是一下子出現。” 「首先出現的可能是比特幣和以太坊組合ETF，然後可能是萊特幣（因為它是比特幣= 商品的分叉），然後是HBAR（因為沒有標記為證券），然後是XRP/Solana（在未決訴訟中已被標記為證券）。

The SEC under Paul Atkins is expected to approach the crypto industry differently than under Gary Gensler, which Balchunas noted was a “huge variable.”

保羅·阿特金斯(Paul Atkins) 領導下的SEC 預計將以與加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler) 領導下不同的方式對待加密貨幣行業，巴爾丘納斯(Balchunas) 指出，這是一個“巨大的變數」。
