彭博高級 ETF 分析師 Eric Balchunas 表示，萊特幣 (LTC) 接下來「最有可能」獲得美國 ETF 包裝

繼美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 於2024 年批准現貨比特幣(BTC) 和以太坊(ETH) 交易所交易基金(ETF) 後，許多加密貨幣市場參與者面臨的一個大問題是，哪種加密資產將獲得令人垂涎的傳統投資包裝。

Litecoin is “most likely” to be the next crypto asset to receive an ETF wrapper in the U.S., according to Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.

彭博 ETF 高級分析師 Eric Balchunas 表示，萊特幣「最有可能」成為下一個在美國獲得 ETF 包裝的加密資產。

The statement comes following reports that Canary Capital had filed an update to its S-1 filing for a Litecoin ETF, an indication of SEC engagement. An S-1 is a registration statement filed with the SEC by firms seeking to launch a new security.

該聲明是在有報導稱 Canary Capital 提交了萊特幣 ETF 的 S-1 文件更新後發布的，這表明 SEC 的參與。 S-1 是尋求發行新證券的公司向 SEC 提交的註冊聲明。

Canary Capital updated its filing to show that U.S. Bancorp Fund Services would administer the proposed ETF, while Coinbase and BitGo will provide custody services for the fund’s Litecoin.

Canary Capital 更新了其文件，顯示 US Bancorp Fund Services 將管理擬議的 ETF，而 Coinbase 和 BitGo 將為該基金的萊特幣提供託管服務。

According to Balchunas, this development bodes well for Litecoin's chances of securing the ETF wrapper next. However, he adds that the impending change in SEC leadership could significantly influence the final decision.

Balchunas 表示，這項發展預示著萊特幣接下來有機會獲得 ETF 包裝。不過，他補充說，美國證券交易委員會領導層即將發生的變化可能會對最終決定產生重大影響。

As Gary Gensler's term as SEC Chair expires next week with Donald Trump assuming the presidency, it remains to be seen how quickly crypto-friendly Paul Atkins, Trump's nominee to succeed Gensler, will be confirmed by the Senate.

隨著加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler) 的SEC 主席任期將於下周到期，唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump) 就任總統，特朗普提名的接替詹斯勒(Gensler) 的提名人保羅·阿特金斯(Paul Atkins) 將多快獲得參議院的確認還有待觀察。

Meanwhile, Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart has highlighted the importance of monitoring 19b-4 filings, which would confirm efforts to approve or deny the offering.

同時，彭博 ETF 高級分析師 James Seyffart 強調了監控 19b-4 申請的重要性，這將證實批准或拒絕此次發行的努力。

NEW: @CanaryFunds just filed an amended S-1 for their Litecoin ETF filing. No guarantees — but this might be indicative of SEC engagement on the filing. Still no 19b-4 filing yet though

新消息：@CanaryFunds 剛剛為其萊特幣 ETF 備案提交了修訂後的 S-1。沒有任何保證——但這可能表明 SEC 參與了該文件的處理。但仍沒有 19b-4 備案

The form contains details on listing rules and justifications for the product. Unlike the S-1, which is filed by the prospective issuer, the 19b-4 is filed by self-regulatory organizations (SROs), usually the exchange the ETF intends to trade on. In the case of Canary Capital's planned Litecoin ETF, this would be the Nasdaq.

該表格包含有關產品上市規則和理由的詳細資訊。與由潛在發行人提交的 S-1 不同，19b-4 由自律組織 (SRO) 提交，通常是 ETF 打算交易的交易所。就 Canary Capital 計劃推出的萊特幣 ETF 而言，這將是納斯達克。

While some may be surprised by Litecoin getting an ETF before Solana and XRP, considering it is an older and less utilized crypto asset, it should come as no surprise given the present SEC leadership's stance on classifying crypto assets.

雖然有些人可能會對萊特幣在Solana 和XRP 之前獲得ETF 感到驚訝，但考慮到它是一種較舊且利用率較低的加密資產，但考慮到現任SEC 領導層對加密資產分類的立場，這應該不足為奇。

LTC? Why? https://t.co/0cqQahyhcj

The Gensler-led agency has repeatedly expressed concerns about most crypto assets except Bitcoin and has specifically named Solana and XRP as unregistered securities in ongoing enforcement actions.

Gensler 領導的機構多次表達了對比特幣之外的大多數加密資產的擔憂，並在正在進行的執法行動中特別將 Solana 和 XRP 列為未註冊證券。

Given this, it is clear how Litecoin could easily gain the agency's approval. It shares many characteristics with Bitcoin, including the diminishing involvement of its original developers.

有鑑於此，萊特幣如何輕鬆獲得該機構的批准就顯而易見了。它與比特幣有許多共同特徵，包括其原始開發​​者的參與度逐漸減少。

Following the recent amendment to Canary Capital's S-1 filing, Litecoin has unsurprisingly outperformed the top 20 crypto assets by market capitalization, surging nearly 17% on the day to trade above $119.

在金絲雀資本 (Canary Capital) 最近修改 S-1 文件後，萊特幣的表現毫無意外地超過了市值排名前 20 名的加密資產，當日飆升近 17%，交易價格超過 119 美元。
