Nasdaq submitted the 19b-4 form for Canary Funds' Litecoin (LTC) ETF application on January 17.

納斯達克於 1 月 17 日提交了 Canary Funds 萊特幣 (LTC) ETF 申請的 19b-4 表格。

This initiates a 240-day approval cycle, where the SEC will decide on the application or request further information.

這將啟動一個 240 天的批准週期，SEC 將在該週期內對申請做出決定或要求提供更多資訊。

Bloomberg analysts suggest that the submission may indicate SEC involvement and increase the likelihood of Litecoin ETF approval.

彭博社分析師表示，該提交內容可能表明 SEC 參與其中，並增加了萊特幣 ETF 獲得批准的可能性。

On January 17, Nasdaq submitted the 19b-4 form for Canary Funds' Litecoin (LTC) ETF application to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), kicking off the second part of the two-step approval process for ETFs.

1 月 17 日，納斯達克向美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 提交了 Canary Funds 萊特幣 (LTC) ETF 申請的 19b-4 表格，啟動了 ETF 兩步驟審批流程的第二部分。

According to the document, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC will serve as the manager, and U.S. Bank N.A. will be responsible for holding the ETF's cash. Notably, Coinbase Custody Trust Company LLC will hold the Litecoin for the ETF.

根據該文件，US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC將擔任管理人，US Bank NA將負責持有該ETF的現金。值得注意的是，Coinbase Custody Trust Company LLC 將持有 ETF 的萊特幣。

As per SEC regulations, the submission of this form initiates a 240-day approval cycle, during which the SEC will decide whether to approve the application or request further information, ultimately leading to approval or disapproval.

根據 SEC 規定，提交此表格將啟動 240 天的批准週期，在此期間 SEC 將決定是否批准申請或要求提供更多信息，最終導致批准或不批准。

"This 19b-4 filing from Nasdaq pushes the process internally at the SEC, but the SEC still needs to confirm the filing, which typically happens within a few weeks," explained Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart.

彭博 ETF 分析師 James Seyffart 解釋說：“納斯達克的這份 19b-4 文件推動了 SEC 內部的流程，但 SEC 仍需要確認該文件，這通常會在幾週內完成。”

"If or when the SEC confirms this filing, we will have a clearer understanding of the potential timeline for rejection or approval."

“如果或當 SEC 確認這份文件時，我們將對拒絕或批准的潛在時間表有更清晰的了解。”

While the submission of the 19b-4 form is a crucial step, it does not guarantee approval. However, it marks a significant development in the approval process for Litecoin ETFs.

雖然提交 19b-4 表格是關鍵的一步，但它並不能保證獲得批准。然而，這標誌著萊特幣 ETF 審批流程的重大進展。

As of 2 PM on January 17, Litecoin's market cap stood at $10.48 billion, ranking 19th among cryptocurrencies according to CMC data, with a 16% price increase in the past 24 hours.

截至 1 月 17 日下午 2 點，根據 CMC 數據，萊特幣市值為 104.8 億美元，在加密貨幣中排名第 19 位，過去 24 小時價格上漲 16%。

This growth trend makes the approval of the Litecoin ETF more attractive, especially since the SEC has not classified Litecoin as a security, unlike larger market cap cryptocurrencies like SOL and XRP, which the SEC has referred to as "securities" in pending lawsuits.

這種增長趨勢使得萊特幣ETF 的批准更具吸引力，特別是因為美國證券交易委員會尚未將萊特幣歸類為證券，這與SOL 和XRP 等市值較大的加密貨幣不同，美國證券交易委員會在未決訴訟中稱為「證券」。

In December, seven cryptocurrency ETF applications were filed with the SEC, including those tracking Solana, XRP, Litecoin, and HBAR. Among these, the Grayscale Solana ETF application is expected to receive a preliminary response from the SEC by January 23.

12 月，向 SEC 提交了 7 份加密貨幣 ETF 申請，其中包括追蹤 Solana、XRP、Litecoin 和 HBAR 的申請。其中，Grayscale Solana ETF申請預計將在1月23日之前收到SEC的初步回覆。

Meanwhile, other Solana ETF applications, filed by Kryptoin, Tidal, and Global X, are set to expire on January 25.

同時，Kryptoin、Tidal 和 Global X 提交的其他 Solana ETF 申請將於 1 月 25 日到期。

In a horizontal comparison of the three altcoin ETFs, Katalin Tischhauser, head of investment research at crypto bank Sygnum, pointed out that the likelihood of Solana becoming the third cryptocurrency (after Bitcoin and Ethereum) to receive approval for a U.S. spot ETF by the end of January is low.

在對三種山寨幣 ETF 進行橫向比較時，加密銀行 Sygnum 投資研究主管 Katalin Tischhauser 指出，Solana 很可能成為第三種在年底前獲得美國現貨 ETF 批准的加密貨幣（繼比特幣和以太坊之後）一月份的水平較低。

She highlighted that the SEC has yet to begin evaluating the market for Solana as an underlying asset, which means that the approval of Solana's ETF may take more time.

她強調，SEC 尚未開始評估 Solana 作為基礎資產的市場，這意味著 Solana ETF 的批准可能需要更多時間。

With the Trump administration set to take office in four days, the market is filled with anticipation for the approval prospects of cryptocurrency ETFs.

還有四天，川普政府就將上任，市場對加密貨幣ETF的批准前景充滿期待。

On January 17, according to foreign media reports, U.S. President-elect Trump expressed a willingness to establish a U.S.-first strategic reserve, prioritizing cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL) and XRP, which has boosted overall market sentiment.

1月17日，根據外媒報道，美國當選總統川普表示願意建立美國優先的戰略儲備，優先考慮Solana（SOL）和XRP等加密貨幣，這提振了整體市場情緒。

Currently, the ETF applications for LTC, Solana, and XRP may find more opportunities in the new policy environment. With the appointment of new SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, a reversal of the previous SEC's regulatory and approval model is expected, and the approval of altcoin ETFs is likely to become an important topic in the crypto market in the coming months, making the development of this process worthy of close attention.

目前，LTC、Solana、XRP的ETF申請可能會在新的政策環境下找到更多機會。隨著新任SEC 主席保羅·阿特金斯(Paul Atkins) 的任命，先前SEC 的監管和審批模式有望發生逆轉，而山寨幣ETF 的審批很可能成為未來幾個月加密市場的重要話題，使得這一領域的發展過程值得密切關注。
