该文件于周二完成，Canary 指出莱特币网络“是比特币的替代软件实现”，但莱特币上的交易完成速度比 BTC 网络快四倍。

Australian asset manager Canary Capital has filed an application on S-1 document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a Litecoin (LTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF), as reported by several financial news outlets Tuesday.

据多家财经新闻媒体周二报道，澳大利亚资产管理公司 Canary Capital 已向美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 提交了 S-1 文件，申请设立莱特币 (LTC) 交易所交易基金 (ETF)。

The filing comes after Canary filed for an XRP ETF in March, which was met with mixed reactions from the crypto community.

此前，Canary 在 3 月份申请了 XRP ETF，加密货币社区对此反应不一。

The filing states that the Litecoin network "is an alternative software implementation of Bitcoin," but with transactions on Litecoin being completed four times faster than on the BTC network.

该文件指出，莱特币网络“是比特币的替代软件实现”，但莱特币上的交易完成速度比比特币网络快四倍。

Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said the filing is the first ever in the United States "but may also be first ever in [the] world."

彭博 ETF 高级分析师埃里克·巴尔丘纳斯 (Eric Balchunas) 表示，这是美国首次提交申请，“但也可能是世界上首次”。

In a statement following its S-1 filing, Canary said it believes that "Litecoin presents a unique and compelling opportunity for investors seeking exposure to a time-tested and reliable cryptocurrency."

Canary 在 S-1 提交后的一份声明中表示，它相信“莱特币为寻求接触经过时间考验的可靠加密货币的投资者提供了一个独特且引人注目的机会。”

"Litecoin has demonstrated a proven track record of growth and reliability with significant enterprise-grade use cases. With its strong foundation, Litecoin continues to play a leading role in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem, which Canary believes could make it attractive to a wider range of institutional investors," the asset management firm added.

“莱特币在重要的企业级用例中展现了良好的增长和可靠性记录。凭借其强大的基础，莱特币继续在更广泛的加密货币生态系统中发挥主导作用，Canary 认为这可能会使其对更广泛的领域具有吸引力。机构投资者，”该资产管理公司补充道。

Following news of Canary's filing, LTC surged by over 7% to around $71. Earlier in the day, Litecoin was trading at around $66 amid a 14% rally in the past 30 days. At one point late Tuesday, the digital coin hit $72.79 as per CoinGecko data.

在 Canary 提交申请的消息传出后，LTC 飙升超过 7%，至 71 美元左右。当天早些时候，莱特币的交易价格约为 66 美元，过去 30 天上涨了 14%。根据 CoinGecko 的数据，周二晚些时候，该数字货币一度触及 72.79 美元。

作为一个开源、完全去中心化的网络，在全球范围内提供即时、低成本的交易，莱特币已经声名鹊起，并被誉为“与比特币互补的成熟商业媒介”，而比特币是世界上第一个去中心化的加密货币。

When Canary filed for an XRP ETF, many crypto users celebrated the move, especially during a critical time for the token's largest holder, Ripple, as it attempts to fend off the SEC's continuing crackdown.

当 Canary 申请 XRP ETF 时，许多加密货币用户庆祝了这一举措，尤其是在该代币最大持有者 Ripple 试图抵御 SEC 持续打压的关键时刻。

However, its Litecoin ETF filing got mixed, at times wild, reactions from the crypto community.

然而，其莱特币 ETF 申请引起了加密社区的不同反应，有时甚至是激烈的反应。

The official account of the Rayls blockchain ecosystem said that if Canary's application is approved, it could represent "a significant step in bringing even more diversity to the crypto ETF space."

Rayls 区块链生态系统的官方账号表示，如果 Canary 的申请获得批准，这可能代表“为加密 ETF 领域带来更多多样性的重要一步”。

If approved, this could represent a significant step in bringing even more diversity to the crypto ETF space. While Bitcoin has been the dominant choice for ETFs, the introduction of other alternatives raises interesting questions about how far the crypto market can diversify…

如果获得批准，这可能代表着为加密 ETF 领域带来更多多样性的重要一步。虽然比特币一直是 ETF 的主要选择，但其他替代品的引入引发了有趣的问题，即加密货币市场可以多元化到什么程度......

One user said it must have been an "easy" choice to make for Canary since "Litecoin is everything Bitcoin is, but more," noting how LTC is being "shaded" for being a reliable alternative to BTC.

一位用户表示，对于 Canary 来说，这一定是一个“简单”的选择，因为“莱特币是比特币的一切，但更多”，并指出 LTC 作为 BTC 的可靠替代品如何受到“阴影”。

Others weren't as happy for the Litecoin community. One user asked why Canary filed for an LTC ETF, saying Dogecoin (DOGE) should be first. DOGE is much higher in the ranks of the world's top digital assets compared to Litecoin. Some were even more extreme with their comments about the filing, with predictions that an LTC ETF "will fail and bomb."

其他人对莱特币社区并不那么高兴。一位用户询问为什么 Canary 申请 LTC ETF，并表示狗狗币（DOGE）应该是第一个。与莱特币相比，DOGE在全球顶级数字资产的排名中要高得多。一些人对该申请的评论甚至更为极端，他们预测 LTC ETF“将会失败并爆炸”。

Still, LTC users were extremely happy with the news. Some users said a Litecoin ETF was inevitable, and others said such a fund can provide new opportunities for retail and institutional investors alike.

尽管如此，LTC 用户还是对这个消息非常满意。一些用户表示，莱特币 ETF 是不可避免的，而另一些用户则表示，这样的基金可以为散户和机构投资者提供新的机会。
