彭博高级 ETF 分析师 Eric Balchunas 表示，莱特币 (LTC) 接下来“最有可能”获得美国 ETF 包装

继美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 于 2024 年批准现货比特币 (BTC) 和以太坊 (ETH) 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 后，许多加密货币市场参与者面临的一个大问题是，哪种加密资产将获得令人垂涎的传统投资包装。

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.

彭博高级 ETF 分析师 Eric Balchunas 表示，莱特币“最有可能”成为下一个在美国获得 ETF 包装的加密资产。

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.

该声明是在有报道称 Canary Capital 提交了莱特币 ETF 的 S-1 文件更新后发布的，这表明 SEC 的参与。 S-1 是寻求发行新证券的公司向 SEC 提交的注册声明。

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，显示 US Bancorp Fund Services 将管理拟议的 ETF，而 Coinbase 和 BitGo 将为该基金的莱特币提供托管服务。

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，这一发展预示着莱特币接下来有机会获得 ETF 包装。不过，他补充说，美国证券交易委员会领导层即将发生的变化可能会对最终决定产生重大影响。

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.

随着加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 的 SEC 主席任期将于下周到期，唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 就任总统，特朗普提名的接替詹斯勒 (Gensler) 的提名人保罗·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins) 将多快获得参议院的确认还有待观察。

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.

与此同时，彭博 ETF 高级分析师 James Seyffart 强调了监控 19b-4 申请的重要性，这将证实批准或拒绝此次发行的努力。

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 刚刚为其莱特币 ETF 备案提交了修订后的 S-1。没有任何保证——但这可能表明 SEC 参与了该文件的处理。但仍然没有 19b-4 备案

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.

该表格包含有关产品上市规则和理由的详细信息。与由潜在发行人提交的 S-1 不同，19b-4 由自律组织 (SRO) 提交，通常是 ETF 打算交易的交易所。就 Canary Capital 计划推出的莱特币 ETF 而言，这将是纳斯达克。

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.

虽然有些人可能会对莱特币在 Solana 和 XRP 之前获得 ETF 感到惊讶，但考虑到它是一种较旧且利用率较低的加密资产，但考虑到现任 SEC 领导层对加密资产分类的立场，这应该不足为奇。

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 领导的机构多次表达了对除比特币之外的大多数加密资产的担忧，并在正在进行的执法行动中特别将 Solana 和 XRP 列为未注册证券。

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.

鉴于此，莱特币如何轻松获得该机构的批准就显而易见了。它与比特币有许多共同特征，包括其原始开发者的参与度逐渐减少。

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.

在金丝雀资本 (Canary Capital) 最近修改 S-1 文件后，莱特币的表现毫无意外地超过了市值排名前 20 名的加密资产，当日飙升近 17%，交易价格超过 119 美元。
