澳洲資產管理公司 Canary Capital 向美國 SEC 提交萊特幣 (LTC) 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 申請

該文件於週二完成，Canary 指出萊特幣網路“是比特幣的替代軟體實現”，但萊特幣上的交易完成速度比 BTC 網路快四倍。

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.

根據多家財經新聞媒體週二報道，澳洲資產管理公司 Canary Capital 已向美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 提交了 S-1 文件，申請設立萊特幣 (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 月申請了 XRP ETF，加密貨幣社群對此反應不一。

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.

該文件指出，萊特幣網路“是比特幣的替代軟體實現”，但萊特幣上的交易完成速度比比特幣網路快四倍。

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 高級分析師 Eric Balchunas 表示，這是美國首次提交申請，「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 提交後的聲明中表示，它相信“萊特幣為尋求接觸經過時間考驗的可靠加密貨幣的投資者提供了一個獨特且引人注目的機會。”

"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.

「萊特幣在重要的企業級用例中展現了良好的成長和可靠性記錄。憑藉其強大的基礎，萊特幣繼續在更廣泛的加密貨幣生態系統中發揮主導作用，Canary 認為這可能會使其對更廣泛的領域具有吸引力。

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 提交申請的消息傳出後，LTC 飆升超過 7%，至 71 美元左右。當天早些時候，萊特幣的交易價格約為 66 美元，過去 30 天上漲了 14%。根據 CoinGecko 的數據，週二晚些時候，該數位貨幣一度觸及 72.79 美元。

Being an open-source, fully decentralized network that offers instant, low-cost transactions worldwide, Litecoin has made a name for itself and is touted as "a proven medium of commerce complementary to Bitcoin," the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency.

作為一個開源、完全去中心化的網絡，在全球範圍內提供即時、低成本的交易，萊特幣已經聲名鵲起，並被譽為“與比特幣互補的成熟商業媒介”，而比特幣是世界上第一個去中心化的加密貨幣。

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.

當 Canary 申請 XRP ETF 時，許多加密貨幣用戶慶祝了這一舉措，尤其是在該代幣最大持有者 Ripple 試圖抵禦 SEC 持續打壓的關鍵時刻。

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

然而，其萊特幣 ETF 申請引起了加密社區的不同反應，有時甚至是激烈的反應。

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 區塊鏈生態系統的官方帳號表示，如果 Canary 的申請獲得批准，這可能代表「為加密 ETF 領域帶來更多多樣性的重要一步」。

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…

如果獲得批准，這可能代表為加密 ETF 領域帶來更多多樣性的重要一步。雖然比特幣一直是 ETF 的主要選擇，但其他替代品的引入引發了有趣的問題，即加密貨幣市場可以多元化到什麼程度...

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.

一位用戶表示，對於 Canary 來說，這一定是一個“簡單”的選擇，因為“萊特幣是比特幣的一切，但更多”，並指出 LTC 作為 BTC 的可靠替代品如何受到“陰影”。

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."

其他人對萊特幣社群並不那麼高興。一位用戶詢問為什麼 Canary 申請 LTC ETF，並表示狗狗幣（DOGE）應該是第一個。與萊特幣相比，DOGE在全球頂級數位資產的排名中要高得多。有些人對該申請的評論甚至更為極端，他們預測 LTC ETF「將會失敗並爆炸」。

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.

儘管如此，LTC 用戶還是對這個消息非常滿意。一些用戶表示，萊特幣 ETF 是不可避免的，而另一些用戶則表示，這樣的基金可以為散戶和機構投資者提供新的機會。
