SEC今天推遲了加那利資本的申請Litecoin ETF

宣布後，LTC的價格下跌了5％。公眾評論方面似乎並沒有表示委員會的意圖；這可能是標準的延遲策略。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to delay an application for a Litecoin (LTC) ETF, sparking a downturn in the cryptocurrency's price.

美國證券交易委員會（SEC）已決定推遲萊特幣（LTC）ETF的申請，從而引發了加密貨幣價格的低迷。

This application was submitted by crypto asset management firm Canary Capital LLC in December 2023, and the SEC's decision was due today, August 18.

該申請由Crypto Asset Management公司Canary Capital LLC於2023年12月提交，SEC的決定於8月18日到期。

Instead of making a swift decision, the Commission has opted to open public comment on this application. It is also specifically requesting that commenters address the proposal's compliance with regulatory requirements.

該委員會沒有做出迅速的決定，而是選擇對此申請發表公眾意見。還要求評論者解決該提案對監管要求的遵守情況。

"The Commission solicits and encourages interested persons to provide comments on the proposed rule change. The Commission asks that commenters address the sufficiency of the proposal, among other issues, to designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, or raises any new or novel concerns not previously contemplated by the Commission," the SEC stated in its notice.

“委員會的索取並鼓勵感興趣的人就擬議的規則變更發表評論。委員會要求評論者解決該提案的充分性，除其他問題外，旨在防止欺詐性和操縱性的行為和慣例，或提出委員會以前未考慮的任何新的或新穎的擔憂。” SEC在其通知中提到。

To be clear, this request for public comment isn't necessarily positive or negative. The SEC is currently considering a large number of altcoin ETF proposals, several of which have recently been subject to delay.

需要明確的是，該公眾評論的要求不一定是正面或負面的。 SEC目前正在考慮大量的Altcoin ETF提案，其中一些最近被延遲。

In fact, the Commission opened public comment on a separate application for a Litecoin ETF, submitted by Bitwise, back in February.

實際上，委員會對2月份Bitwise提交的Litecoin ETF的單獨申請發表了公眾評論。

This aspect isn't surprising, but it has nevertheless led to a bearish reaction in the market.

這並不奇怪，但是它仍然導致了市場上的看跌反應。

Will The SEC Reject A Litecoin ETF?

SEC會拒絕Litecoin ETF嗎？

A few months ago, analysts claimed that a Litecoin ETF was more likely to get approved than any other altcoin ETF. Its Polymarket odds briefly reached 85% in February.

幾個月前，分析人士聲稱，萊特幣ETF比任何其他Altcoin ETF更有可能獲得批准。 2月份的多個賠率短暫達到了85％。

Moreover, today's SEC deadline had led to anticipation within the cryptocurrency community. However, the market reacted negatively to this development.

此外，今天的SEC截止日期導致了加密貨幣社區的期待。但是，市場對這一發展產生了負面反應。

Litecoin's price dropped quickly following the announcement, falling 5% at its lowest point. Polymarket's odds for a Litecoin ETF approval in Q2 2025 also plummeted, although the chances of a 2025 approval in general remained relatively stable.

宣布之後，萊特幣的價格迅速下降，其最低點下降了5％。第二季度2025年萊特幣ETF批准的賠率也暴跌，儘管一般來說，2025年批准的機會仍然相對穩定。

The most bullish expectations had listed Q2 as a potential time frame for altcoin ETF approvals, and this bet now seems rather unlikely.

最看漲的期望將第二季度列為Altcoin ETF批准的潛在時間範圍，現在這個賭注似乎不太可能。

In other words, things could be a lot worse.

換句話說，情況可能會更糟。

James Seyffart, an ETF analyst who had predicted the Litecoin delay, didn't comment on the public comment aspect. It appears like a stretch to claim that the SEC is signaling its intent to refuse this or any other altcoin ETF proposal with this move.

ETF分析師詹姆斯·塞伊法特（James Seyffart）預測了萊特幣的延遲，他沒有對公眾評論方面發表評論。聲稱SEC表示其目的是拒絕此舉或任何其他Altcoin ETF提案，這似乎是一種伸展。

Still, traders are repositioning their bets on the altcoin as a result of this development.

儘管如此，由於這一發展，交易者仍在重新定位對Altcoin的賭注。
