SEC今天推迟了加那利资本的申请Litecoin ETF

宣布后，LTC的价格下跌了5％。公众评论方面似乎并没有表示委员会的意图；这可能是标准的延迟策略。

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.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）已决定推迟莱特币（LTC）ETF的申请，从而引发了加密货币价格的低迷。

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.

该申请由Crypto Asset Management公司Canary Capital LLC于2023年12月提交，SEC的决定于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.

该委员会没有做出迅速的决定，而是选择对此申请发表公众意见。还要求评论者解决该提案对监管要求的遵守情况。

"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.

“委员会的索取并鼓励感兴趣的人就拟议的规则变更发表评论。委员会要求评论者解决该提案的充分性，除其他问题外，旨在防止欺诈性和操纵性的行为和惯例，或提出委员会以前未考虑的任何新的或新颖的担忧。” 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.

需要明确的是，该公众评论的要求不一定是正面或负面的。 SEC目前正在考虑大量的Altcoin ETF提案，其中一些最近被延迟。

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

实际上，委员会对2月份Bitwise提交的Litecoin ETF的单独申请发表了公众评论。

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

这并不奇怪，但是它仍然导致了市场上的看跌反应。

Will The SEC Reject A Litecoin ETF?

SEC会拒绝Litecoin ETF吗？

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.

几个月前，分析人士声称，莱特币ETF比任何其他Altcoin ETF更有可能获得批准。 2月份的多个赔率短暂达到了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截止日期导致了加密货币社区的期待。但是，市场对这一发展产生了负面反应。

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.

宣布之后，莱特币的价格迅速下降，其最低点下降了5％。第二季度2025年莱特币ETF批准的赔率也暴跌，尽管一般来说，2025年批准的机会仍然相对稳定。

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

最看涨的期望将第二季度列为Altcoin ETF批准的潜在时间范围，现在这个赌注似乎不太可能。

In other words, things could be a lot worse.

换句话说，情况可能会更糟。

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分析师詹姆斯·塞伊法特（James Seyffart）预测了莱特币的延迟，他没有对公众评论方面发表评论。声称SEC表示其目的是拒绝此举或任何其他Altcoin ETF提案，这似乎是一种伸展。

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

尽管如此，由于这一发展，交易者仍在重新定位对Altcoin的赌注。
