莱特币创始人表示 SEC 未来将批准莱特币 ETF

莱特币创始人 Charlie Lee 预计美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 将批准莱特币 (LTC) 交易所交易基金 (ETF)。 Lee 认为，莱特币与比特币的相似之处增强了他的乐观情绪，比特币拥有多个获批的现货 ETF。他建议，像比特币一样，莱特币被归类为工作量证明加密货币，使其有资格成为现货 ETF。然而，Lee 承认，对 LTC ETF 的需求可能低于比特币，这可能是由于以太坊对现货 ETF 的广泛需求。

Litecoin Founder Predicts SEC Approval for Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)

莱特币创始人预测 SEC 批准交易所交易基金 (ETF)

New York, April 30, 2024 - Litecoin founder Charlie Lee has expressed his belief that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will eventually approve an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for Litecoin (LTC).

纽约，2024 年 4 月 30 日 - 莱特币创始人 Charlie Lee 表示相信美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 最终将批准莱特币 (LTC) 的交易所交易基金 (ETF)。

During a recent interview with Bitcoin Bros, Lee stated that the approval of a Litecoin ETF is "not a matter of if, but when." He drew parallels between Litecoin and Bitcoin, which has obtained multiple spot ETFs in the United States following the SEC's regulatory nod earlier this year.

在最近接受 Bitcoin Bros 采访时，Lee 表示，莱特币 ETF 的批准“不是是否批准的问题，而是何时批准的问题”。他将莱特币和比特币进行了比较，在今年早些时候获得美国证券交易委员会的监管批准后，比特币已在美国获得了多个现货 ETF。

Lee's optimism stems from Litecoin's similarities to Bitcoin, both being proof-of-work cryptocurrencies. The classification of Bitcoin as a commodity, he argues, could be extended to Litecoin as well. This designation allows for the creation of spot ETFs similar to those that Bitcoin has secured.

李的乐观情绪源于莱特币与比特币的相似之处，两者都是工作量证明的加密货币。他认为，比特币作为商品的分类也可以扩展到莱特币。这一指定允许创建类似于比特币所担保的现货 ETF。

However, Lee acknowledges that demand for a Litecoin ETF may not reach the same levels as those for Bitcoin. He also recognizes that Ethereum spot ETFs face wider demand than LTC, but predicts regulatory hurdles due to Ethereum's transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS).

然而，Lee 承认，对莱特币 ETF 的需求可能无法达到与比特币相同的水平。他还认识到，以太坊现货 ETF 面临着比 LTC 更广泛的需求，但他预计，由于以太坊从工作量证明 (PoW) 向股权证明 (PoS) 的转变，将面临监管障碍。

Ethereum's Merge upgrade in September 2022 shifted the network to a PoS consensus mechanism, and recent court filings reveal that the SEC initiated investigations into the potential classification of Ether as a security in March of last year. The SEC has subpoenaed Ethereum development studio Consensys, which in turn filed a lawsuit against the SEC last week challenging its approach to crypto regulation.

以太坊于 2022 年 9 月进行的合并升级将网络转变为 PoS 共识机制，最近的法庭文件显示，SEC 于去年 3 月启动了对以太坊作为证券的潜在分类的调查。美国证券交易委员会已传唤以太坊开发工作室 Consensys，后者上周又对美国证券交易委员会提起诉讼，质疑其加密货币监管方法。

Amid this regulatory uncertainty, the SEC has postponed decisions on multiple Ethereum spot ETFs, and experts anticipate potential rejections of these applications in May.

在这种监管不确定性的情况下，美国证券交易委员会推迟了对多个以太坊现货 ETF 的决定，专家预计这些申请可能会在 5 月份被拒绝。

Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs have received approval for trading in Hong Kong and were launched on April 30. While their debut was less explosive than the Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, experts predict accelerated performance in the future.

与此同时，现货以太坊 ETF 已获准在香港交易，并于 4 月 30 日推出。虽然其首次亮相的爆炸性不如美国的比特币 ETF，但专家预测未来表现将加速。

The news of a potential Litecoin ETF approval has sparked excitement within the cryptocurrency community, which sees it as a sign of growing institutional adoption for Litecoin. However, it remains to be seen when the SEC will grant its approval and whether demand for a Litecoin ETF will match that of Bitcoin.

莱特币 ETF 可能获得批准的消息引发了加密货币社区的兴奋，他们认为这是机构越来越多地采用莱特币的标志。然而，美国证券交易委员会何时批准以及对莱特币 ETF 的需求是否与比特币的需求相匹配仍有待观察。
