LTC Rockets 12% as SEC Channels Its Inner Hamlet (Dramatic Pause Included)

by

Litecoin just did a little “hold my beer” moment and shot up nearly 12%—because the SEC, in its infinite wisdom and love of suspense, decided to delay (not decide, not deny, not approve—delay) its verdict on the desperately awaited spot Litecoin ETF. Honestly, could these regulatory plot twists get any juicier?

Here’s what happened: LTC price launched itself to about $92.05. That’s right, up 12% in a day. Cue dramatic zoom-in, smash cut to me staring directly into the camera like, “Did that just happen?”

But wait, there’s more—trading volume didn’t just increase, it absolutely lost the plot. Up 59% (that’s $877 million for you number fetishists). All because the SEC’s idea of action is to kind of…not act. So rebellious!

The background drama: Canary Funds wants to roll out America’s first ETF literally glued to Litecoin’s price. The SEC, meanwhile, wants your opinion. Yes, you. Are you expert enough to prevent crypto heartbreak *and* market manipulation? The regulators are grinding this out for commentary like a bunch of indecisive agony aunts.

So as LTC lounges at #21 in the crypto hit parade, basking in a $7 billion market cap, the message is clear: the crowd remains starved for crypto ETFs, even if the SEC is treating the approval process like a BBC miniseries cliffhanger. Public comments are open, actual decision? Eh, maybe 2025 if you’re lucky. In the meantime, pop some popcorn. 🍿🚀
