Oh, the drama continues! SEC decides to delay CoinShares‘ Spot Litecoin ETF decision once more. Market risks, fraud concerns, and the usual „let’s slow things down“ vibe. The final ruling, however, is *tentatively* expected by October 2025 – because, apparently, regulators need *just a little more time*.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again opted for a good old-fashioned delay in its decision on CoinShares‘ proposed spot Litecoin (LTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF). No surprises here, folks! This is merely another chapter in the ongoing saga of regulatory caution toward cryptocurrency ETFs. Initially, the SEC had promised to make up its mind by May 26, 2025. But, in a plot twist that nobody saw coming, they’ve extended the deadline to August 24, 2025. Apparently, they want more *feedback* from the public. How refreshing.
CoinShares‘ Spot Litecoin ETF Gets A Third SEC Delay – The Saga Continues
CoinShares, the brave crusaders of the crypto world, thought it might be nice to give investors a *regulated* way to dabble in Litecoin without having to actually own any (genius, right?). Their ETF would track a Litecoin index, with a blend of LTC and cash – but don’t expect any staking or yields. However, the SEC seems a tad concerned about the *risks* involved. It’s the third time the CoinShares LTC ETF has been delayed, and hey, why stop there? The SEC also delayed CoinShares‘ XRP ETF application. Seems like the SEC is in no rush to embrace the crypto revolution… or maybe it just enjoys the suspense.
In the meantime, other companies like Canary Capital and Grayscale are also twiddling their thumbs, waiting to hear back on their own Litecoin ETF proposals. The SEC’s review process is a *snooze-fest*, with 19b-4 filings from exchanges like Nasdaq kicking off a 240-day waiting period. CoinShares officially started the clock in February 2025, so we can expect a decision by October 2025. Fingers crossed, right?

According to Bloomberg’s resident crypto gurus, James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas, the odds of a Litecoin ETF getting the green light stand at an impressive 90%. Why? Because Litecoin is considered a commodity (oh, how fancy!). The analysts predict that approvals might roll in as early as Q4 2025. But some conspiracy theorists – I mean, crypto analysts – think October 23, 2025, is the *real* deadline for CoinShares to make their move. Oh, the suspense!
Will October 2025 Be the Make-or-Break Month for CoinShares Litecoin ETF?
Despite the endless delays, there’s still a hint of optimism in the air. Litecoin’s price recently soared by 17%, reaching a rather nice $120. This surge, of course, is fueled by ETF speculation and broader market trends (because who doesn’t love a good market trend?). Polymarket data suggests an 80% chance of approval for Litecoin ETFs by the end of the year, which is just a tad lower than XRP’s 83%. But hey, Litecoin’s regulatory track record is *relatively* clean, which could give it the upper hand. But don’t tell that to the SEC. They’re still taking their sweet time, as they scrutinize over 70 crypto ETF applications. Talk about overachieving!
And, of course, delays aren’t just reserved for Litecoin. Other altcoin ETFs, like those for Solana and Dogecoin, are also stuck in the same torturous review process. It begs the question: is the SEC protecting investors, or is it just trying to kill innovation with kindness (and paperwork)? CoinShares and the entire crypto community are on tenterhooks waiting for some sort of clarity.
The SEC’s continuous stalling on CoinShares‘ spot Litecoin ETF speaks volumes about regulators‘ cautious stance on crypto-based investment products. While the SEC may be trying to protect the market from manipulation and fraud, Litecoin’s price keeps rising, and optimism remains. It’s a delicate dance between progress and regulation. October 2025 – you better bring the drama!
