Canary Capital filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to list an exchange-traded fund underpinned by the Bitcoin-inspired cryptocurrency, Litecoin.

Crypto-focused investment startup Canary Capital filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission to bring a spot Litecoin (LTC) ETF to Wall Street trading terminals. The new wealth manager, launched by Valkyrie founder Steven McClurg, submitted documents, including a Form S-1, signaling the formal registration of securities for its spot LTC ETF.

Litecoin is one of the oldest blockchain assets and is often considered an offshoot of Bitcoin (BTC). However, LTC was built in 2011 as a lighter version of BTC rather than an actual Bitcoin fork. Thirteen years later, LTC traded at almost $70 per coin and had a market cap of over $5.25 billion. The token ranked 27th among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by valuation.

Canary Capital has jumped head-first into the crypto ETF bidding scene. Last week, the investment firm joined Bitwise to bid for a spot (XRP) ETF. On Oct. 1, Canaray unveiled its inaugural private fund focused on Hedera (HBAR) and called the Canary HBAR Trust.

Crypto ETF filings have become a regular theme at the SEC since some 11 issuers secured approval for spot Bitcoin funds in January. Spot Ethereum (ETH) ETFs followed in late July, sparking a mountain of speculation over which crypto would don the institutional ETF wrapper next.
