As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I find myself intrigued by Canary Capital’s recent filings for both Litecoin (LTC) and XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The timing, just before the US presidential election, seems to suggest a strategic play on political winds.
According to papers submitted on October 15th, Asset manager Canary Capital is seeking approval from US regulatory bodies for a Bitcoin-like cryptocurrency Litecoin (LTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The filing represents the newest addition to the growing list of suggested ETFs aimed at investing in non-traditional cryptocurrencies, prior to the U.S. presidential election in November.
According to the submitted documents, Canary’s proposed ETF intends to directly invest in Litecoin (LTC) and mimic the performance of the CoinDesk Litecoin Price Index (LTX).
Litecoin functions as a fast, cost-effective substitute for Bitcoin (BTC), particularly for smaller transactions, in the realm of decentralized, person-to-person digital money.
Canary files for XRP ETF as well
On October 9th, Canary submitted an S-1 form for a potential XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). This move followed closely behind crypto fund provider Bitwise’s request, made just days prior, to register an equivalent ETF with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In simpler terms, Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, stated on X platform that this appears to be an option for a short-term prediction about the November election.
According to Geraci, politics play a significant role in the immediate situation, but he believes that these developments are unavoidable in the long run.
The XRP token was issued by Ripple, a crypto payments protocol, in 2012.
2020 saw XRP find itself at the center of a heated legal dispute initiated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC claimed that the token’s initial release was equivalent to an unregistered sale of securities.
Submitting the S-1 registration form initiates the process of introducing a Long-Term Care (LTC) ETF, however, Canary will need to be patient while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) conducts their review of the submitted documentation.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should approve a modification in their rules, allowing at least one national stock exchange to make it possible for the suggested ETF to be traded.
In simpler terms, according to Galaxy Research’s assessment on October 14th, Vice President Kamala Harris, who is also a presidential candidate, appears more open to cryptocurrencies compared to President Joe Biden. However, she is not as supportive of the industry as her rival and former President Donald Trump.
Under President Biden’s leadership, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted a proactive regulatory approach towards cryptocurrencies, launching over 100 regulatory measures aimed at the industry.
In July, Trump promised to “fire” Gary Gensler, who currently heads the SEC.
From September onwards, Harris stepped up her involvement in cryptocurrencies. She included blockchain technology among a list of promising fields where she aims to keep the United States as a leading force.
Galaxy implied that behind-the-scenes discussions indicate Harris may be adopting a somewhat more positive strategy compared to Biden.
