Canary Capital Updates Spot Litecoin and Hedera ETF Filings

Canary Capital, a rising cryptocurrency investment firm, has modified its S-1 submissions with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on both the Litecoin and Hedera spot ETFs. In the revised filing, the sponsor fees came into play at 95 basis points (bps) per ETF.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that such fees are a little bit more expensive compared to the spot Bitcoin ETFs, yet normal among new market entrants into growing crypto spaces. Canary’s suggested ETF ticker designations have also been approved, with LTCC as the ticker for Litecoin and HBR as the ticker for Hedera.

It is the date of these filings that has attracted attention, as they come in the midst of the United States government shutdown, whose effects have delayed the SEC. Last week, the Commission missed the final decision date on Canary’s Litecoin ETF because, under the shutdown, the Commission scaled down in operations.

It appears from Balchunas that the amendment is the last act before launch, indicating that approval is imminent when the government goes back to normal operations.

He said, “Canary just filed S-1 amendment for Litecoin and HBAR spot ETFs, and they include the fees (95bps each) and the tickers (LTCC and HBR). Which is typically the last thing updated before go-time. With the shutdown, tho who knows, but these docs look pretty finalized to me.”
