href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/sec-approval-of-spot-ethereum-etfs-why-it-matters\">Ether ETFs<\/a>, the U.S. SEC concluded that fraud or manipulation in spot crypto markets could be detected by examining the &#8220;<a

quality of the correlation analysis in the record, including the Commission&#8217;s own analysis, the Commission is able to conclude that fraud or manipulation that impacts prices in spot Bitcoin markets would likely similarly impact CME Bitcoin futures prices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And because the CME&#8217;s surveillance can assist in detecting those impacts on CME Bitcoin futures prices, the Exchanges&#8217; comprehensive surveillance-sharing agreement with the CME &#8230; can be reasonably expected to assist in surveilling for fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In late January 2025, when the Nasdaq Stock Exchange applied to list and trade shares of the Canary Litecoin ETF, the exchange disclosed that it had a surveillance-sharing agreement with Coinbase Derivatives through its membership in the Intermarket Surveillance Group (ISG).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Similar to the Spot Bitcoin and Spot ETH ETPs previously approved by the SEC, Nasdaq&#8217;s ability to obtain information regarding trading in the LTC futures from other markets that are members of the ISG (specifically Coinbase Derivatives) would assist Nasdaq in detecting and deterring misconduct,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/files\/rules\/sro\/nasdaq\/2025\/34-102303.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether the SEC will view the Coinbase Derivatives exchange in the same light as the CME. As of February 2025, the CME has only listed crypto derivative products for Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/solana-etfs\">Techopedia&#8217;s analysis on spot Solana ETFs<\/a>, we mentioned the lack of Solana futures trading on CME as a major deterrent to spot SOL ETF hopes.<\/p>\n<p>Techopedia also noted that the SEC had used a 31-month sample period between October 2021 and March 2024 to examine the correlation between Ether futures prices and spot ETH prices.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Litecoin or Solana futures contacts were to get listed on the CME today, it would take about three years to record market data as deep as the set used when the SEC discussed the approval of spot ETH ETFs.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC has up to 45 days to respond to Nasdaq&#8217;s spot Litecoin ETF application filed on January 29, 2025. The regulator can extend the deadline to 90 days if needed to approve, deny, or take the discussions further.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EricBalchunas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">@EricBalchunas<\/a> and I took a look at the filings for spot crypto ETFs.

How have cryptocurrency prices reacted to spot ETF listings in the past?<\/p>\n<h3>Spot Bitcoin ETFs Sent BTC Prices to All-time Highs<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/now-we-have-spot-btc-etfs-whats-next\">approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a> in January 2024 was a watershed moment for the cryptocurrency industry. It was the moment when Bitcoin was finally recognized as a legitimate investment class.<\/p>\n<p>Spot BTC ETFs have enabled stock market investors, corporations, and institutions to gain exposure to the premier cryptocurrency safely and conveniently.<\/p>\n<p>When the spot BTC ETFs were approved on January 10, 2024, BTC was trading at over $46,000.<\/p>\n<p>Spot Bitcoin ETFs were so popular that Blackrock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) became the ninth most successful ETF launched of the past decade (2014-2024) with a peak asset under management valuation of about $24 billion, data compiled by CFRA <a href=\"https:\/\/go.cfraresearch.com\/l\/482681\/2024-10-22\/2d1gsw5\/482681\/1729622604T9u96doN\/WEB_Resources_Research_ETF_Most_Successful_ETF_AK_20241010.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">showed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The spot Bitcoin ETF achieved this feat in less than nine months of trading.<\/p>\n<p>CFRA said that IBIT tapped into the &#8220;latent demand for a spot Bitcoin ETF, which existed because prior crypto investment options like futures-based crypto ETPs and closed-end fund structures had drawbacks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was no surprise to see BTC scale multiple all-time high peaks in 2024. The bellwether Bitcoin eventually peaked at $109,114 on January 20, 2025, about 137% higher than its pre-spot BTC ETF price.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_381540\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-381540\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BTC-price-performance-ETF.jpg\" alt=\"Line graph showing Bitcoin's price in USD from January 2024 to February 2025, with a significant rise and fluctuations in trading volume.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"664\" class=\"wp-image-381540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BTC-price-performance-ETF.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BTC-price-performance-ETF-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BTC-price-performance-ETF-1024x567.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BTC-price-performance-ETF-768x425.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-381540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTC price performance since spot BTC ETFs were approved in January 2024.

Created as a &#8220;lite version of Bitcoin,&#8221; its aim was offering faster block times, higher network throughputs, and lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/gas-fee-ethereum\">fees<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Litecoin supporters are hoping that the crypto project&#8217;s close association with Bitcoin and its existence lasting well over a decade will help LTC in its spot ETF application with the U.S. SEC.<\/p>\n<p>The Nasdaq Stock Exchange has leaned on Litecoin&#8217;s close association with Bitcoin in its spot LTC ETF listing application, calling the proposed listing derivative a &#8220;commodity-based trust shares.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Note that former SEC chair Gary Gensler only recognized Bitcoin as a commodity among all crypto assets.<\/p>\n<p>The LTC token price performance over the last 90 days, as of February 11, 2025, indicates that the cryptocurrency is benefiting from the spot LTC ETF speculation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_381542\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-381542\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LTC-1m-Chart.jpg\" alt=\"A candlestick chart showing Litecoin's price fluctuations against the US Dollar from mid-2017 to early 2025, highlighting significant trends.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"673\" class=\"wp-image-381542 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LTC-1m-Chart.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LTC-1m-Chart-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LTC-1m-Chart-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LTC-1m-Chart-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-381542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Litecoin\u2019s one-month price performance since June 2017.

XRP outperformed LTC with a gain of over 250%, over the last 90 days as of February 11, 2025, on positive developments regarding its SEC lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>LTC&#8217;s all-time high stands at about $412 hit in May 2021. At the time of writing, LTC was trading about 69% below its record-high level.<\/p>\n<p>Following a Litecoin bear market that saw the token bottom at about $40 in June 2022, the cryptocurrency has bounced back to trade at about $125 supported by a privacy-focused upgrade called Mimblewimble Extension Blocks (MWEB) in 2022 and Litecoin halving event in 2023.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The approval for the spot Litecoin ETF is far from guaranteed despite Bloomberg analysts&#8217; projections that LTC is the most likely cryptocurrency to secure a spot ETF in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC&#8217;s historical reliance on CME futures data could present a roadblock and question regulators whether Coinbase Derivatives can meet the same standard.<\/p>\n<p>For Litecoin investors, the mixed impact of past spot ETF approvals on cryptocurrency prices is a key insight.
