Laugh Now: SEC’s Theatrical Delay of the Litecoin ETF—You Won’t Believe What Happens Next! 😂

by

Ah! Behold, dear friends, the grand stage of bureaucracy, where our valiant actors—the honorable SEC—make their entrance not with alacrity, but a stately, ponderous waltz! Canary Funds, in an act of great audacity, did present for the court’s amusement a curious contraption: the celebrated Litecoin ETF! 🎭 But lo, the regulators donned their spectacles and, clutching their ledgers, infamously declared, “Let us wait! Let us ponder, let us seek opinions from the masses, for fraud and manipulation, these phantoms doth trouble our sleep anew!”

And what say their latest playbill? The SEC inquired in tones so grave, “Does this Litecoin ETF, perchance, bring forth mysterious perils not yet invented, or troubles not yet ruminated upon by our wise elders?”

Mark ye well, this delay is but one act in a longer farce. Only yestereve, the same noble agency postponed its wisdom on monstrous creations tied to XRP, Hedera, and even that canine darling, Dogecoin! One might imagine the commissioners in wigs, forever stalled at intermission, nibbling on crypto confections and toasting to ‘optimism’ (whatever bottle that’s from). 🥂

Yet, since Sir Trump ascended to the throne, the tone hath shifted. The SEC, once as tight-fisted as a miser in winter, now dances with crypto companies, dropping lawsuits with nary a regret and convening public feasts in the name of legal enlightenment.

Attention! Enter Paul Atkins, the new chair, whose heartbeat is—how did he say it?—in syncopation with the “enormous advantages” of crypto! This gallant fellow professes to collaborate with the political jesters to design a regulatory masque fit for digital coinage.

And who blows the trumpet of hope? Master James Seyffart of Bloomberg, o wise oracle of ETFs, proclaims on X—formerly Twitter, but let us keep up with the times—that Litecoin may be the chosen one! “If any asset shouldst seize early approval, let it be Litecoin!” he cries, perhaps whilst twirling his handlebar mustache.

Meanwhile, Canary Funds engages in a tête-à-tête with Grayscale and CoinShares, each vying for the first-mover’s crown to launch a Litecoin ETF. Yet, as the chorus gathers, the audience (that is, investors), must continue to wait, twiddling thumbs and composing commentaries, as the SEC plots its next dramatic pause. 🎭⏳
