The evening fell, heavy with rumors, over the troubled lands of cryptocurrency. Litecoin (LTC)—that silver gleam forever standing in Bitcoin’s shadow—shuddered with a life of its own, a ghostly pulse among the wires. On May 5, against a polyphonic babble of market seers, it rose, wild and inexplicable, by 5%, reaching a melancholy $88.65. Fate, it seemed, had poured a vodka for Litecoin and told it, ‘Tonight, you dance.’
Canary Capital’s Proposal: A Tragedy in Several Acts
They talk in circles about Canary Capital’s proposal for a spot Litecoin ETF, as if reciting the lines of an old play, waiting for the curtain to rise—or fall. The U.S. SEC, that eternal bureaucratic sphinx, has yet to cast its verdict. Meanwhile, traders clutch their phones, as nervous and hopeful as poets watching for spring.
Word on the street (well, the digital alleyways) says that if any coin is to be anointed, it’s Litecoin—XRP can keep waiting in the lobby. Analysts clutch their abacuses and point: it could be the turning point, the miracle after so many delayed decisions. Or perhaps just another rehearsal in a theatre with no audience.
And then there’s James Seyffart from Bloomberg, casting his X-shaped prophecies! “Delay is likely,” he tweets, with the jaded acceptance of a man who’s waited all day for the samovar to boil, only to find he forgot the tea leaves. Yet, hope flits about: if fortune favors the brave, it may favor the Litecoin ETF—or at least those who survive these drama-filled Mondays.
The @CanaryFunds Litecoin ETF filing is due for a decision (possibly a delay) by Monday 5/5. SEC went early & delayed a bunch of filings but not this. If any asset has a chance of early approval it’s Litecoin IMO. Personally think a delay is more likely but def something to watch

A brief history: Canary Capital staged its paperwork in October 2024—the kind of filing that drowns in endless tea, biscuits, and official stamps. Nasdaq, not to be outdone, arrived with a 19b-4 in January 2025. Today, May 5, is supposed to be the day of reckoning, but you know how bureaucrats and clockwork rarely keep each other’s company.
If, by miracle or error, approval graces the ETF, investors can plunge into Litecoin’s icy river without ever buying the thing itself. The crowd calls it “mainstream adoption”; the poets call it “avoiding the hassle of losing your private key.” Either way, institutional eyeballs are reportedly glistening.
Litecoin Roars—The Crowd Remains Skeptical Yet Amused
Cue dramatic orchestration: Litecoin tears off its chains and leaps out of its former $65–$85 cell, just in time to surprise skeptics and delight short-term speculators. As of now—moments before the Kremlin’s clock chimes twelve—it sits at $88.25, up 2.86%, still glancing nervously at the horizon. CoinMarketCap nods approvingly, somewhere in the wings.
Crypto Patel, who presumably wears sunglasses indoors, claims that if this farce continues, $255 and $500 aren’t fantasies but pit stops—though he stopped short of promising moonlight and caviar. Strangely, the trading volume doesn’t disagree.

Volumes swelled by 56.34%, upwards of $410 million—a figure so round and proud even the czaristic wallets would blush. Retail and institutional hands alike move, twitch, and overanalyze. Somewhere a grandmother wonders if she should have held onto those dusty Litecoin wallets from 2019.
Zooming in, the 4-hour technicals (50, 100, 200—like Russian nesting dolls of optimism) hold the price aloft, while resistance tiptoes between $88 and $90, support lounging lower at $84, $81, and, for pessimists, $75. Speculators gather at the gates of Washington, watching for a verdict as if it were the outcome of an ancient duel—unlikely heroes waiting in the wings, ready to change history (or at least a few portfolios).
Yet, the future is never short of suitors: Grayscale has unveiled its Bitcoin Adopters ETF (BCOR)—a beauty pageant for companies clutching 100 BTC or more. It seems everyone’s rushing toward the stage. Let’s hope nobody trips over the curtain.
