Canary Capital Launches Canary Litecoin ETF (LTCC)

Canary Capital Group LLC (“Canary Capital”), a digital asset-focused investment firm, is proud to announce the launch of the Canary Litecoin ETF (Nasdaq: LTCC), a spot Litecoin ETF approved for trading by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

“This is another landmark moment in what has been a pivotal year for the crypto industry, Canary is incredibly proud to have delivered on our mission to bring registered crypto investment solutions to the broader investment public,” remarks Steven McClurg, CEO and founder of Canary Capital. “As one of the longest-running blockchains, Litecoin has demonstrated a proven track record of security and reliability with significant enterprise-class use cases. With LTCC, we are proud to provide investors an SEC-registered vehicle to gain exposure to this important digital asset.”

With approximately 14 years of continuous 100% uptime and growing adoption across payment processors and financial institutions, Litecoin has cemented its role as a trusted, standard-setting cryptocurrency. Through LTCC, investors can now get exposure to Litecoin through a simplified and familiar vehicle supported by leading institutional partners and service providers.
