This edition of Crypto Daybook Americas provides insights into the developments in the cryptocurrency market, particularly focusing on Litecoin’s performance after a recent ETF acknowledgment by the SEC and the general market’s reaction to Federal Reserve statements.
Market Performance
The market is showing positive signs following a significant event related to the Fed, shifting attention to optimistic trends such as the pro-crypto agenda in the White House and an uptick in Tether’s market offerings.
Litecoin’s Performance
Litecoin (LTC), dubbed the silver to Bitcoin’s gold, saw a significant increase of over 11%, standing out among cryptocurrencies with over $5 billion in market capitalization. This surge can be attributed to the SEC’s acceptance of Canary Capital’s Litecoin ETF proposal, paving the way for potential approval, which could mirror the successes of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
“This is the first altcoin ETF filing to get acknowledged,” noted Eric Balchunas, a Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg.
