When the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the 11 initial applications for spot ETFs last January 2024, it signaled a favorable environment for Bitcoin. The top digital asset\u2019s price surged thanks to increasing institutional attention. So, it isn\u2019t surprising that other top crypto projects follow suit, with Litecoin (LTC), a proof-of-work coin, on the deciding table.<\/p>\n

However, Litecoin is having a rough start to the year. It\u2019s currently trading at $94.89, down 22%<\/a> in the last 30 days. Litecoin\u2019s price performance this week aligns with other altcoins, which surrendered some of their gains last year.<\/p>\n

Also, crypto analysts attribute Litecoin\u2019s slide to the diminishing odds that spot LTC ETFs will be approved in 2025. According to Polymarket\u2019s tracking<\/a>, the odds of approving the spot LTC ETFs this year dipped to 24% as of January 13th.<\/p>\n

Odds Of Spot ETFs For Litecoin Continue To Drop<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For months, the crypto industry and betting markets have been projecting the odds of finally having these spot Litecoin ETFs. On December 19th, the Polymarket odds put the chances at 75% before starting to dip as the year closed. The odds were close to 50% at the start of the year, but this soon began to taper, and it\u2019s now at 24%.<\/p>\n

However, some crypto analysts are optimistic that these ETFs<\/a> will be approved soon. Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg analyst, shared his optimism in a post. He explained that the SEC would approve these funds since they are a fork of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

LTC is currently trading at $94.8. Chart: TradingView<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Wave Of Crypto ETFs Soon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to Bloomberg\u2019s Balchunas, the market is ready to welcome the approval of new spot ETFs for different coins. In his Twitter\/X post shared on December 18th, he said that the Bitcoin and Ether ETF combo may be approved, and there\u2019s a probability that Litecoin\u2019s ETFs may be next. He argued that since Litecoin is Bitcoin\u2019s fork, it will be easier for proponents to gain approval.<\/p>\n

In addition to Litecoin, Balchunas also predicted that HBAR may be next since it\u2019s not identified as a security, followed by XRP\/Solana. However, XRP<\/a> has the lowest odds of being approved since it has a pending lawsuit over its securities labelling.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Ahead For Spot Litecoin ETFs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Canary Capital was the only company to file an application for Litecoin\u2019s ETF. Analysts also expect Grayscale to follow suit if it decides to convert its Litecoin Trust, which boasts over $215 million in assets.<\/p>\n

Some experts say that the spot ETFs for Litecoin may have an uncertain future even if it gains SEC approval. Some say that it\u2019s questionable whether institutional investors will pick these investments. Even Bitcoin and Ether\u2019s spot ETF performances are relatively weak. For example, Bitcoin funds are backed by $107 billion in assets, representing just 5.7% of the total coin\u2019s market cap.<\/p>\n

Ethereum, on the other hand, boasts $11.6 billion, just 2.96% of the total asset\u2019s market cap. Since Litecoin is a smaller cryptocurrency project, many analysts don\u2019t expect much from the spot LTC ETFs.<\/p>\n

But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats \u2013 a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley! So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair. Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects. So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words \u2013 the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.\",\"sameAs\":[\"jomarjet01\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/jomarjet01\/\"}]}<\/script>\n","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Litecoin Price Falters Amid Doubts Over LTC ETF

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects. So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words \u2013 the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.","sameAs":["jomarjet01"],"url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/jomarjet01\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Litecoin Price Falters Amid Doubts Over LTC ETF Approval","url":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/altcoin\/litecoin-price-falters-amid-doubts-over-ltc-etf-approval\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/altcoin\/litecoin-price-falters-amid-doubts-over-ltc-etf-approval\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a_696105.jpg?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a_696105.jpg?fit=5184%2C3888"},"articleSection":"Altcoin","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christian Encila"}],"creator":["Christian Encila"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["altcoin","crypto","litecoin","ltc"],"dateCreated":"2025-01-13T17:00:11Z","datePublished":"2025-01-13T17:00:11Z","dateModified":"2025-01-13T17:00:11Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Litecoin Price Falters Amid Doubts Over LTC ETF Approval\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/altcoin\\\/litecoin-price-falters-amid-doubts-over-ltc-etf-approval\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/altcoin\\\/litecoin-price-falters-amid-doubts-over-ltc-etf-approval\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/01\\\/a_696105.jpg?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/01\\\/a_696105.jpg?fit=5184%2C3888\"},\"articleSection\":\"Altcoin\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Christian Encila\"}],\"creator\":[\"Christian Encila\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"altcoin\",\"crypto\",\"litecoin\",\"ltc\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2025-01-13T17:00:11Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-01-13T17:00:11Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-01-13T17:00:11Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/wncen.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a_696105.jpg?fit=5184%2C3888","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/557"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674665"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674665\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":674720,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674665\/revisions\/674720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
