Grayscale Moves to Convert Litecoin Trust Into NYSE Arca ETF — BigGo Finance

Grayscale Investments filed to convert its Litecoin Trust into a spot ETF (LTCN) on NYSE Arca. Litecoin trades near $53.62, up 72% from its August low. The SEC must approve the conversion, with analysts estimating high odds. Canary Capital's existing Litecoin ETF has seen minimal demand. Litecoin's technical indicators show mixed momentum, with key levels at $54.62 and $51.60.
