Historic Firsts for Litecoin and Hedera
Canary Capital is set to debut the Canary Litecoin ETF and Canary HBAR ETF, marking the first-ever U.S. exchange-traded funds for the two cryptocurrencies. Both will begin trading on Nasdaq on Tuesday.
Regulatory Flexibility Enables Launch
The ETFs were made possible by new SEC guidance allowing S-1 filings to proceed without delay, even amid the federal shutdown. Canary filed the necessary Form 8-A documents earlier this week.
CEO on Industry Progress
“This is another landmark moment for crypto adoption,” said Canary CEO Steven McClurg. He emphasized the firm’s mission to bring “regulated, accessible digital asset exposure to traditional investors.”
Expanding the ETF Pipeline
The launches come as dozens of crypto ETFs await final listing approvals, with more expected soon. Litecoin and HBAR both rank among the top 30 cryptocurrencies, giving investors new, regulated ways to access mid-cap digital assets.
