Litecoin (CRYPTO: LTC) surged as one of the market's biggest gainers Thursday after the Nasdaq stock exchange submitted a request to the SEC to list a spot exchange-traded fund tracking the coin's price.

That calculation is based on the roughly 6% of bitcoin’s total supply now locked up in a variety of ETFs. Similar performance by a LTC product would yield more than $500 million of inflows for the token, which has a similar Proof of Work consensus mechanism to that of BTC.

Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas predicts that Litecoin is the most likely cryptocurrency to receive a U.S. ETF approval next, following recent updates to its S-1 filing with the SEC.

Litecoin ETF is the next cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) that could debut in the near future, said Eric Balchunas.

Grayscale Investments has revised its Litecoin Trust filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), signaling progress in efforts to launch a spot Litecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
